Okay, I'm gonna dance around this a bit because I'm afraid of accidentally spoiling it to people who may follow my story.

I'm writing a story that pans over several years. This is the final installation in the main timeline takes place quite a bit in the future. For context, this story has a ton of worlds. I bring this up because one of the protagonists is a leader and one of the first chapters/conflict in the second slightly has to do with political structures.

My question is, if I mention potential wars/conflicts/etc they've been in the past or political strife with other worlds, will this set up the audience to think it'll pivot to a war story? I may just cut this if so. My main reason for thinking of it is showing how the world is intersecting + it foreshadows the actual main conflict, which spans multiple worlds, and it does have some bits in the second chapter's conflict, but not enough to be utterly story breaking if it was removed.

Is there a way to subtly mention it? Honestly I think I need to give it more time to ponder upon it...

(Used sensitive content tag because it told me to)

Honest to god I've shot myself in the foot here. I'm struggling to claw my way back into understanding my math work, can barely keep my head up in orgo chem... All of that. I'm good at bio classes but all I want to be is done. I struggle to focus in my classes, to stay present, and it just hurts me and pisses me off.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to remedy this. I got better for a week or two and then bam, spring break fucked me up. How the hell is it easier to go to my job??? I hate my job but at least I get paid and when I go home, I'm done. No extra work needed. I feel I'm burning money, here. I pass and scrape by.

I kind of want to take a gap semester or something but at the same time I feel I'd just screw myself over at that point. I'm so tired of these classes. I just want to be done and get a career in my field. I don't want to be in chemistry classes, or computer science or physics. I just want to be DONE. I'm not even a senior and I'm suffering extreme senioritis.
