I wish I’d thought it through more. At the time, I thought I was gonna get useful accommodations. Turns out all my college really offers is extra time on exams, which I don’t need

Idk. Most of the stuff I struggle with doesn’t really have a cut and dry solution, so I’m not sure what I thought was gonna happen
