@KeruboSk “That grind built resilience and resourcefulness—skills that go far beyond just the grades.”
English

@KeruboSk Millennials primarily raised by boomers, like their parents are generally very entitled and fell for all the propaganda that has eroded the identity of America.
English

BWAHAHAHAHA!
Gen X pulled off those monster research papers with zero internet. Picture this: a towering stack of library books on the desk, three more splayed open on the bed like casualties of war.
No computers for most of us. Meaning the final draft was either painstakingly handwritten or hammered out on a typewriter (with White-Out as our only undo button). Spell-check? That was us flipping through a massive Webster’s dictionary like it owed us money.
No autosave. No save at all. Lose that paper? Spill coffee on it? Drop it in a puddle? Tough luck! Start the whole damn thing over from page one.
Sure, Gen Z has it easier today with AI, Google, and endless digital shortcuts. But let's be real: you had it infinitely easier than we did.
We were out here forging term papers in the analog fires 🔥

@KeruboSk Yes, but we had Google - respect to the generation before search engines doing the exact same thing you mentioned.

@KeruboSk I remembered one night around 11pm I had an essay due at midnight…
never wrote 5 pages of completely average work so fast in my life 😂
English

@KeruboSk Gen X went to a Cheap Trick concert that night and washed down No-Doze with Jack Daniels then cranked out the essay and a Chem lab before breakfast.

Girl, you never had to search for books using the Dewey decimal system, check out the books, no photocopies, hand write the report, with handwritten legends / graphs, go through National Geographic Magazine to hopefully find a picture that matches your report. And, we didn’t drink coffee or energy drinks.
English

@KeruboSk I wrote both of my university applications night of the submission deadline. Cranked them out in one sitting.
English

@KeruboSk @MrsJellySantos GenX and Boomers had the same assignments. We had to do it on a typewriter or by hand, no word processor.
English

@KeruboSk @thehistoriann Eh hem….my 1995 25 page Spanish literature paper on an electric typewriter and gen 𝕏 would like a word….
English

@KeruboSk @Alexis_of_Hales I think a lot of you underestimate how much of Gen Z also does this. It’s weird being born in 97 because im technically Gen Z but I understand millennials that aren’t older millennials very well. Also anyone who’s like 23-29 also had those days.
English

@KeruboSk Millennials didn't have a choice
Now kids have AI and still procrastinate
So the excuse isn't the lack of tools
It's the lack of the ability to sit with discomfort
That 12-page essay at midnight? That taught you something ChatGPT never will
English

@KeruboSk Uh, Gen X did that ... but mostly without computers.
English

@KeruboSk 100%
only cheat code we used was increasing the font size on periods to lengthen the document a smidge
