:laughing: Storytime: The Weirdest DM Iā€™ve Ever Got From a Group Project Teammate

We were supposed to finish our final group essay that night. Out of nowhere, this guy DMs me:

ā€œHey, I just got hired by a traveling circus as a fire juggler. Wonā€™t have Wi-Fi for a while. Can you handle my section?ā€

I thought it was a joke. Then he sends a selfieā€¦ in full circus costumeā€¦ standing next to what looked like a llama.

Needless to say, his part of the essay somehow became my responsibility.

Group projects really do reveal the most random life stories.

:skull: Bro turned the group project into a side quest. Respect the hustle, I guess.

Bro got hired by a whole circus and still finessed the grade :skull: academia is wild.

Bruh thatā€™s clown behavior literally and metaphorically :joy:

Bro WHAT :sob:

My wildest group-project excuse was someone saying their cat stepped on the keyboard and ā€œdeleted the whole essay.ā€

But getting replaced by a circus fire juggler with a llama?? Thatā€™s a new level of academic disappearance.

Group project DM summary:

Day 1: ā€œHey guys letā€™s divide the workā€

Day 2: radio silence

Day 3: someone drops a completely unrelated TikTok and disappears

Day 4: panic mode, suddenly everyone types at 200 words per minute

Last year we had to submit a group report for Sociology. Everything was smooth until the final weekend, when one guy in our group suddenly vanished. No replies, no edits, nothing.

On Sunday evening he finally reappeared with a message saying he had ā€œgone camping to clear his mindā€ and forgot his laptop charger. Meanwhile the rest of us had basically rewritten his entire section.
