I suffered a mental break after writing like eighteen college essays and wrote the newest one about a bagel and I just call it college essay bagel and it haunts me but like objectively it’s funny because it’s about a bagel you know? And my English teacher is gonna throw a book at my head when she finally reads it

#I cannot handle the unbearable pressure of this patriarchal and capitalist system meant to grind all of us down into something palatable #the system wants to swallow me whole and goddamn if I won’t make myself poisonous #what do you mean the AP classes and perfect academic existence isn’t enough #i made this my whole life and now you tell me I cannot write of the pain I had to hide to do so #this is not writing #sorry y’all #I’m but a teenage girl who is simply going through it #like and I’m not even allowed to write about trauma on the essay what kind of bullshit is this #you say write about your life and damn if that isn’t mine #I’m a writer and an artist #you think I’m okay?#I’m gonna start a series of food related college essays
