This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Why can't you take an extra semester or two even? Any institutional or financial barriers to that? If not, don't push past your limits. Nothing but burnout comes from that.

Idk...something about taking more time (even the extra semester I'm taking already) makes me feel like a failure. [Edit: to my family. We come from a poorer background and I'll be the first person to graduate college since my grandma (who herself is an exception). Ergo I feel spoiled or entitled asking for another year]

I'll think about it. Obviously I don't have to decide everything now, and I can try taking one semester of 16 credits and see how I feel.

I think it's more like I just know it's physically possible. Like, i know there's people who have gotten their degree in even less than 4 years. If they can do that why can't I do this?

People who finish quickly are most likely from privileged backgrounds and don't have to work. The only plus side of my working during college was that I had a long bus trip when I could read. But I still pushed myself, failed a semester, and ended up graduating in 5 years anyway.

We all need to take time for ourselves to rest, recharge, and have fun. Hustle culture is toxic.
