Dark academia but make it ✨chaotic✨
coming to your classes with no pen or pencil
drawing on your desk or cutting its corners
forgetting words you had been learning all the previous night
crumpled shirts
rereading favourite dark academia books
old letter openers with no letters to open
sneaking into the classroom after the beginning of the lecture
Getting so lost in researching something for school that you forget it's for school
Sometimes can't resist correcting people though you're not proud of it
Ink stains on your sleeves
Messy poetry scribbled in definitely-not-for-poetry academic books
Teachers are mad at you for only paying attention to class when you think the subject is "fun" enough and yet getting the best grades
Running after the teacher when the class's over to ask them questions
Writing short notes on your hand because you forgot your notebook
A dozen dead ballpoint pens in your bag
Taking your favorite novel to boring classes to read under the table for the seven hundredth time
Putting all your will to remember that pretentious word of that dead language you're learning and cursing out loud when you fail
Your whole being smells like coffee
