Group projects where one person does all the work (you).
GROUP PROJECTS WHERE ONE PERSON DOES ALL THE WORK (YOU).
Follow for more relatable Ivy insights!
That familiar sinking feeling when the professor announces the final group project. You look around, maybe offering a hopeful smile, thinking this time it will be different. This time, everyone will pull their weight. You establish roles, set deadlines, and feel a momentary flicker of optimism. Then, the silence. The unanswered emails. The half-hearted contributions that are more work to fix than to rewrite from scratch. Suddenly, it’s 3 AM, the library lights are harsh, and you’re staring at a blank slide, realizing the entire presentation, the research, the analysis – it's all on you. You could complain, you could push back, but the unspoken truth is, the grade matters too much. Your reputation, your GPA, the sheer perfectionist drive instilled in us here – it compels you to just get it done, impeccably. It’s a silent, shared understanding among us, isn't it? That unique brand of academic pressure where you silently adopt the roles of researcher, writer, editor, and project manager, all for a collective grade. You deliver a flawless presentation, receive the shared praise, and inside, you know the true cost. It’s a badge of honor, or maybe just a deeply relatable sigh. We've all been there, carrying the weight.
