TIFU by not bringing my journal to class. Now I have an insane 15 page research paper worth 150 points.

For some context I go to a college prep high-school and I have an A day B day schedule where I only bring B day stuff B day and same for A day. It’s just too heavy to bring everything everyday. You can probably see where this is going.

So last week I noticed my backpack was getting really heavy to where it was hurting my shoulders. Last Thursday night I found some free time and took every class out of my binders and took out any papers that I didn’t need (like two 50 page packets) then I reorganized them into A day and B day binders. Friday was a B day so I packed my B day binder in my backpack and some A day homework incase I found free time to work on it.

Fast forward to last period, I have a class called Great Books where we analyze texts and do Socratic seminars on them. I then realize that I left my big ass 3 subject great books journal at home with my text and seminar discussion questions/pre work. The class policy is that you have to complete your pre work and bring that and the text to class for both days of the seminar or you’ll have to do a 15 page research paper answering the pre work questions and considering other points of view with 5 pieces of evidence for each question. It’s also worth 150 points. 😭

The full requirements of the project is: -finish the pre work (4 questions with 1 piece of evidence each (20 points)

-analysis response for 4 questions (2 pages for each question) -2 pieces of evidence from the text in each response -3 pieces of evidence from researched sources each -address each of the 4 questions with different viewpoints to make up for the Socratic seminar (80 points)

-write 4 more level 5-6 socratic seminar questions -provide a detail response to each -2 pieces of evidence from the text each -2 pieces of evidence from researched sources each -must be 5-6 pages total for this part (50 points)

Total of 150 points.

This assignment is insane.

I mistakenly thought that we had another class period to work on our pre work and wasn’t aware the seminar was that Friday. I also didn’t realize I forgot my notebook until that period. I have now spent my entire weekend doing this research paper along with other homework.

Thankfully this isn’t due until next Thursday but like I said, I go to a college prep school, so I’ll have lots of other homework throughout the week. My school is also very far away from my house. So I only have an hour on the bus ride home plus 5 hours at home to actually do homework because of my long bus rides. Not including time to eat and take breaks. I’m screwed.

TLDR: forgot to bring my notebook to class, now I have a 15 page research project with 6 days to complete and it’s worth 150 points. I also have 7 other classes that may assign homework before then.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
