Asking for notes can force friendship

Today we are going to talk about a topic that seems to be a custom among students: note loans.

We know that asking your partner for notes is the most normal thing in the world, we have always asked for them and they have asked us: Leave me that topic you summarized!, Pass what you copied the day we weren't there!, What a rule that work so hard to copy it whole!… Sounds familiar?

But we have already passed the mere time of the College, the Institute, and even the University ... We are in another phase. The oppositions. And here the situation changes, well remember that now any teammate is your greatest rival.

We all compete for a place leading to a better working life. Sometimes we literally speak of a single square. In such circumstances, is morally clear: The one who works the most, let him, It is not like this?

And suddenly your "colleague" comes right off the bat and tells you to pass on your summaries, that the day of the exam is approaching, and he does not have time to read the book ... What a commitment! To do? With the work you've gotten yourself into! Will the good vibes between you end if you say no? What if you say yes? Is it fair to yourself? It can take away your official position because your summaries are very good ...

This situation occurs between all opponents, and always puts the worker between a rock and a hard place. That is why I write this article, to from here slow down your feet to mug who is about to approach his partner:

Dear recipient of foreign student material: I understand your problem, you need help and you decide to turn to the "buddy" who doesn't know how to say no ... But you have to think fairly, and know how to measure between what is a favor and the abuse of friendship. There are more options to get those notes, what happens is that you have to pay a cheap price for them. Don't you think it is well worth spending a few savings so as not to annoy a friend so much?

There are countless forums where the sale is announced of syllabi, summaries, teaching schedules, tests ... We opponents cannot complain about that, everything is sold! So we can avoid forcing a friendship and look like gentlemen.

Although good, there is always an open door to make pacts between friends; today for you tomorrow for me… But that is another issue, referring to friends who fight together and decide to share their work.

    We would enter what psychologists call assertiveness, being respected, knowing how to say no. It would be to enforce the rights of each one without reaching the aggressive point of view, but without remaining passive and letting everyone pass over you.

    Even in the college / institute / university where the competition is not so clear (in some way I would say that it is always implicit, because teachers always take the class average into account when deciding whether a 5 scratch becomes approved or failed), should differentiate between friend, colleague or partner. And, logically, whoever does not work hard and the day comes before in a hurry, no matter how friendly he is, does not deserve to take all the fruit of your work.

    Interesting topic 🙂 I loved reading you

    The truth is that sometimes it is difficult to have that left hand, right? But we must assert ourselves and that the smart guy does not abuse our work. Thanks as always for your contributions. A hug!

    Ugh, and so much that it is difficult ... but you have to try. The opposition is like a training to daily life, surely there we will also find similar situations 🙂
    Because of you

    In terms of exams, I consider that I am competing with another person to get a place that will feed me. If I make some good notes, seeing information on my own, contrasting information to separate the unreliable, completing diagrams, trying to reason, etc. And I get the typical shift ready who asks me for my summaries and diagrams because he has not given the desire to give work to his brain to do the same, sorry, but no. We are not at school, where the friend missed class because he was sick, because he made balls, etc. We are old enough to stop taking advantage of others. And the worst thing is that they come with him: today for me, and tomorrow for you. And it becomes a reality: today for me and tomorrow for me, and next month for me, because I totally don't know you at all and I don't care to take advantage of myself, and if you don't have something, I don't give you anything because I have nothing, since I happened to make my notes.
