my favourite chaotic academia things~

bingeing murder mystery shows all night and guessing who the culprit was 

drinking bucket loads of cocoa instead of coffee

annotating books with “lol” and “lmao” instead of insightful thoughts 

wearing graphic tees with dress pants or blazers

drawings and reminders written all over your arms and hands 

95% of your reading consists of fanfiction

staying up until 3am to help your friend write an essay you haven’t even started 

debating (more like arguing) about the ethics of capitalism 

drinking tea out of shot glasses and wine in a thermos 

discussing why certain political figures and composers were 100% queer 

playing Bach and Mozart on an electric piano

My chaotic grad school academia

Writes only with cheap clear bic/biro or fountain pen, no inbetween (wooden pencils)

Beta reads fanfics and friends’ grad thesis

CD > Vinyl (still collects tho)

Obsessed with music

Grades papers listening to an iPod classic

Phobia of read books, still goes to the book section with wife despite running out of bookshelves a year ago

Wanders the bookstore but only ever gets books from the library (it’s that plastic wrapped cover. They make me feel safe)

Wine in mason jars

Analog watch that always an hour behind

Carries my Stanley everywhere (it’s only filled with ice; Xmas gift) and actually uses it as my only reusable cup

90s Toyota is my entire personality

Leggings and blazers

Crocs and business casual to teach class

Absolutely no impulse control

Too many trips to Target to check out the music section

Hyperfixates on new thing/fictional character/album every 2 months

Absolutely no sleep schedule (IM DOOMED)

Wishes I could be a moody chain smoking alcoholic academic but I just doomscroll and avoid my responsibilities instead (IM STILL JUST AS DOOMED) (we’re all also too lazy/busy to drink)

Drinks too much iced coffee; hates coffee (I’ll like it by the time I graduate at the rate I’m going)

Random spurts of creative inspiration; absolute manic burn out

Gets to be intellectual on main at all times it’s fun

“I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when i see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their bestfriend, I realize that even though i like being alone, i don’t fancy being lonely. The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad. I just need someone who wont run away.”

“Date the girl whose hair is a mess and steals your t-shirts and kisses you in front of boys who look at her admiringly. Date the girl who wants to dance in the rain with you and make tea for you and make you laugh so hard you snort tea out your nose. Date the girl who cares so much that she can tell something is wrong just by looking at you. Date the girl who will wrap her arms around you for no reason and pay attention when you talk about the things you love, even if she doesn’t love them herself. Date the girl who looks like a lazy sunday afternoon instead of a saturday night. Yeah. Just date that girl.”

the absolute fucking height of comedy is scientists and scholars getting into fights over incredibly niche subjects. the idea of nerds in labcoats and suits getting close to blows over something that only like 20 people care about is so funny.
