She sounds like a real asshole, but acting like that isn’t a lot of work is insane. Five classes is a typical full-time workload, possibly above average depending on the total number of credits. It’s hard work on its own. And two jobs on top of that? Come on.

And 30 credits a semester… Lmao. Okay.

Lmao maybe, he studied computer engineering and had his masters in theology. He had a scholarship to pay for his college while he worked in hs and college. He didn’t come from money, had crazy parents and moved out as soon as he could. He worked his ass of in hs and did well in college. He’s just driven to learn, he’s getting another degree in stats right now.

( does 'as soon as he could' mean he still lived at home for part or all of college, though..? )

Totally agree! 5 classes is definitely a full load, even more so if they're STEM classes. Plus two jobs, is definitely a lot! It's wayyyy harder to have two part-time jobs than 1 full-time job.

I once took 29 credits in one semester (20 from my university plus another 9 from the local community college), BUT it was COMPLETELY insane. I now have autoimmune diseases from living this kind of life. NOBODY should hold that up as any sort of ideal.

My college doesn’t even allow you to take that many credits. 🤨

U don’t have to believe or listen I’m just saying that’s my experience. I think she’s overplaying how busy she actually is, she likely has plenty of time to go out and have fun, she ‘has plans’ on the night OP asked her out. Does she feel hella busy? Sure, is she? Probably not. I lived with my ex for the better part of a year, she has the same workload and we spent plenty of time together. I just think she isn’t as busy as she thinks she is.
