Liberal Arts College Gothic

runawaymarbles:

• You need another English credit. You already have thousands of English credits. They fill up your room and chase you down the street. You are drowning. You need another English credit.
• You have an essay due tomorrow. You always have an essay due tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. You must keep working on the essay. It’s due tomorrow.
• Everyone is getting undercuts. Under what? You are never sure what lies Beneath. But sometimes, you see the Void.
• You need classes in different areas for a full education. You go to these areas. Your feet are blistered and bleeding. You must find all the areas. 
• There is a Party In The Woods. It is exactly like the last one. You fear you are stuck in a time loop, but by then it is too late. Someone sells you a plastic cup of PBR for five dollars. 
• You know everyone on campus. Their faces, their tattoos, and their souls. You start walking with your eyes closed: you do not want to see. 
• There are sports teams. They whisper restlessly around the edges of campus. If you look directly at them, they disappear. But once in a while, you can hear them scream. You do not know if it is celebratory or scared. 
• Straight boys feel alone. There are so few of them. There are straight boys everywhere you look. They feel so alone. 
• “This way is more environmentally sound,” they say. You can hear the environmental sound. It sounds like Nicki Minaj. 
• School is not The Real World. Objects crumble under your touch. Your professors are translucent. Your books are in an ancient tongue. This Is Not The Real World.
