Chaotic Academia

Two top buttons undone , scribbled notes in pencil or biro, kill your darlings , untied laces, so much coffee, all nighters, crying in the library , Mozart, writing film scripts for fun, rain storms , moorland, swimming in the dark, movie soundtrack while studying, procrastination, muddy boots , unsent letters.
