"Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn."

--Cervantes

My book sounds the death knell for postmodernism and all these other pathetic movements. I'd sooner sponsor the next Timothy McVeigh. Rich clowns consumed by guilt (like Bill Gates) are the reason we have no monuments and no extraterrestrial colonies. Take the struggle out of life and were better to be dead. I may have money, but money isn't everything. My brain only does what I want it to do about 30% of the time. Most days I struggle to perform basic tasks like reading and speaking. So don't give me your sob story. If I were poor I wouldn't dream of begging for a penny.

Good quote.

>Take the struggle out of life and were better to be dead.
Another good one, although loses all meaning coming from a baby in the first world.

Also semi related but what's the point of extraterrestrial colonies if we can't even get shit right on Earth.

Haha wow I don't even want your money anymore. It would be tinged by your horribly hairy arms and your insufferable faggitude. Enjoy Ayn Rand, dickhead.

I would hope anyone with a brain can identify that many topics lack an explicit 'right'/'wrong' by the time they are in university, but the state of politics in the US today seems to belay that.

How's the JCR and dorms like over there?
Also, did you make an open app or did you choose Balliol? Do you think it positively/negatively affected your chances of getting in?

Hopefully I'll get to meet you next year fam. I fucked up by applying to only UK unis since the difference in quality of education and community from say Oxbridge to Durham/UCL/St Andrews is so high. I'm fucking stressed.

College of William and Mary

Currently doing undergrad neuroscience... Probably heading to med school after that. It's not a bad major, and because of the strength of our english department I get to enjoy some great lectures there too.

The people here are ight, the town is comfy. We do have the highest suicide rate in the country, but that's probably because of grade deflation.

I've been getting progressively more fucked up as the year passes by. Dropping acid on Halloween morning, then grabbing an eight ball of blow and getting laid. It'll be a good weekend.

English, French, German, and Dutch. But it really doesn't seem like you have to be completely fluent in a second language, as long as you can read literature in that language.

I just graduated from UBC in May, English Lit.

It's a pretty sweet school, but if you decide to do English here, get your shit together and apply for the Honours program. The regular program is alright, but not for /lit/izens.

UBC will also be like 10x cheaper than the American schools, without having to deal with shitty Toronto winters.

Downside: bring an umbrella. Campus looks amazing in April-May---September when the parents come, then it's a rainy gloomy piece of shit 80% of the time.

Basically the best environment to sit in a library and write that you could ever ask for.

As a 16-20 year old I was hugely into psychedelics and this book i found in a charity shop called Magic and Ritual in Tibet: the Cult of Tara which was the greatest thing I ever read. Also I got to live in Lhasa for a year which was cool as fuck.

Also I was at a festival and this van did Tibetan food and it was great
