Rec | 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

FINISHING MY UNDERGRAD

double the major double the time double the fun… took me nearly 6 years. in these few years I lived through a global pandemic, got diagnosed with ADHD, dyed my hair blonde, red, & black in varying lengths and tones, fell in love, travelled to europe, aligned more deeply with my queerness, moved out of home, and ended my veganism only to end up with celiac disease. I started this degree when I was 17 (late bday) and finished it at 23 with tiramisu and a lot of vodka. I am very loved and cherished. There’s nothing that made me deserving of the privelage and pace at which I move through the world. I am the first brown woman in my mom’s side/ immediate family to be in her early twenties with no familial or martial burdens to carry. I am so so blessed!! shoutout to my parents for funding this hopeful little artist 🎓 also pic of my grad dress below. I got it from Y2K Vintage in London, Brick Lane. it’s been hanging in my room since I came back feom my trip, and it felt like such a milestone to put it on for the purpose that I bought it for: to graduATE 💜
