Guilt-tripping students into burnout? Ah yes, just what they need
Makes a rant about someone being a disappointment
Doesn’t spell disappointment correctly
Who gave the business major a marker?
It just says mental health room. It doesn't say it's good mental health.
Legit lol
Milk came out of my nose... Which was weird because I was drinking diet pepsi
That's brain cum.
Source: I have a MSc in Neuroscience
That is harassment.
I think it literally is, meaning, that that is not written by staff and/or authorised by the Organisation.
Don't wake up to be fucking Average
Spoken like a true Average
Me, waking up to be below average: "Good morning! 😃"
A business major wrote that. Their dream career is either a Crypto Life Coach, or a LinkedIn Recruiter.
Crypto Life Coaches ought to be more chill. Dollar cost averaging beats most active strategies and you get to sleep in.
Your University is a joke if any staff member approved of that.
It's just a room you walk into, I doubt anyone really monitors it too much
Fuck all that
I would walk up and erase that shit
Just erase a couple of words.
Don't wake up. Be fucking average.
If you're sacrificing everything for your studies, you don't deserve success.
ass up ok
Wake up.
Be fucking everything.
You deserve ass, OK?
Wake up Fucking your ass

I'm so sad he's writing real books now. I'm happy for his success, but it's the end of a golden age of literature 😭
Just draw a huge cock and balls. It would be a marked improvement.
Oh that's an inspo poster who's gonna spend their entire 20's 30's and 40's on coke
Girl if they make enough to fund a 3-decade-long cocke addiction then maybe I should listen to them 😭
I'm okay with being a disappointment to whatever asshole wrote that.
Well, looks like it scored -421 points at the bottom there anyway
My ancestors are proud of me, because I know how to spell "disappointment", and have never written a misspelled word in black marker whilst trying to condescend to people I should be supporting.
I, too, am proud of you.
Aw thanks 🥹
The mental health room was visited by someone with mental problems.
I sacrificed a lot for my studies. Was it worth it, and did I achieve success? Nope. Life is complicated.
Mental Health, manfluencer edition
I mean there was another white board that said"id rather have a headache from studying than a man" sooooo
Life is a marathon.
You can treat it like every day is a sprint, but eventually you’re going to break down.
Take the pace that keeps you going, take breaks, walk if you need to.
When we’re all dead the only question that will have mattered was whether you were happy and not if you met some arbitrary bar in another persons head.
Nobody’s obituary reads “known and beloved for increasing shareholder profits.”
Not tough enough for a true wakeup call. Wipe it all off, and replace with:
I was academically dismissed from college four time and have a university studies degree and a 2.0 GPA. I now have a 6 figure salary. You degree is only a peace of paper, don't sacrifice your heath for a peace of paper.
As a counterpoint, your salary is mainly a reflection on how much profit can be made by your skillset/location at a given point in time. I'm not a fan of tying people's worth to their profitability. It's devoid of any type of ethical concern.
If we as a society tie profitability to societal good, then I'll be on board.
Someone is going through some shit.
Mental health room, more like Emotional Damage room.
Maybe there was a group therapy and the exercise was writing the monologue they wake up to down...? Then they of course reflected together why those were not useful messages and they learnt better ways to address their worries. (Let me dream).

University should break you to a certain degree, but it shouldn't shatter you or destroy you. It's like training for a marathon, if you just do sprints to failure every day you won't ever run a marathon you'll just get hurt. No you've got to slowly ramp up and take your rest days.
