I spent the entire semester crying over stats because my intimidatingly brilliant crush was tutoring me on Discord and I felt hopelessly dumb. Last night they shared the wrong screen and I saw their portal: academic probation, retaking THIS exact class for the third time 💀 Am I being pranked or is this an insane confession?! My brain is totally fried.

Breathe: you are not stupid, you are just living inside an accidental rom-com.
Nobody tanks their GPA and repeats Intro to Statistics three whole times for a casual prank. That isn't a joke; that is borderline unhinged devotion disguised as late-night study sessions. While you were spiraling with imposter syndrome thinking you were holding back a campus prodigy, they were sweating bullets desperately trying to stay half a chapter ahead of you just to keep you on the line.
You don’t have an academic inadequacy problem here. You have two dorks paralyzed by mutual panic.
Break the weird tension before one of you genuinely gets kicked out of uni for love. Next time you jump into the voice channel, just say: "So, Professor... want to close the screen share and get coffee, or are we planning to fail this exam together?"
Put both of you out of your misery. And maybe hire an actual tutor for finals.
