I find it upsetting that quite a few people look down on those who go to a community college. I go to my local community college and I am recieving no less of an educatoin than those who go to big universities. I’m going here cause it’s cheaper and a convienient way to start working on getting a degree. Not only is it insulting to the students when you insult these schools, it’s also insulting to the professors who teach there. If you happen to be one of these people who looks down on us, why don’t you get off your high horse and realize there’s more to life than what college you attend.
3Athletic academia with dancers
{running with the idea from @the-pencil-apprentice I give you athletic academia from a ballerina’s point of view}
Studying while stretching before a ballet class, sitting in a split and highlighting academic articles
Sitting on the floor of a poorly-lit concrete hallway in the backstage of an opera building, earphones and wearing your warmups, reading a textbook during a rehersal break.
Your notebooks smelling of hairspray.
Passing time in the dressing rooms at performances by telling eachother Greek myths.
Explaining a physics principle to your friend while doing their hair.
Carrying tiger balm in your school bag.
Breaking in your pointe shoes while doing homework.
Wearing cut-off tights and a leotard with a t-shirt and athletic shorts over, combined with black nikes to school on busy days.
Writting essays on the stand on your day off at a longer tournament.
Studying in a restaurant in a foreign city, with your club joggers and hardcore stage makeup on.
Listening to an audiobook while sewing pointe shoes.
Icing your joints amd feet late at night, forcing yourself to focus on AP biology.
Going over Italian vocab in your head while holding oversplits.
Knowing every etude in music class from barre.
Girls in tutus quizing eachother on authors from the romantic era in the dressing room before going on stage.
Reading your notes on the bus to and from practice.
Always having a mini sewing kit on you, no matter what.
Taking a French test and laughing to yourself because of the odd familiarity of some words.
Associating a topic with the competition you studied it at.
Foot blisters bursting during running in PE.
Cracking your back in class.
1Walls are closing in
Earth is shaking
Breath is taken
Heart is speeding
Mind is escaping
Sweat running down my back
Yet you still think I am faking
How an anxiety attack fells like

0-You can start with buying a dictionary
(This is a very basic place to start. Learning the vocabulary is a necessity and will help you when you start to lace sentences together.)
-Use children’s books
(I like to use children’s books that are very simple. These can help you learn how the sentences are formed. It also can help you learn to write in the language you want to learn.)
-If you know somebody that speaks the language, ask for help
(Having someone to talk to in the language, helps you learn to be confident in what your saying. By the time you have to use the language, you will be ready to speak to people without hesitation.)
-Using online resources
(Another great way to learn a language is to use the internet. You can find online courses that can get you started.)
-Travel
(If you can, travel to a country that speaks the language. This will help you get comfortable in the language and learn about the culture. You will also get to meet new people that you can talk to when you go back home.)
-Television
(After you have the basics down, try watching a tv series or a youtuber in the language that you are learning. This will keep you entertained and learning.)
-Go back to what you know
(If you have already read a book or watched a movie/TV show, try watching/reading it in the language. You already know the storyline so this can help you figure out what they are trying to say in the story without also having to understand what is happening.)
4In conclusion:
I would love to recite and write my own poetry. But sadly I am as illiterate as a pile of rocks.
-Me, a dumbass
2I’m on spring break right now during quarantine, but honestly teachers I’d rather have school work to do than just sit around all day! So you could say that I am very bored.
0fun fact about me: i haven’t worn shorts in years. i only wear skirts with tights. why? because i have a shitty knee stuck and poke tattoo that my family doesn’t know about. it was done at my friends house when we were high as teenagers

4Oh, to be an English professor at a private college sipping tea in my study while passionately grading the creative writing assignments my dedicated students had turned in earlier that afternoon.
