appear to be doing well and always posting how much work they’re getting done.

No. No no no no no no. They’re posting for validation for the appearance of how much work they’re doing.

I remember dead ass seeing someone posting pics of them “studying” a flowchart that came with a casebook. It was way too early in the class too have made any sort of sense of what was going on in that chart.

It’s also really cute to post pictures of nearly highlighter pages with multiple colors of highlighters because it looks really impressive on the ‘gram. It’s really mostly a waste of time.

Bottom line: Cut out the social media and watching what everyone else is doing. They’re only showing you what they want you to see. None of that matters when your grade is based on one or two exams.
