i see this dark academia trend and i would like to raise y’all: Disfunctional Academia
it includes, but is not limited to:
not getting more than 8 hours of sleep per week
eating m&m’s for dinner (newtrishun!)
not studying for tests until an hour before you have to take it
waiting until the last minute to do homework/write papers
so much redbull like i’m talking 4 per hour
not knowing where any of your notes are/ having notes taken out of order
no sense of fashion (my favorite item of clothing is an extra large black t-shirt that says “bridesmaid” in bedazzled letters that i found at goodwill)
skipping class just because
can’t focus on anything for longer than like a minute
consuming multiple forms of media at the same time for extra instant gratification points
not enjoying a single on of your classes
music taste ranges from tchaikovsky’s slavonic march to the fucking heyayayay song but like the he-man version and you will listen to them consecutively
no time for actual meals. (i run on m&m’s, water, caffeine, and a shit ton of bread)
there is no such thing as a planner. we write all the shit we have to remember on our hands, forget it’s there, wash it off in the sink, and die like men.
wanting to drop out but not having the courage to pursue a different path in life
