elisa, i'm in a similar position to you, having just graduated. there is nothing sweeter than to see your feelings reflected in another's writing and know you are not alone. this is exactly what i needed this morning ❣️ wishing you the best!
elisa! i've had this saved, not as a link or anywhere, but on a forgotten tab on my ipad. Every time I went to sift through my pages, I kept this one because I knew that it'd be a personable and promising piece. I'm with you! I'm an English major graduating this December and I'm equally excited to have a freer schedule but it's often weighed down by the concept of too much free time, a. lack of structure, and a loss of community and identity. I'm glad I finally got around to reading it and hope that writing this has helped process the transition as reading it has done for me.
I relate a lot to you, in some specific points of the story it felt like you were talking about mine lol. I also have lots of issues when dealing with endings and it mostly feels sometimes that people just didn’t care about those things that passed as I did. I think we always have doubts, just need to try things out. I hope everything works out for you and you find something that makes you feel as inspired as when you were literature student 🤍
this hit home! i graduated with a degree in english lit at the end of 2022. i don't miss the stress of school and the depressive episodes that were finals but even a year and a half later i struggle to separate myself from the label of "student" or "literature student". luckily, there's still so much literature to be read and enjoyed and analysed outside of an academic setting, and it feels lovely doing it all on my own time. best of luck! <3
i loveee dead poets society! studying literature is so stressful but so rewarding, good luck on all your final exams you’re gonna ace this! also you mentioning book fairs in school brought back so many memories, i was such a bookish kid i loved those 💗
being a lit student (or graduate) is both a blessing and a curse; you’ll complain about it all the time — about how bleak the future seems, about how much work and sacrifices it costs you… — and wonder if you made the right choice, but then you’ll read about a parallelism going on between random books, poems, etc. and you’ll be like “this is what i truly love” 🥹❤️ best of luck with your exams babe
