Study Group Status: Academic Achievement Questionable

Sophie announced she was having a “serious study group” today and needed the living room for “collaborative learning.”

Study Group Status: Academic Achievement Questionable

I was expecting highlighters and flash cards. What I got was three teenage girls who have cracked the code on multitasking: they can completely ignore their AP History textbooks while simultaneously solving every social crisis in their friend group.

I’ve been eavesdropping from the kitchen (don’t judge me, it’s my house) and so far they’ve covered: who’s dating who, the drama from lunch yesterday, whether Emma should text that boy back, and a detailed analysis of their teacher’s new haircut.

The exact moment the tea was spilled

The conspiracy-level whispering that happened around 3 PM had me genuinely concerned until I realized they were just discussing prom dress colors.

Critical research happening here

They’ve moved on to sharing TikToks, which apparently counts as “research” for their social studies project. Sophie’s confident they’ll “totally get to the actual studying part” but considering they’ve been here for two hours and haven’t opened a single book… I’m thinking this is less study group, more therapy session with snacks. Which honestly? Probably more valuable than whatever’s in that textbook anyway.
