Studying in the kitchen cause my room is currently a fucking mess and I hate it. I didn’t work on this essay over the holidays cause I didn’t have access to the library (I was in a different country, come on) and I’m dying now. This is the last time I procrastinate, I swear.

shoutout to people who aren’t in school but are studying certain subjects they’re interested in on their own time!

people usually only give credit and encouragement to folks who are studying in an effort to get a diploma or degree but choosing to study outside of school because you’re interested in learning more just for the sake of learning and becoming more educated is really commendable, too, and it’s something you should be proud of and supported in so good luck with your studies and i hope you keep up the good work!

when a native speaker asks you “do you know what that word you used means?” and you immediately question your entire knowledge of that language and assume the word has 76342 secret and presumably offensive meanings that you didn’t know about
