it's fun to try to keep your age as ambiguous as possible for as long as possible. if not for mystique reasons at least so you can still plausibly get a student discount on most things. this also works when you get actually older so you can be plausibly middle aged for a million years

i mean "mature" in the most superficial way, like people acting shocked if i talk about smoking or drinking... it's been like this since i was a teenager but it feels extra patronizing now that i'm 22 :/

tried reading dante alighieri’s inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat.
i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and niche—but it just cost me $25.
i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story.
anyways

saying “i’m sick” when you’re sick is boring.
instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (it’s time to revive these sayings from the dead!):
“i am indisposed”
“i am taken ill”
“i am feeling out of sorts”
“i am suffering from a bilious attack”
“i have been seized by an ague”
“i am afflicted with a malaise”
“i have taken to my bed”
“the vapours have overcome me”
“i have a touch of the influenza”
“the rheumatism plagues me”
“i am laid low with a fever”
“i am afflicted with a troublesome ailment”
you’re welcome
