What do you mean you've never had imaginary interviews in your head where the interviewer would ask you deep questions about life, love and human existence and you would give even deeper answers and the audience would give standing ovations and some people would even tear up????

ignoring politics is a privilege

when f. scott fitzgerald said “i am really only myself when I’m somebody else“ and when octavio paz said “i am the other when I am myself, my acts are more my own when they are everybody's”

-,’ types of people ,’-

hogwarts: bloody noses, always trying their best, warm sunsets, late summer nights, sharing secrets, messy hair, movie nights, stargazing, wanting to explore the world, standing up for friends, dogs, loud laughs, fuzzy sweaters

narnia: pale white snow, red cheeks, hot tea, fantasy stories, neat notes, big scarves, early morning walks, soft smiles, cute coffee shops, calming energy, cold hands, friendly eyes, wanting to learn more, astronomy geeks

middle earth: ancient souls, coffee, old bookshelves, history nerds, loves mythology, feels at home in the forest, always up for an adventure, oversized hoodies, high grades, striving to be the best version of themselves, cats

neverland: believes in fate, doesn’t care about opinions, flower fields, standing up for what’s right, honey, photography, amazed by the universe, kind souls, often lost in their own thoughts, friendliness, loves the stars, artistic

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!)
