I rent a house with family and work fully remote. My family member seems to think I can stop working to do chores, dishes, clean, run errands, cook, etc.

No, dude. It is still a job - I have meetings, deadlines, team members to assist, etc. and I am NOT stepping away from it during my work hours. I am just as tired as you are believe it or not from my work week.

I'm living with them while finishing grad school but will def move states after I'm done. Can't wait to have my own place again

I'm in a pretty good MBA program for people that work while earning their degrees. Some courses allow for people from other programs to join, I've even seen some undergrads checking out classes.

AI is wrecking the creative thinking, critical analysis, and effort of work completed by my cohort. It has eradicated integrity, academic honesty, and what it means to earn an A in a course.

My new tactic for all case studies and group projects has been to let the AI abusers (most of my cohort at this point) use their corner cutting ways on projects and let them fail in presentations and discussions. I used to try to correct them or point out where their AI is wrong but when they all admitted to cheating on EVERY exam I said screw this.

The ones who are obsessed with earning an A but want to put zero effort into learning class concepts, assignments, etc. are my favorite to set up for failure (getting a B or C causes them to freak out lol).

I got straight As in undergrad(before AI/Covid) and my career is already set up so for me this program supplements my success and grades are secondary.

AI is a tool that should be used to supplement your knowledge with insights, do the entry-level/time consuming portions of a project, and be held accountable for it's outputs. Using it for everything only sets you up for failure, literally if you're paired with me :)

As I was transitioning from my late 20s to my 30s a lot in my life felt shaky. I was transitioning jobs, moving back in with family, severely depressed, and having a lot of frustration with trying to navigate the dating scene, coping with heart break, my finances were bad, etc. It's cliche to say it but I was at rock bottom. Numb to life.

The biggest difference came from quitting the modern dating scene. Spending less energy on negativity from dating failures and having more time to work on what matters - learning to love myself. I've been able to cure my depression, reduce my anxiety, climb significantly in the company I work for, got into my dream grad program, and find stability in life. Now my biggest decision is whether I want to continue forsaking dating and enjoying what I have in life or look to settle down and meet someone to start a family. I have a couple years to make up my mind (after I graduate) and I'm going to jellyfish on it until then.

If you're in the boat I used to be in, take this post as a message that says it's okay to step away from the things in life bringing you down. Focus on yourself. Be selfish about your happiness.
