when i was in a young artists program as a teenager, i wrote a short play that was basically just this tweet called “transformers: a freudian account” and had my peers perform it in front of like, moderately successful writers

there are many ways for graduate students to make some extra money, such as start a lucrative poetry press or give an excellent conference paper
i was reading at least a book + theory each week, teaching two sections, designing courses, running the grad lit journal, and writing stories + a novel draft. and that doesn’t even count the drinking and pretending to care about any of it
I keep seeing people claiming that "grad students only work 5 hours a week" and then clicking on their profile and they're in some tea-leaf reading field like econ or analytic philosophy. You're telling on yourselves! Some of us are doing real things like reading sonnets.

is therapy really necessary. i’m being so serious. can i just get away without it. because i really have tried, and in no uncertain terms, i think it’s the most godawfulest bunch of absolute barnacles and i’d rather be waterboarded than have to do another intake session
