march 3, 2017 / i recently hit 500 ahh ty!!! this is what’s in my pencil case & the links to everything are under the cut! (+commentary no one asked for lmao)
i. lihit lab pen case; (i don’t know where the pin is from i’m sorry) i bought this at the beginning of 2016 but it still looks and feels brand new
ii. paper mate mechanical pencils 0.7mm; for some reason this is the only brand of pencil i can use and idk why but i love the way it makes my ugly handwriting look
iii. uniball signo 207 pens; really smooth ink
iv. poppin metallic gel ink pens; i love these gel pens but in the pack i got, one of the pens was broken so i had to throw it out which sucked
v. bic bright liner highlighters; these highlighters are great for annotating in books bc they don’t bleed through !!!
vi. pigma micron pens; these were a recent purchase that i originally got for inktober but i still love using them
vii. 0.5 lead; yeah ik my pencils are 0.7 but i bought a huge bulk of 0.5 lead and threw away the package so now i need to use all of it
viii. sticky notes; my aunt got me this huge package of 15 sticky notes a few years ago and i split them w my sister
ix. white out pen; works pretty well and tbh it’s nearly the same as these
So for my degree we have to read "the sun also rises" by your fave, Hemingdouche. The blurb looked interesting, so I decided to keep an open mind but I'm not even halfway through and GOOD LORD. I would pay good money for sentences that lasted longer than one clause rn, I don't give two fucks about any of the characters or their sodding fishing trip to spain, the book is so tiny but it's a genuine struggle to finish it. Your hemingdouche tag is the only thing giving me life rn so thank you
His sentence constructions alone make me so angry that I’m incapable of reading Hemingdouche. I’m glad the tag is giving you strength, and I wish you all the luck in getting through it. <3
I'm a potential english student and was wondering whether people doing similar degrees ever have the time to keep up a language? I would love to do conversational french lessons (I have an AS but not an A2) but I'm worried it would take up too much time!! And is doing extra language lessons common at Cambridge? Thanks :)
There is the Cambridge language center but, to be honest, most people can’t really keep up with work and a language during term time. Maybe try to spend out of term time keeping up for french (going to France perhaps?) and concentrate on your degree in term time.

I'm a prospective English applicant trying to decide on a college and I'm currently debating between Emma, Clare and Tit hall. All three of these are pretty high up in the Tompkins table for English and I was wondering which one would be the least pushy for my subject. (I'm perfectly okay with a relatively academic college since I'm at an academic school but I don't want to be hugely stressed and pressurised). Also, which is known as the least prescriptivist/traditional? (if that makes sense)
Least pushy: It’ll be between Clare and Tit hall, Emma is more academically pushy overall. I mean, Emma won’t be like “death, pressure, must 1st!” but it’ll be more pressure in terms of overall college vibe than the other two.
As for least traditional...Well Tit Hall is the multicolored hair, alternative college so that’s probably the best bet? But I mean, they still have normal, traditional formals and say grace and all that normal stuff. Clare also has a fairly alternative vibe, their May Ball is usually rather edgy.
