i am seriously sunburned by today’s school dragonboating like it has been years since i got burnt but i did and i’m happy but in pain 👍🏻👍🏻

before anyone attacks me on this bHAHAHAHA i knw i said tht sub counts don't matter before but IT IS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE THIS LARGE GROUP OF PPLE ACTUALLY READING WHAT I AM TYPING and WOW tht feeling is MMM yums
OK BUT i still wna say tht SUB COUNTS DONT MATTER its the efforts tht you put into your channel tht matters! if pple dont like thn they js wont sub! don't force people to sub to your channel or whatsoever and also dont feel too bad about it if people leave!! you still have your other subbies out there for you!! <33

i thought i would raise this topic because it’s actually q important for a lot of study channels.

now, i’m really happy that you guys rant to us and ask for advice, and feel free to keep doing so!! you are more than welcome to, so after reading this, don’t be scared to continue doing it, i just wanted to say my views.

———

now, some of you know that a lot of us study channel admins; memo, jay&theo, zx, khad, me, etc. are taking our Os this year. this means that we are really pressured and stressed about exams and things, so we may not have time to reply to all your tells and messages, dms, etc often, but we try to answer them as frequently as we can.

but some of you don’t know that, and keep pressuring cus to send and answer things, and expect us to reply to messages as quickly as we can.

i’m sorry but we don’t have a lot of time, as we are preparing for orals right now and EAE and DSA interviews and trials are literally right now and throughout the next month.

DONT GET ME WRONG, im really happy that i get to give you all advice and be your pillar of support, but dm-ing us to reply to you and answer your messages everytime is really a bit too far.

a lot of us have different schedules, which most are packed with studies and late school dismissal times like at 4-5pm.

sending tips and other content takes a lot of time and we want you give you the best quality answers and advice we can.

don’t get me wrong, like i said, you are more than welcome to send tells.

but remember that we all have different timetables and schedules everyday, and if we are busy, please don’t pressure us and dm-ing us SPECIFICALLY to actually answer.


IM SORRY IF I SOUND REALLY AGGRESSIVE, but i had to raise this topic up because it had been bugging me a lot.

thank you for your understanding, and GUYS, I STILL LOVE YALL

oh and one more (sorry)

now, i know some of you all joined different study channels, and you get annoyed at us for forwarding the same thing like 6 times.

but we have to cater to our own audiences and students, so i apologise in advance for the spams in not only my channel, but others.

do expect to see forwarded messages that would circulate between the SG study channels.

we are trying to help you ask best as we can, to which we try to cater to anyone and everyone by giving the best quality answers for not only studies, but also mental and physical welfare.

we truly care about all of you all, and we want the the best for you guys 🤍🤍

I HAD A SPELLING MISTAKE IM SORRY

don’t you think it’s been a long time since i had a lesson episode?

WHAT SUBJECTS DO YOU WANT?

ps. i’m taking today off because i am EXHAUSTED but slay haven’t gotten a break in so long

i actually have my own input on this, but i don't feel very well enough to be able to put my 2 cents in heh

but by the time you see it got taken down, i'd probably have voiced my opinions out!

in summary: yes, it's totally okay to ask and send me questions. in fact, i love interacting with each and every one of you! but, please don't take me for granted! this applies to every other study channel admin ^^ have a good night 🫶🏻

good morning everyone!! i’m gonna go to the library to study today because i can’t focus at home :))

let’s have a productive day today!!

good morning everyone!

i've mentioned NUMEROUS times that i don't answer all tells, either because i'm not ready to answer, i think it's too personal or it's just a hate tell

when i'm not ready to answer, it means that i haven't done enough research, haven't had the time to type everything out, feel that i'm not the best person to ask input from and whatnot because i don't want to give people the wrong advice, seem ignorant or say something inaccurate!

i don't really find answering hate tells benefitting.. i mean, what are the subscribers gonna do? what am i going to do? there's no need to show much attention to haters anyway – best thing to do is to keep quiet and improve on myself :]

i encourage everyone to rant and vent on me through my bot or tellonym as an outlet because i understand how it's like to keep quiet despite all the destruction in our heads – and i'll definitely try my best to reply too! it takes me some time to learn about the situation properly, find appropriate approaches and solutions AS WELL AS comforting the sender ^^ so, i'll say it again, please feel free to keep on dumping your feelings, thoughts or whatever if you need it – i'll always be there for you

on another note, i noticed the types of tells that kenz receive! i'm sure she's delighted and appreciate that her subs trust her enough to ask her for her advice or opinions on certain matters. with all due respect, may i remind everyone she's only 16 and taking her o's this year? she may be willing and nice enough to reply asap but we have no idea how much this drains her – not to say that you shouldn't send anymore but rather, please keep in mind that we're actually just kids too, PLUS we have our own set of mental health issues.

once again, i'm only a student (17) and i'm not a professional. i greatly appreciate everyone's trust and support in me, i really do! i can't put together enough words to express how i feel about it; i'm deeply heartened by all of you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

thank you so much if you've read from the start till the end! i wish everyone the best of endeavours ╰(*´︶`*)╯

again, i apologise in advance if i don’t answer tells immediately, but you guys sending your rants and problems really makes me feel better and i am more than willing to help you!!

but i may not have time to reply to you immediately and might take hours, days or sometimes a whole week because of studies.

i appreciate all of y’all, and i hope this doesn’t change the fact that my tell is open :)

i may be 16 only, but i’m willing to share my views and opinions and what i think is right for all of you all, and i can also use this chance to learn what different people are gg through

memo isn’t very well rn, to which she is currently resting so that she can get well soon and give you all nice long ass paras that she specializes in. so if she takes a long time to answer, just know that she saw your tell and is probably thinking of the best ways to answer them while getting well :)

memo is keeping everything pg whereas me on the other hand-

oops

MEMO AND I SEND OUR LOVE TO YOU ANON!! 🤍🤍 WHY ARE YOU TO CUTE I WANT TO HUG YOU NOW

i’ll send the tells i answered later, mainly because i’m using data and hotspotting like 2 devices in the library

so i sat through a whole 2 hours of tutorial, and left to get smth so my phone hotspot disconnected.

I DIDNT SAVE MY DOCUMENT I WAS WRITING MY NOTES ON SO NOW A WHOLE 2 HOUR TUTORIAL WORTH OF NOTES ARE GONE.
