Indian Chaotic Academia Pt. 1

Wanting to wear jumpers and hoodies but changing your mind after looking at the daily temperature

Scoring 97% in English in your board exams but your spoken English makes you sound like you are an illiterate crackhead

Messy yet (somewhat) intelligible handwriting

A weak spot for old Bollywood songs regardless of your personal taste in music

Wanting to study in a park or a cafe but you can't as they're too loud and busy

Adrak chai is the solution to everything

Muting the class WhatsApp group so you can read angsty fanfiction at 3 a.m. without alerting your parents

Buying several highlighters but still end up using blunt pencils to mark important study material

At some point, a B is the best grade you'll ever find in your report card

Reading the Mahabharata at the back of the class in the same way you would read a modern novel ("Nooo, why did he have to die 😭")

Coming up with ideas for study charts but never actually making them

The poem you have to learn in your regional language class is actually your favourite childhood song

Getting the 'Slytherin house' that always comes last in every school event

#funny thing is that i have done all of these things at least once in my life #these are only a handful of experiences from my old life that i desperately want to forget and remember at the same time #btw the 'slytherin house' part means houses that are given the slytherin treatment. they don't have to be the green house #the green house was considered to be the 'gryffindor house' in my old school (i was in the red one. how ironic) #chaotic academia #dark academia #chaotic academia aesthetic #dark acadamia aesthetic #indian dark academia #indian chaotic academia #school life #indian education system #indian schools #india #just indian things #indian aesthetic #personal experiences #poc dark academia #poc chaotic academia #the insomniac archives

the age-old discussion as to whether or not ben barnes was poor casting for dorian gray is incredibly funny to me like yes we know that dorian is supposed to look like an innocent blond cherub instead of a dark luciferian daddy long leg prince of sin because literature but it all comes down nitpicking in the end because i’m just sure that oscar wilde the man himself would have been salivating over ben every waking minute of his damn life if he were here

#oscar wilde told me this himself when i was using an ouija board #he said to me that the sun doesn’t rise in the east #it rises in ben barnes’ eyes #and that he liked the movie #it’s true #oscar wilde #the picture of dorian gray #dorian gray #dorian gray 2009 #ben barnes #benjamin thomas barnes #dark academia #dark academia books #poc dark academia #english literature #english lit #classic literature #classic lit #english lit memes #classic lit memes #books and literature #book blog #books

In theory, I'm dark academia. In practice, I'm chaotic academia

#i don't have any fancy clothes nor do i attend a gothic university with vampires lurking amongst the student body #the closest thing to dark academia that i possess is burnt out gifted kid syndrome #i was that one kid you'd find reading books or doodling at the back of the classroom and just wanted to go home and not study at all #chaotic academia is more my style because of its unrefinedness that makes it really versatile and relatable in a way #dark academia #dark academia aesthetic #indian dark academia #poc dark academia #chaotic academia #chaotic academic aesthetic #indian chaotic academia #poc chaotic academia #the insomniac archives
