Some people just have no chill. During the second last year of my bachelor's my best friend at the time found out he had stage 4 liver cancer and was termial. Rapidly declined in state over the course of a few months and ended up in palliative care. So of course I started dropping the ball, skipped classes and labs and such to chill with the guy cuz he was boutta die. Ofc I was massively depressed about it and was late with assignments. Eventually I ended up in the Dept chair's office and I told him the situation. This man told me to drop out or go on leave if I couldn't handle it. There was no way I was doing either because I didn't want to, I couldn't afford to, and I was completely capable still, just needed some accomodation w.r.t timing tests and assignments, which this guy refused to do. So he told me to submit doctors notes and gtfo. Fast forward a few months I'm in the dean's office getting reamed out for submitting too many doctors notes (4) in one term. So I explained my situation and prev conversation with the chair and there was absolutely zero sympathy to be had. I was to immediately stop with the doctors notes or else face discipline. So that's how I ended up at a funeral with a shitty GPA. My misfortunes didn't end there but neither did the assholes stop being assholes.
