do you still believe in love?
um
i still believe in me
yes! and you should switch fields if you don’t like the one you’re in.
college is a magical time when the only thing you have to do is learn new things. actual life is graded pass/fail – there’s no publication for the B+ manuscript and there’s no job for the A- interview. You get it or you don’t. an education is expensive and you should value making the most of it – not everyone gets that chance, you know?
Also later on in life, when you’re unemployed with four maxed out credit cards and a catastrophic lifeplan, you can tell your girlfriend’s parents that you went to the university of michigan and got a 3.8 and then you’ll earn minor credibility points to balance out all the other reasons why you appear to be a total loser going nowhere in life.
the feeling of smiling so hard you think your teeth might dash out and your jaw will crack and your whole face will become a double rainbow or the feeling of liking someone so much you worry you might eat her alive or squeeze her half to death or the feeling of wondering if your joints might start bursting out of your body like little yellow firecrackers or the feeling of ‘oh THIS is what life is supposed to be like, THIS is what everyone has been talking about all this time’? is it like that. if it is then i can tell you because i have been asking myself the same question lately that it will not explode. it’ll just flicker/pulse/hum/sing to itself. but the almost exploding is the point, i think.
OMG i don’t know if i want to cuddle it or eat it
