    Tell me you haven’t reviewed classmates’ papers without telling me you haven’t reviewed classmates’ papers.

    Some of the papers I’ve read from my classmates make me wonder how they got out of high school, let alone into university or (!!) medical school. There are a lot of people who cannot write decently to save their lives that are still somehow in academia.

      This is me. Writing gave me so much anxiety in HS and I really should have started keeping a journal or something but I didn’t. I devoured books as a kid but still I struggled with putting ideas on paper. Once got so upset at a boyscout event where I had to write an essay for a merit badge that I threw up.

      I can write a comment or even effort-post just fine, and I can type 100 wpm, it’s just something about structured writing that makes me feel Ill.
