My Essay Partner and I just fought

So, we're writing a paper on Guatemalan refugees. My partner is like 15 years older than me, so she thinks she has all this seniority. But get this, her grammar is horrible, she has the vocabulary of an elementary student, and her writing is redundant. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but she had the easy parts and finished in like a day or two. HOWEVER, I had to edit almost all of it, because although her research was good, it was written so badly. 
 

I thought after i finished editing, we would be done and I could start my part, but she's such a . She started to about me starting late and I said it's only 2.5 pages, i can finish it tonight. But she had the nerve to say that she expects it. She says she has to put it into APA, but i can put my own into APA. And it was just a back and forth of her trying to be in charge and me telling her to relax and get off my back.

Omg I had smth like this last semester too! It was a group paper and every person in the group was assigned 4 pages each and this lady is like 40 and the rest of us 19 and 20 and I was the team leader so I had to make sure everyone was doing their parts and all and when it came to this lady she tried to boss me around and lectured me as if she was my mom! Her grammar wasn’t good either but she tried to correct everyone else’s stuff and it didn’t make sense so I had to go back and fix everything. And whenever I made chnages to her part to make it flow she would undo all the changes I made back to her original stuff. And then she had the NERVE to ask me after our stuff was graded why her part received a lower grade and it was bc of grammar and flow and she told me I should’ve helped her! When I did and she undid everything I fixed bc she didn’t want me touching her work!

Ohhh is she for real? It made me mad thinking that you have to respect her first just because she is a whole 15 years older than you! It's okay do your part and don't mind her, she will just make you even more angry than you already are and it's not good for you 😒

i relate to this god,, these kind of ppl are so hard to work with to the point the lazy ones are better since at least they shut up and let you do the work without nitpicking anything :/ Stay sane bb, she's just one of the many irritating people placed as obstacles for one to reach their goal.

I can totally relate with you Angel. Some people really... irritating. They cant accept the criticsm and always put the blame on others. Not to mention, they always have excuses. Just do your part and what you think is necessary for your research and ignore her.

Take a breather and relax your mind authornim. Getting affected by it will not help you both. Think of the grade and the reality its a group work. If your groupmate cannot appreciate time and the gravity of the situation then take a lesson from this grouping.
