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!
I submitted my master's thesis yesterday and after four years of studying literature and analyzing every single sentence of every book we had read... I feel tired. I cannot even imagine becoming a "real" adult after this.
It feels so good to see that I'm not alone in this struggle. But at the same time, it makes me miserable to think that other people feel as lost as me in a similar situation.
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

i guess we all feel lost somehow but we'll find our path eventually!
