How the fuck do I write "Erasmus's attitude towards life was 'shit happens, so you might as well laugh!'" in academic language?

At this point I'm surprised my hair hasn't gone white or fallen out because my stress levels are skyrocketing.

The shrine of our bard and saviour, silently but scathingly judging me as I procrastinate over my essay.

The problem with going home early for Christmas and having deadlines is needing to take all your books home as well. This is compounded by having a hold-all without wheels as my main bag as ideally I would need to minimise the weight. Curse of obscure medieval history is none of them are e books. I have already taken out the ONE book that has an e book edition I can access.

I know a lot of people who are being exploited by their employers, being forced into long hours without breaks, being insulted and bullied. To them I say:

I know it can be hard to believe in yourself, to believe that you're not shit, to believe that you deserve anything but abuse. But I want you to trust me, trust my judgement, because I look at you and I see amazing brilliance and potential. You deserve better, and you can do better. You just need to take that step.
