Omg my parents and my maternal grandma was like: (about my older brother’s marriage thing) “You have to see out more options (in the same timeframe) in case your first match fails” or something…

Marriage is like College to them, and their “searching for ‘candidates for marriage’” is like looking at colleges (or perhaps a college processing applications), looking at the person’s profiles, education level, wealth, looks, intelligence, occupation, etc…

So weird to be in the sphere of all this lol…

They be so busy mom doesn’t even really wanna talk to me…

(What the hell is life? Is this what being a human is? Be born, cant do anything for 6 years, then go through 8 hours of school every day till 18, then college, then work, marriage, taxes, children, then onto the graveyard. Yayyy.

Pls get me out of this simulation, I’m so bored and tired… 😩

Sorry I got another existential crisis…)

    The trick to those is to appear as lazy and careless as possible, so your project partners will fear a failing grade and do all the work before the deadline instead of hoping that you will do it and everyone fails because no work was done. Not sure how this advice translates to the other side of the analogy though
