saturday reading 

they literally created a place where you can go and learn about something that really interests you and they fucked it up by inventing ASSIGNMENTS

Tag yourself as these humanities subjects

all songs can be found on my dark academia playlist here

English: ‘Oxford Comma’ by Vampire Weekend

shades of obsidian ink spilt across your lined pages, imagining book characters out of passersby on the street, falling in love with the person who makes your coffee every dew stained morning, torn paper quotes embellishing your bedroom walls, sentimental connections to your favourite books

Geography: ‘Time Above The Earth’ by The Kooks

embellishing boring days with vibrant clothing, planning your days around being awake to watch the sky sweep for watercolour streaks, small souvenirs hiding in the crevices of your room, spilling your thoughts into your phone at the most obscure hours

Philosophy: ‘Hollywood Forever’ by FINNEAS

diluted light leaking through the unloved window panes, cream sweatshirts and checkered shirts, beads of gold dripping from every debate you argue, opal hearts with black taints that can’t be wiped away like dust, silly kisses where you blow air into each other’s mouth

Religion: ‘Breathe’ by Riley Baron

rows of fresh apple trees in overgrown orchards, white dresses that brush against nature’s hair, meaningful symbols held close to your heart, pressed wildflowers hidden between old books, pieces of lace delicately hanging on your body

History: ‘The Night We Met’ by Lord Huron

strolling through unknown museums and falling in love with every lost soul exhibited there, second hand clothing loved more by you, browned books faded but rich in emotion and information, documenting the best years of your life on film cameras 

Law: ‘Instant Coffee’ by Bugs

giant echoing rooms with people too full of what they have to say, drinking iced coffee like its water, subdued neon lights spreading hues around your room, adorning your body in layers of clothing, nocturnal days so you can chatter with your friend the moon at night

The rest is silence.

Translating from ancient Greek is a type of escape
