My husband’s job primarily employs adult men but there is one (1) teenage girl and my husband said originally he worried she might be a bit of an outcast but instead every man on the crew was like “huh guess I am a dad/older brother now.”
She was in a car crash on the way to work one morning and called my husband to let him know she’d be late and he was like wtf guess I’m gonna be late too because I’m coming to pick you up and then he told his team and they were like I think you mean WE are coming.
Imagine you are a teenage girl probably rushing to get to work and you crash your probably new car and feel absolutely miserable and now you’ll be late to work but then suddenly in the distance a car full of all the adult men you work with just pulls up and is like “we came all the way here to pick you up” the mental image right now is fr.
Apparently she tried to call her dad but it was 3am and he was obviously sleeping so she called my husband and he not only came to find her but fished her glasses out of the hood of the car (she’d dropped them while looking inside), drove her to the hospital, and told her to take the day off. She insisted on coming back to work so he used his lunch break to watch TV with her to make sure she didn’t doze off (concussion risk).
You’ve heard of the Mom friend but my husband is very much the Dad friend. He said when he answered the phone she said “hey please don’t be mad” and he’s never felt such powerful Fatherhood energy in his life.
Girl: *calls for aid*
Every single dad packed into the car:
This is possibly my favorite response to this post
This girls father: Thanks for helping my daughter out guys
please use sparknotes. please use khan academy. please listen to school house rock songs and watch the history of the entire world i guess and tim and moby and bill nye. any documentary you watch in class can be found somewhere online with a quick google. get your books from project gutenberg and z-lib. download textbooks off the internet whenever you can find them. use desmos for a free online graphing calculator. if you’re learning something and you don’t get it look up the wikipedia page on it and put it into simple english to get the gist, then put it back into regular english to get the full story. cheat if you have to. school sucks so bad rn and if you’re like me and you get all your materials secondhand or from the lost and found, online resources are really useful rn; all of the above have helped me pass a class in some way, and i hope they can help you too.
stay inside and stay safe. best of luck to all the students out there.
i used sparknotes for every fucking book i was supposed to read last semester. FUCK this online school garbage, you deserve all the shortcuts you can get
I promise you that as a university student who has done so many university literature courses, if you are smart about paraphrasing and using sparknotes and even wikipedia as a base then rewording/organising your arguments in a smart way using the evidence it points to in the book then you can literally get a high distinction for books you’ve never read. If you’re at a level where you feel comfortable looking at literature journal articles that’s another great place to steal argument ideas if you find some free ones.
YOUTUBE THE CRASHCOURSE SERIES. I CANNOT stress enough how great these are at explaining concepts from SO MANY SUBJECTS. They are accurate, well researched, and interesting but more importantly explained clearly and simply. I literally watch them if I need to refresh my knowledge on a topic for a subject I’m teaching.
Hey I’ve been using Khan Academy since I was in 3rd grade!
It’s a bit boring but it really is helpful and is the reason I have gotten to the level I have in math :)
