/lit/ - Literature

Just graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in physics. This place was miserable. I liked most professors and had a good group of friends but the atmosphere of everyone on campus is nothing but endless stress. Every year we have a streak of suicides and this year it culminated in one of my closest friends since childhood hanging himself in the math building in November. Many of my friends graduating with me unjokingly agreed that another year here would end with them in the same position.

Physics at pic related, graduating in May. Currently reading Memoirs of Hecate County by Edmund Wilson and Life and Fate by Vassily Grossman.

>tfw nobody to talk about books with except my opioid-addicted ex that moved to Europe
At least I'll get a nice cushy stem jo- oh wait, no, I majored in physics

I go to Georgia Tech and we don't fucking have one
We have a "Literature, Media, and Communications" department but none of them give the least fraction of a fuck about books and when I've tried to ask the handful of students majoring in it what the hell they're doing they've all responded that they don't know

Fourth year physics at pic related, with that combo are you going to grad school or working when you graduate? Right now as people start talking about grad school apps I lean more and more towards "join the French Foreign Legion and bleed to death in Algeria" but don't know how alumni networks track that.
Also I'm reading Germinal

My uni has absolutely zero /lit/ courses of any kind and I am coming back this semester from a nervous breakdown that nearly got me kicked out wew lads
I'm taking quantum information theory though so that's fun
