I feel a perpetual deep-seated alienation from most people in academia because everyone behaves like cops and hall monitors, and then I log onto tumblr to see the exact people who do the alienating posting about how emotionally difficult it is for them to report students for (possibly) using AI to write an assignment  

i used to know someone who had actually worked extensively on the Hanford nuclear site cleanup, and she once told me she would feel perfectly safe driving right next to a nuclear fuel transport truck, but when she sees a tanker truck she avoids it like the plague, because they got to see the difference in first-hand demonstrations and it was terrifying.

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.
