Medium

I’m QUITTING Medium

And announcing my flouncing

After all, no one ever just quietly leaves, do they? Not without writing a meta piece on how Medium is too meta these days, or complaining that they’re being discriminated against by the “algo” (lord, how I hate that word and all who use it with a passion that burns right through to hell itself).

Jokes aside, I’m not actually leaving for good. I’m just experiencing some LIFE™ right now, namely having four assignments worth a combined 70% of my grade for the year due in the next month.

I’m mystified how the handful of people on my course who are studying full time alongside working full time manage it. I’m really struggling to fit in the 18 hours of study a week that a part-time degree requires with 37 weekly hours of paid employment, alongside occasionally remembering to eat. And that’s mainly courtesy of my boyfriend, who does approximately 90% of all household chores at the moment, while I rock back and forth, gently sobbing.

Something’s got to give, and if it’s not going to be my sanity, it has to be everything that isn’t working or studying. No Medium, no social life, no nothing. Not until June, when I am relieved of my torment for three months over the summer holidays.

Oh well, only five more years of this degree to go…..

Anyway, couldn’t pass up the opportunity to poke fun at the amateur dramatics that play out on this site when someone decides to jack it all in to go write for Simily or whatever.

See you on the other side!
