know what I hate? how uni’s have all of these “de-stress events” and preaching about mental health around exams but don’t actual want to fucking do anything about the shitty system of education they’ve created that literally makes kids have anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts. yes education should be challenging, but it should not compromise your wellbeing for it. it’s like saying “yeah we realize the system is horrible, but here have free hot chocolate, it’ll make everything better”. the education system is flawed and broken and they know it, but they could care less. 

From what I’ve observed at uni the people running the de-stress events tend to be other students/student organizations, not the administration who are the ones with the ability to change the system.  The administration doesn’t care.  And they barely help the students de-stress.  We do it ourselves.  For each other.  De-stress events are at least something we can do for each other.
