It’s 2016 and group assignments are still a thing, can you believe it? In this day and age, of freedom, of democracy, of #justiceforharambe, we’re still forcibly divided into small groups of clashing personalities and expected to work together on a project that nobody cares about simply because it’s prefixed with the word “group.” The content could be fascinating, the people could be okay, but it doesn’t matter, and it never will. Because group assignments suck. They suck so hard.
1. When the teacher says you’re going to be doing a group assignment
2. “I’m going to randomly assign groups”
3. When you realise you’ve got someone who clearly wants to do all the work themselves
4. When you realise you’re going to have to be that person
5. “Can you meet on [a day you don’t already have uni]?”
6. That person who never does anything
7. That person who won’t shut up but has terrible ideas
8. That person who says “I’ll make the Facebook group”
9. And then never does anything else
10. When it’s the night before and no one’s sent you anything
11. But they all say they’ve done it
12. Then you finally get all their work at like midnight
13. And you have to be up all night doing it
14. When you’re presenting it and it’s just a giant mess
15. But you get a distinction anyway
16. The feeling when you can delete the Facebook group from your feed
17. And when you go to your next class and they tell you you’ve got a group assignment
