The batfamily as classic british secondary school tropes (?)
Alfred: the cool lunch lady who gives you a meal even if you don't have any money left on your account
Bruce: that one strict teacher who turns into the nicest person ever outside of class
Dick: that one six former that walks into year seven classes just to go "Omg, hey teach, do you remember teaching me lol?"
Barbara: the one kid whos always on the computers at lunch and someone got on all the banned websites just so she can play cookie clicker
Jason: the one who thinks he's the teachers pet
Cass: the ACTUAL teachers pet
Tim: the one kid who rarely shows up to school and when they do, they just make a bunch of concerning jokes and then disappears again so no one is sure if they're dead or alive
Steph: the loud girl who sits in the back of class who will shank anyone who says anything to her friends, despite the fact that she routinely insults her friends
Duke: the kid who's quiet so you think they'll be chill to sit next to but then they somehow rope you into the wildest shit
Damian: the year seven with a big backpack

Never understood the absolute depth that can be meant by the phrase 'quietly devastating' til now. Forgive me as I quickly internalise the delicious, beautiful self-removal of skin and flesh that is reading Ocean Vuong's 'On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous'

Studyblr re-intro!
Hiya! I'm Mai (she/her) - I created my studyblr years ago to hold myself accountable for being productive and not slacking off with my studying. But I've not touched this account in years now so that's about how well that's gone.
I'm twenty one years old from the UK, and I'm in my second year of an English Literature degree. I can't lie, part of the reason I evaporated off your dashboard is because uni's been really hard. There are more tears, procrastination, breakdowns over the uncertainty of the future, hours scrolled through tiktok, stress meals eaten, and feelings of complete and utter displacement than I think people on studyblr let on. Going forward, I think I'm going to try to be more authentic (cringe sorry) and maybe that'll make me want to post more and in turn (we can only hope) be more productive.
I've also been trying to learn French since Lockdown, but am very much still a beginner (can just about order a meal), so if any langblr people wanna be friends I'm down to follow each other on Duolingo :) I say this but I've not been on Duolingo since the summer.
Quick-fire things about me!
I follow back from maiwritesstuff (boring formality but just fyi)
I love reading! Just not the stuff for my course - my favs are anything by Nabokov, Still Life by Sarah Winman, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, A Little Life by Hanya Yanighara, and probably a lot more than what springs to mind
One of my greatest passions in life is writing, hence why you should also follow maiwritesstuff. Not that I ever post on there either, but you can follow and then eagerly await my comeback
(I love parentheses)
I went to see Barbie 7 times in cinema and it was the greatest summer of my life
There is not a meal on earth that cannot be infinietly improved by a side of coleslaw
I'm a pisces!!
Another of my great passions in life is music! I listen to loads and loads of stuff and could ramble endlessly about most genres
I could ramble endlessly about most topics tbh
My favourite pokemon is Vaporeon
One of my New Years resolutions is to try and enjoy things without thinking too deeply about them ideologically (i am still very bad at this)
I love cooking!!! And baking!!! And one of the greatest freedoms of uni is getting to cook what I want when I want without having to battle with my younger brother for use of the kitchen. I also live RIGHT next to big tesco which is where most of my money goes :(
I'm currently procrastinating finishing an essay that's due tomorrow hahahahahaha
I'm boring and have nothing else to say :(

January 25th 💖
I’ve finished my close reading of Jane Eyre and somehow managed to fall more in love with this story than I already was.
Charlotte Bronte is a master of prose and language. Her writing is exquisite and I underlined so many beautiful descriptions of nature, sunsets and the moors.
I’m actually so excited to write about this book.

Yesterday my professor was talking about how each writer has their own style and tone and then she talks about Sylvia Plath and her style and I almost screamed "that's the female hysteria writer all of us girls relate to!!!" but thankfully I didn't but I kept nodding to every word she said because it's obviously relatable.
