in today’s world i’m left increasingly disappointed
not that i’ve had any experience with prior eras
(i’d appreciate if someone would fucking invent a time machine asap)
(that’d be pretty cool, let’s be real)
but i have a few questions
like…
since when did people become so impersonal?
1 in 5 marriages today started online…
(not that I’m against online dating)
(but I thought life partners are supposed to be more cosmically planned than that)
what happened to that attitude everyone had freshman year in college
that overwhelming sense of possibility and opportunity
that swelled upon any interaction with another person
that echoing thought: “this person could be a huge part of my life”
when did that change?
and
since when did college stop catering to the student?
i busted my ass through high school
with the only light at the end of my tunnel being that
“when you get to college you’ll only have to study the things you want”
(thanks, dad)
but then what am i struggling through language, math, and science requirements for,
destroying my gpa,
when all I want to do is study literature?
what’s going on here?
I've found that the only way to really study what you want is independently. You can choose your major and all that good stuff but you still only get to go in the directions you wish so often. I've probably learned more on my own after college than in it - particularly in literature.
