things i’ve heard english majors say pt. 16
-I need to print out my plot outlines single-sided because flipping them is driving me nuts, why can’t I shut the fuck up and write anything less than 42 chapters plus a 9 character pov epilogue 
-I don’t think I could ever be drunk enough to write a YA novel  
-I can’t ghost him, a character based on him is half of the story that I’m writing 
-me having to check if I’ve already used to word “immortally” in every nonfiction essay I’ve ever written 
-“it’s living too much outside the poem” just say its too vague or too ambiguous, you slut 
-mmm, the “always” kind of love. Tasty. 
-his father used to hit him and his favorite authors are all 19th century Russian men–of course he’s not a virgin
-nothing like bad movies that make me want to write 
-my face would look a lot more panicked if I was doing math right now 
-discussing serif typeface until i start internally bleeding 
-oh she said enjambment, she said utilizing white space 
-oh it ends with a period. That's a choice. 
-nothing more confusing than walking onto the bus on Thirsty Thursday while listening to the Downton Abbey theme 
-if anyone in the communications building sees me half bent over, clutching my head with both hands and slightly shaking, no you didn’t and this is actually pretty normal behavior 
-it was “best friend’s younger brother” but now it’s “my best friend’s younger bitchass playboy cousin who left me on delivered for 8 days and who I met exactly once and now I’m living near him because we hate the country we come from.” It’s called diversity. 
-I’m writing my poli sci essay
Sick, I’m writing the epilogue for book 3 when I haven’t finished book 1 or properly plotted book 2 
-literally no inconvenience is too small for me to lose my mind over 
-I don’t want to change the world, that sounds like a lot of work. But if I write something that inspires someone with a lot more initiative to change the world for me, that would be real great

things i’ve heard english majors say pt. 17
-not capitalizing I’s in poetry was a moment in tumblr history but that moment is gone and we don’t have to do that anymore 
-have you ever killed off a main character in any of your stories?
Like physically?
-I’m almost done with this stupid discussion post and then I’m gonna go for a stupid walk before I make any more stupid decisions about my stupid life
-I read over 55 poems for the lit mag and I read 46 pages of an 18th century diary for my American revolution class and yet the most productive thing I’ve done today is adding “Scarborough” to my list of name for future pets
-what’s my specialty? Prose-poetry nonfiction vignettes about the generation z experience 
What the fuck? 
-go to class, just don’t run into a guy who you ask to be the father of your children on the way there 
-we’re running on poet time, so the event is gonna go late for sure
-killing off a main character is so original that it’s unoriginal. Living people can make you cry too, John Green and Suzzanne Collins and me
-I’m all concept, no practicality
-someone pry the word slay from my cold dead hands
-I don’t know why I like poems that are, like, gross
-not to be a prude but I would have liked the poem more if it was in a more traditional format
-most shitty poetry of this era can be traced back to the grip that milk and honey had on us for a good year there
-this piece looks like it was mauled by a thesaurus
-don’t look at me using slash marks in a poem it’s a stylist choice and it isn’t cliche yet
-I can hardly keep living at all, in any condition
-I’ve been at college for two and a half years, I know how to bullshit for 10 pages
-I changed what I was going to read six or seven times since we started this open mic–
*deafening* MOOD
-ugh, is it really necessary to submit portfolios for job positions with literary magazines? 
Everyone: YES
-yeah, Buzzfeed used to be into deep long-form journalism. And now it’s not. 
-hey, there’s no mirrors in your apartment
Well duh 
-honey, I’m an English major with minors in political science and American studies, critiquing the American Dream is what I do 
-English majors love to read right that’s what we all say even though we don’t 
-I should really go get a green-colored juice so I eat a vegetable 
-the idea of a very hungry spider patrolling our house is terrifying but also like. Kind of on brand for us
-I titled my creative nonfiction collection “The Hauntings and Homelands of One-Cent Treasures” and I need you to be proud of me that I came up with a title at all
That’s literally so sexy 
-if you tell the teacher that it’s my turn to talk, I will kill myself in front of you
Don’t do that, then I’d have to write a poem about you
You’re welcome
-don’t you get free tuition if your roommate kills themselves?
Is that written down somewhere?
-are we all just unstable then?
We’re creative writing majors, there’s some sort of preamble there to not be okay
-an undergrad never asks for permission. We walk into rooms and say we should be here
