George Orwell: Never use a long word when a short one will do.
Humanities scholars: Seen 4:15 pm
three more pages till I’m allowed to hand my b.a. in.
still not sure what my thesis is or if I even have one
it be like that sometimes.
t’is a pity that those phrases in my b.a. thesis I’m proudest of are almost certainly also the ones my beta readers will make me cut because they’re too sassy.
my bachelor thesis contains 10 pages on media responses to the Cleveland Street scandal and everytime I look at them my brain plays “Read all about it” (see below) on repeat because really, that’s my chapter in a nutshell.
#cleveland street the musical#cleveland street scandal#west end scandal#history#musical theatre#my b.a. everyone#i hate how much I love this obscure little musucal#I'd pay real money to get a full recording#seriously this thing is keeping me alive throughout my b.a. struggles#I've read so many Victorian newspapers for this thesis#you have no idea#the things I've had to read with my own two eyes#I accidently found a weird poem about the devil cheering himself up by reading the news#it was on the same page as an article I needed so OBVIOUSLY I had to read it lmao
That wtnv fic I’ve been talking about on and off for the last few months is finally finished. It’s about 6.6k of pure hurt/comfort with a milld side-dish of non-sexual medical kink (please don’t ask. there’s a lot of pseudo science involved). I’ll go over it one last time to make sure it’s edited properly but then I’m gonna set it free post it. Can’t wait, this took way too long. In unrelated news: My B.A. thesis is at 21 pages and I’ve got about 2 more weeks to bring it up to 40 and make it look presentable. Life choices, who? I barely know her.
that academia feel when you chance upon a text that single-handedly saves your word count
#my b.a. everyone#if anyone is into weirdly erotic portrayals of the poor in Victorian journalism:#Slumming by Seth Koven#it's good there's a lot of gay shit both mlm and wlw#also cringey cause victorians and their kinks are always horrible#yes I'm still kink shaming the victorians they had real issues lmao#I'm still way behind on shedule cause I've been really ill for the past week#but I can't get an extension for stupid reasons so yeah we're getting there#this book helped a bunch I got a whole new sup chapter going#and its actually still related to my topic if you squint a little#like actually related I just have to expplain it a bit#oh look I'm ranting in the tags again who knew#alright good night y'all

writing the actual bachelor thesis like
so after almost a week of anxious depression and bad food choices, I actually wrote another page for my bachelor thesis so now we’re at one and a half pages now and I know that’s nothing to brag about but hell I’m still gonna brag about it
in other news I just wrote a ballad ever so slightly related to the topic of my bachelor thesis instead of actually working on.. ye know... my bachelor thesis
I have many valid™ reasons for not having worked as much on my bachelor thesis as I was supposed to but I still feel like shit about the check-in with my advicer tomorrow because he doesn’t know about the valid™ reasons and even if I’d try to explain them to him he’d just think I’m lazy and desperate for an excuse which isn’t technically wrong either
Prof: that's still too many subtopics for a B.A. thesis
Me: yeah but what else could I cut out?
Prof: idk but how about you also include this cool thing?
Me: Uhm... that's literaly the opposite of what you just told me to do how am I supposed to narrow it down like this???
Prof: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Me: So here's this really complex idea I've got for my B.A. thesis---
Prof: Cool but why don't you write about gay victorian porn instead?
Me: ... wait what
