First exam of the exam period in 30 minutes. Study or tumblr?
I have an essay due tomorrow
and I’m just watching cat videos and eating pringles.
When essay questions are handed out:
Awesome! I get to research and write on a topic that I find interesting! I’ll go check out some library books right after class!
20 billion other assignments are assigned with closer due dates:
I have books, from the library! I should be fine. Right?
Two days before it’s due:
Oh fuck, why didn’t I pick a topic that I could just use the textbook for and not have to think?
When someone from class asks me to hang out just because we bumped into each other
Or when you leave the classroom at the same time as them, and they assume you want to walk and converse with them.
Just a normal Sunday night in the last two months of school, arguing in a essay that social media is a positive tool for maintaining interpersonal relationships and does not cause social isolation. School, on the other hand, definitely causes social isolation. I’m sitting alone in my room with the door closed, eating reheated pizza and listening to florence and the machines at full volume. I could be at a concert.
