Like with many carer type roles, it tends to be a job you burnout pretty quickly on, and I think now that I've hit my two year anniversary of being a mod today it'd be nice to conclude it here. In addition to real world responsibilities, I think I'm probably just worn out now as a mod. Not to mention I'm going to probably follow through my degree with masters and PhD study if all goes well, so I'll just become more and more inundated with psych studies, workload on those modules and will have very little time to spend on here. I know that from now when I get to third year it'll just be even worse on that activity rate likely, and I don't want to be someone who just turns up on a blue moon bc that's not the proper activity level for a moderator. This obviously affects my time a lot since most of it is eaten up by my real world responsibilities and tending to just fall asleep as soon as I get time to myself. Due to the and the increased workload this year, I've been offline more than I have probably ever been on this amino unfortunately, due to honestly trying to do my work as well as family related things, so much so I've gotten really behind in a lot of shows / manga I was reading bar a small few that I'm up to date on. This means I've got to make sure things are on point and show my best efforts at the essay / exam, as to ensure I don't get sub par grades or well, fail. However, it's different in second year, and holds weight towards what I get for the end of my degree with every assignment and exam. In my first year this wasn't too much of an issue because of the fact that most unis don't count your first year grades towards your overall degree grade. I get several assessments over that period in the form of assessed essays and exams at the end of the semester. I'm talking a psychology Bsc, and hence there's always been a lot of topics to cover. I'm just reaching the end of my 1st semester of my second year. One of the biggest factors for this is because of my uni work. Needless to say, I've been here for quite a long time and gotten used to how things work around here and done a lot of moderation through that time period. I'm definitely from way way w a y back when featured posts would get like 70/80 likes and nobody had any game plan here, and I joined half a year abouts after it had been created. I've been a mod for counting today (in my time zone) 2 years exactly now, and 4 days away from 3 years of being on DRA in general. There's quite a few reasons I wanted to talk about over this.
