good old fashioned chat rooms

I know that Discord and other social media platforms (and ofc this) exist, and that's fine and dandy. But do you remember the thrill of going into chat rooms? Getting responses in real time, not too personal, low commitment, and always available? I guess it's all sex bots and links to other platforms now, but for just a brief moment in internet history, it was glorious. Except for kids getting groomed. That was bad. Anyway. Two of my best friends even met their now-husbands on chat rooms!

Graduating with a b.a. in english

bc it’s what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but I’m just happy to have made it through this part at 32! Stacked is everything I read in my English courses—barely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
