17. Senior ass bitch. INFJ. I like RHPS, Marvel, Loki, good music, and anything funny/stupid. P.S. I’m kind of an sjw and fed up with America.
School starts in exactly 10 days and I have not started on either of my summer reading books ☠☠☠☠☠
stop telling girls interested in lit that they need to read these great american classics by violent misogynists in order for their opinions to be valid or for their minds to be developed
listen my man I don’t give a fuck about your opinions of my literary validity, I’m perfectly happy not reading books written by men masturbating to violence against women and their own self imposed exile to prove that they’re more complex than thou through some jerk off journey to find themselves
It’s amazing. The amount of energy that goes into communicating is just outrageous. And you end up just writing what is dead important. Everything becomes so precious. And it’s very interesting. You start very quickly listening to completely different music as well, and reading completely different books and you get this urge for completely different films as well.
*whispers* if Shakespeare could pass the bechdel test despite writing in an inherently patriarchal and routinely misogynistic society then you, modern day writers, have literally no excuse
*whispers* you really, really don’t
ap euro: it's probably the catholic church's fault so you can blame them for everything
apush: just remember that the white men will fuck over everyone else, and even on occasion, other white men
ap english lit: tattoo the complete works of shakespeare on your person
ap spanish language: put everything in the subjunctive to show how much you doubt everything you do
ap physics i: make a blood sacrifice to sir isaac newton
ap physics ii: cry on a battery
ap calc ab: take the derivative, set it equal to zero, and pray
I knew things were getting bad when I actively sought out a Hamilton theme ride at SoulCycle. A few days later: “Welcome to Hamil-spin!” instructor James J., in American flag leggings, shouted to the darkened, sold-out class. Soon, I had the uniquely nerdy yet glorious experience of “tapping it back” while screaming the lyrics, “I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine!”
It was official: Even weeks after seeing the show (after a four-month wait), I was obsessed with Hamilton—and I am far from alone. President Obama is practically stage-dooring: he’s gone twice (“Geithner has got to see this,” he reportedly said). Beyoncé has fangirled backstage, and Marc Jacobs Instagrammed a sassy selfie in a Hamilton tank. “The curtain rose and everything changed,” Sarah Jessica Parker enthused. Melodramatic? Perhaps. But so true.
Reading through A Tale of Two Cities made me want to revisit some AP English notes, so here you go:

Syntactical Devices, deal with sentence structure
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
