My toxic entitled classmate tries to pass off my hard work as his own during our group project,

all while I'm recovering in the emergency room. So I decided to get some revenge by not only

ensuring that my professor was aware of everything going on, but also making sure that he

couldn't take credit for anything that I worked on. Here's what happened. So this happened a few

semesters ago where I was taking a

course in urban design. Everyone was grouped in threes, but one of my group members wanted to join

another group with their friend. So I ended up with one other person. I'm not sure why the professor

thought this was okay, but I wasn't too worried because I was fairly confident in my ability

to do the work. The course incorporated previous studio courses to tie together in a massive topic of urban

planning, which included architectural design, environmental sustainability, urban infrastructure,

and historic preservation.

I tried to brainstorm with my partner on which direction we should go.

My idea was focused on residents,

as housing would address a huge demand here in New York City. However, my partner seemed content

on making the project about industrial buildings, so I just focused there. We brainstormed

on different ideas, but got the impression that he just wanted me to take the lead, as he mostly

agreed while not really giving much input.

Well, weeks went by, and I constantly updated my partner on my progress via WhatsApp, while

rarely getting any kind of feedback or updates from him. It annoyed me a bit, but I was still

confident in my work, which was enough to get us through the next checkpoint during our next

presentation. Well, at some point

during the semester, I got a really terrible kidney stone. It wasn't from junk food or a poor diet.
