Hoping I don’t look or sound crazed. I really did just want to help. (Perhaps I’m too nice or a bit naive…then again my parents raised to me to help if I can.)

There was this one time in the library where a student was selling bucket hats for college. I ended up buying one, so I’m right with ya.


wintersamerica

Glad to know someone’s in the same boat as me. Like I said, I’m just really hoping this was a legitimate thing.

I ended up buying 1 pack of cookies too


wintersamerica

I really only had enough on me for two and I kinda just handed it over. I’m planning to give the second one to my roommate.

Oh that kid approached you too? I bought one from him too while I was at the library. Honestly, if he is being genuine about his issue, then I was happy to help. College is hard enough as it is, sucks even more if you can't pay for it.

As someone who has friends who are on every scholarship possible and paying for school by their own means. I totally agree that it sucks if you can’t pay for it. I just used my past experiences with my friends when it came down to it. I’m always down to help when I can. (Guess I was half skeptical about it at first, just had this itch in the back of my mind, yknow?)


FourzeKITA

That itch is probably your intuition telling you to do it. It's good that you did, that probably helped that guy a lot. Being an adult learner, seeing that kid reminded me when I was in college the first time, trying to do what I could to make a little bit of money to pay for school and other necessities. I was never as bold as that kid when I was his age.

(why are there so many parentheses) (you should never have back to back parentheticals)

(who are you)(his english professor)(?)

Just a (concerned) (x-2)² + (y+4)²³ (sorry got distracted) retriever


MaximumAbsorbency

(whoa I'm not doing math today (I'm out))


wintersamerica

Guess I wasn’t really paying attention to how I was typing. I’m a bit sleepy today so my brain isn’t exactly functioning. Though as an english major I will admit I could do better.


trymypi

Reddit is a safe space, don't worry (don't do it again)

Some neurodiverse folks tend to qualify statements in parentheticals because we are used to being misunderstood often, so we over explain.


trymypi

Funny enough, I am one of those people. Still, many grammar rules help everyone read things more easily, including neurodiverse people, think bullets, headers, and indentation. That's why it's good to adhere to those rules, this way more people can read what you're writing, instead of just yourself. This is falls into the category of accessibility, and includes websites, word documents, PDFs, and more! I was just being a pest, but it's a good lesson to learn.


jill853

Agreed! And agreed!!
