I may not know how Joan of Ark felt but I sure understand Cassandra these days

[transmonk]

if you put notes at the end of the book and not directly under the text you should kill yourself

[teamrocketing]

one thing about americans is that they know how to make a fucking milkshake

[loumandliker]

i hate the stupid milk consistency shit you get here like if you give me a milkshake it better be rock fucking solid. i want that thang thick like concrete. it should piss me off trying to drink it through a straw. i should have to wait for it to thaw

Americans are so good at making Beverage. One of our Foundational Moments was actually a party involving Making Beverage. Google "Boston Tea Party" for more

Why, yes, I did buy two new history books knowing damn well I have two sitting at home that I haven't read. Your point?

[hannahp0calypse]

(girl with adhd voice) yeah i just love in fiction when a character has a superpower thats also a disability. like a power that changes how they interact with the world in exciting ways but also has terrible drawbacks to their daily life. no real reason why

the thing about getting a degree in the humanities is that you don't have a career path fixed from the beginning. Which is a good thing but it also sucks because you take that high school graduate career choice panic and postpone it to a bachelor's graduate panic and then you postpone it again to a master's graduate panic and then you're out of options because either you postpone it again and pursue a phd or you finally make a decision even though you still feel like a child with no idea which field to go into and you're an expert in a specific field of literature or dialectology or a history period or smth and there are zero jobs with that requirement

[mindfulstudyquest]

i have a question: why do you keep sabotaging yourself? why is it that as soon as you think something is just out of your reach you do everything you can to get in your own way? why is it that as soon as things seem to be going right, you plant your feet and sit on the ground with your legs crossed?

you're not fucking lucky. you worked for it, you sweated, and you cried, and you sacrificed so much to reach the level of knowledge and skill you have now.

have you worked so hard only to say "how lucky"? no, damn it, i won't let you. you may not be a genius, you may not be the best in the world, but do you fucking think anyone could do what you did? do you think anyone could get to where you are? do you believe that anyone has the possibilities that you have?

put this in your head, you are not unexpressed potential, you are exceptional and with your hard work you can achieve unimaginable things. stop wasting your dreams just because they seem too big for the drawer.

edit : in italian we say "dream in the drawer" when we refer to a hope that is unlikely to come true, but not impossible.

ex. my dream in the drawer is to become a famous singer all over the world

(just in case you didn't understand the last sentence)

hot girl summer? no. lonely history major summer

[morgan-la-fay]

it just dawned on me that maybe just *maybe* studying history when I don’t have the attention span to read more than three words at a time was a bad idea

[septemberkisses]

“fuck you, my child is completely fine.”

ma'am your child is a history major, with an unhealthy obsession of dark academia.

your child is not *fine*

[owladin]

Who needs tv when you have the footnotes of history books where the writers keep having an argument with each other in their respective books

[skaisnotdead]

My history degree is useless for everything but dreading what comes next

[shawolsos]

One day you're a sweet innocent child watching horrible histories and reading Rick Riordan then BAM you're a university student with a non-existent sleep schedule and you're crying over a badly annotated copy of the Odyssey and some barely legible charters from the Middle Ages

“It’s giving Cunk”

“Don’t you mean cunt?”

Me on my way to annoy a history professor: “no”
