I'm a Classical Studies major. I love to read, I love to write, I love to run, I love to Latin. I'm very passionate about learning and one day I'd like to be a teacher - probably a Latin teacher. However at this point, I have no idea what my life is about. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Catch phrases you will probably see a lot. Like, a lot alot: "Oh my Apollo!" and "What (even) are this?" and "That sounds like a you-problem."

“Fix some magnesium” my mother says as I cry into the phone at 5:30 in the morning. 

For the 2nd week in a row, I can’t sleep. My friends say they don’t have any more encouragement for me and I should consider seeking help. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I fixed the fizzy, hot, magnesium drink like my mom suggested. The taste instantly reminds me of every awful period in my life, since this was my mother’s emotional-cure-all.

Now I sit in a darkened dining room, alone. Waiting for the morning that I wish wouldn’t come.

I've realized that people have stopped asking me "How are you?" and have started asking "Are you okay?" I've never answered either honestly.

Have not actually played a pokemon video game ever, just the cards when they first came out, and even I find these adorably endearing.

‘I Take Issue’ project- wrote my first graphic novelette! Not something I’d normally say, but I’m super proud of this.

(please excuse the weird layout, it’s formatted for printing rather than internet)

I had to reblog this. Because it’s not only beautifully painted, its idea is something that needs to be shared, again and again, so that more people will take their bloody buckets off.

Thank you for making this.

can you believe there are people who don’t cry about history

Me: desperately wants to spend time with person

Brain: “don’t be clingy”

Me: doesn’t say anything to person

Teenage girls saying “I can’t even” is basically the same as old ladies saying “Well I never”.

This is messing with my head.

Terentia tibi salutem, καὶ Κικέρων ὁ μικρὸς ἀσπάζεται Τίτον τὸν Ἀθηναῖον. (Letters to Atticus, II.9)

Terentia delectata est tuis litteris; impertit tibi multam salutem, καὶ Κικέρων ὁ φιλόσοφος τὸν πολιτικὸν Τίτον ἀσπάζεται. (Letters to Atticus, II.12)

Ea tibi igitur et Κικέρων, ἀριστοκρατικώτατος παῖς, salutem dicunt. (Letters to Atticus, II.15)

There is not much point in translating these, they’re greetings from Cicero and family at the end of the letters. But the bits in Greek…

That’s little Marcus who is studying Greek and adding (presumably in his own hand) his own line to daddy’s letters to show how he’s learning.

If that alone doesn’t make you squee in delight (I now turn to the Greek literate among you), you can actually see his progress! Basic sentence formation, word order and superlatives.

You’re not in too deep until you barely restrain yourself from going “Awww! Little Marcus has done superlatives!” out loud on the commuters’ bus. The academic progress of a child from 2000 years ago. That is what a classicist’s happiness is made of.

baby dragons that sleep in your fireplace and roll about in the soot and the ash trying to get comfortable on burning logs, screeching loudly whenever people walk by or when more logs need to be added to its roost and not stopping until content again

baby dragons with wings that are disproportionate to their bodies until older but nonetheless stubbornly trying to pick themselves up off the ground by running and aggressively flapping and managing to only get a few feet off the ground for a few seconds before crash landing

baby dragons that haven’t been exposed to priceless things such as gems and gold pieces and instead infatuate themselves with other unusual shiny things — like silverware, brass clocks, instruments, and pots and pans

baby dragons who get cold in the winter and crawl up into their caretaker’s clothing (almost always while said clothing is being worn) and curl up as tight as possible and begin to make sounds similar to content purring as they sleep
