where did you go to school and what did you study?

i went to nyu gallatin and concentrated in essentially literature and polysci/sociology but almost all of my classes were interdisciplinary seminars so i was out there taking shit like “philosophy of religion” and “domesticating the wild in children’s literature”…… literally greatest most stimulating four years of my life (academically) and i would pay a million dollars to have access to my course essays again. my concentration colloquium i ended up titling “loaded language: domination & dissent through the written word” and everytime i think about it im like woah i really tapped into something that i would only get more interested in and also goddamn i need to get an advanced degree and also yeah every stereotype about gallatin students is true lol

#writing this out was insufferable but i cannot imagine i more incredible or enriching path for undergrad and i will always always be so #outlandishly grateful for every single moment even if i can’t remember 75% of them and outside the classroom it was hell #would retake every course but two in a heartbeat #my post colonial feminism class with the scariest smartest woman i’ve ever met who put our asses through the RINGER……#i have literally NONE of my papers bc my email got deactivated and i have a breakdown about that once every eighteen months #like hundreds of pages just gone. oh also bc i spilled coffee on my laptop and didn’t have an external hard drive
