Review on Model Student
Went into this honestly expecting a lot. I had seen it on TikTok and wanted to try it out. I was really disappointed when I listened to some episodes. Very bland and the narrator is really trying to be different from those trying to be “aesthetic” but by doing this she is fitting in with them. In one of the episodes I listened to she talked a lot about not doing what people do on TikTok and I honestly just hated this. Why are you trying so hard? You want to be different from them so badly it coming back at you.
