I have diagnosed ADHD, so I clean my school binders about once a year. It’s my last day of school for this year today, decided to throw it all out, and was met with this horrendous amalgamation of tree pulp. Because the thousands we pay to DataHoover Google yearly for “laptops” and ransomware cloud storage means absolutely nothing. Can’t fucking wait to graduate.

    I have ADHD and autism and I never were able to finish school. Got diagnosed when I was 27.great you’re doing well, good luck with graduation! A diploma is so important, sadly.

      Thanks! Grad’s a bit away, but I’m making it work. Lots of bare-minimum and hands-on classes in next year’s schedule, and lots of barely-passing grades. Sucks to hear you didn’t graduate, but sounds like you made it work.

        Weeeeelllllll… I joined the navy, served for 15 years, left with PTSD, now enjoying my disability pension. I get more than enough money every month, have way too little to do though. Life is boring. My brain needs distraction and think work otherwise it’s driving me crazy. But I’m getting better :)

        But just to motivate you: no diploma and you will be working boring jobs where you won’t take pleasure out of, surrounded by people you can’t connect to, feeling stuck by the system. Or at least, that’s my experience. Always undervalued, always tasked to do the shitty jobs, never taken serious.

        So that stupid piece of paper actually means a lot. Go get it!
