punk academia is:
coming to class gripping your coffee or energy drink as if it were your lifeline
letting anyone copy your notes if they ask, but keeping the messiest notes ever (despite trying to keep them neat)
raising your hand and correcting the teacher/professor when they fuck up during a lecture
sharing your marked up copies of leviathan, the communist manifesto, and the republic with anyone interested
casually debating with your friends
worn out oxfords or combat boots
dark circles under your eyes
doodling on your quizzes (even if you don't think you're any good) so you don't have to be the first to turn yours in
never being afraid to fight against the system when it's flawed (also never being afraid to fight for somebody's rights)
stress. so much stress.
(part two. y'know the drill - add shit!)
