I know I just made a video about school stuff, like, a couple weeks ago

For my Graphic Design History Lecture, we had to make a 3-4 minute video,

summarizing every chapter we covered during this semester.

Now, the thing about a college lecture is that:

listen to the professor talk for, like an hour and a half,

Maybe one time, you'll forget a pencil and have to ask the person sitting in front of you for one,

and now you have some random stranger's pencil.

When the professor dropped in on us that it was a group project, everyone was like;

"Oh god, freakin', now I gotta pretend that I know these hockey pucks."

Basically, everyone just turned around to the closest person around them and was like,

and because I don't want to say their real names, I just Googled

'Most annoying girl names' and Google gave me;

Anyone out there named Reneeesme and Bloodrayne,

I'm sorry, I'm sure you're a wonderful person,

So now I've got Reneeesme and Bloodrayne here in a group with me.

The project was assigned to us in, like beginning of April

We wrote down our contact info and went on with our day.

I was pretty swamped with work at the time,

so I wasn't too concerned with getting started right away.

Two weeks pass and no one would say anything.

At this point, I decided to take initiative and make a group text.

"Hey guys, it's Jaiden from design history.

We should probably start thinking about the project soon.

I didn't get a response, but you know what? it's fine.

I'm sure they've got their own stuff to do.

Another week goes by, and I still haven't heard anything.

We've got a week to do this now, and we've got nothing.

We've got one text in a group chat saying that we should start THINKING

about the project that no one's answered.

I took double initiative and decided to get things going by splitting up the chapters evenly between us.

There were 7 in total, which meant that one of us was gonna have to cover 3

I was nice and gave the 3 chapters to myself.

Then I set up a Google Drive project so we could all work on it without having to physically get together,

Meet up on Friday to record our notes and slides so we'd have the weekend to edit the video for next Monday.

I know, not as creative as it could get, but I wasn't about to go crazy overboard here.

Not too much stress, a bit last minute, but it's all organized, so it's not that bad.

I had a lot of work during the week, but I got my slides and notes done, and was ready to film on Friday.

But Thursday night, I get a text from Reneeesme.

"Hey, so I can't meet up with you guys tomorrow, because I have something going on."

Like this was the start of something REALLY bad.

The little snowball of horribleness that was about to start barreling down the hill of 'f**k you'

and crash right into my little cabin of composure.

"W-What? I mean, we planned this on Monday. You should have told us that it didn't work for you, or something came up.

"I have work from 7am to 10pm Saturday and Sunday."

Before too much time passed, I updated Bloodrayne on the situation.

We came to the conclusion that we could just do audio recording of our notes and edit them on top

of the slides, so Reneeesme could record on her own time.

Alright, back on track. Bit of a bump there, but it's all good now. We've still got a solid plan.

Back when we were still planning everything, we decided as a group to have Reneeesme edit the video.

But I decided: Yeah, no, I do not trust this girl, I'm gonna edit the whole video.

I know, it's not balanced at all with the amount of work I had to do compared to the other girls.

It's better than worrying all weekend about if Reneeesme even knows how to upload a video to the internet.

I get a text Friday morning from Bloodrayne.

"I'm at the library, We're still meeting up right?"

Uh, okay. We don't need to meet up for that, bit I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe she doesn't know how to record audio or something, and she needs help.

So, I head over to the library with my microphone and we get a table in the corner.

"Alright, so just read off your notes into the mic and I'll put them in the video."

She starts reading the most HORRENDOUS notes I have ever heard in my entire being.

When I made my slides in the project, I had terms, vocabulary, and key artists
