graduate school hasn't yet cured my loneliness or satisfied my emotional needs so im going on a date again this week to remind myself that men can't do that either
professor criticized me for the structure of the intro of my essay. guess they're not interested in resisting academic rigidity and queering the structure of the seminar paper
crazy thing happened in my graduate seminar. we had to read Emerson's essay "the poet" and someone literally raised the critique: "i dont see myself represented in this"
stuff like this has an adjacent energy to those where ppl in their early 20s post photos of female celebrities captioned shit like "she looks so great for her age???" & the celebrity in question is...literally 30 years of age
i know this has already been said countless number of times but sometimes i feel like people are a little too comfortable sharing pictures of the mutilated and dying
there's this professor i want as an advisor but im afraid to ask him outright so i keep saying shit like "yeah not really sure what period i want to specialize in yet but wouldnt it be crazy if i studied 19th c. american literature like you lol." but he hasnt gotten the hint yet
