College: hey, at least you submitted something. I’ll give you a 100

Kindergarten me was right, I really do want to become a scientist 💀

[tired-academia]

I swear to god Honors English is going to be the death of me

Further proof for me that assigned reading just takes the fun out of everything

My english teachers assigning me a 200 page ‘classic’ book and grading me on if I take notes on it:

Me: I simply do not see.

Also me: *Will literally read any book, classic or modern, short or long, and analyze and take notes on it. But the difference is that I actually wanted to do it*

I can’t get over the fact that after a heated argument Nick just suddenly says “oh yeah it’s my birthday!” and then goes on to have a whole ass monologue about being old and trying to forget the whole argument he witnessed

Gatsby, Tom, and Daisy: *Having an argument in a fucking hotel suite*

The hotel staff and the wedding party downstairs: Can you guys, like, stop having relationship issues while I’m on the phone with my dentist?

[tired-academia]

me: Oh woe is me! I can’t read an average book assigned to me by my english teacher :/

me after the percy jackson news arrived and i started taking my reread of the series more seriously than the great gatsby: Wow, reading is actually fun!... I actually feel something!

[tired-academia]

Teachers really expect me to be physically capable to be motivated to do online work

[tired-academia]
