I do. It's not "literary," so I do fear it would close a few doors on me. I was always going to be an English major but decided 100k of debt to hold the title wasn't a wise investment.
I'm also a pretty good athlete on the two-man saw team throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, almost national material.

None. I like poems a lot, though. It wouldn't be fair to choose a favorite.

Same on first 2 lines. Graduated 5 years ago; Christ time flies.

Enjoyed some of it, the reading especially, though a good portion of the time I felt like I was just spouting shit. Got a job with one of the big hedge funds in the states so I guess it worked out well from a practical standpoint.

Honestly no clue, I have crippling commitment issues and can never pick a favourite anything. Rereading a bunch of Conrad at the moment.

Now I am become bugman, the destroyer of souls. Here in the computer science lab of my third tier commuter school, I have watched the suburban rot of American capitalism poison everything sacred and literary about academic culture. This university should not exist. It is not a university. It is not even a trade school. It is a node on the great tumor of Washington, D.C., a malignant parasite that quietly feeds upon Northern Virginia's economic bloat--its congestion, its corruption, its overpaid government workers and contractors, its skyrocketing immigrant population, its feelgood unfettered liberal consumerism. The Koch brothers recently purchased the economic and law departments. They even renamed the law school. There are Islamic prayer rugs in every other building. My classmates dream of joining the ranks of government contractors like Booz Allen and Lockheed Martin who murder children, destroy the environment, bribe politicians to invade the Middle East, and illegally spy on you as you read this post. Many of them will.

But I am not resisting anymore. I am narcotized. I take my pills. I torrent Netflix original movies. I eat Chipotle. I am learning to code, meaning I too will someday soon become dependent on the region's bloat.

I have joined the Hive. And thereby, I will one day acquire the means to escape it, if it doesn't destroy me first.

>University/College
A small liberal arts school in the mid-west and Waseda University in Tokyo. (Doing degrees at both). However, there has been some accounting error, and Im not receiving any Fin-aid this semester. Even a semester without Fin-aid would put me in eternal debt, so Idk what my future is going to be like if this doesn't get resolved.
>What are you studying?
Japanese. I've taken lots of History courses, enough to either minor or perhaps double major. But I don't think I will.
>Do you like it? If not, what else?
My liberal arts school I don't like much. The social environment is too small and it feels like Foucault's Panoption there. Its basically a SJW prison. If I say something politically out of like to the wrong person, the whole school could potentially black list me. Its a prison, but I think most liberal arts schools are these days. The few friends I have made there I am very close to though.
At Waseda, I enjoy the environment so much more. But anyone who knows anything about Japanese Universities knows that the education quality (even from a supposed Elite school) is piss poor. As they say, hard to get in, easy to graduate. But even if most of my classes feel like a joke, a few of my profs are really good, and being in Tokyo is much better than being in hicksville.

>Favorite book?
I don't rightly know. I'm still young, and barely starting my academic career at that. Brothers Karamazov spoke to me in a way that I'm not quite sure any other books has, though, so for now that will be my choice. I went in thinking I would relate more to Alexei, but then realized that I'm more like Dmitry. That prompted me to set up multiple safeguards and habits in my own life to attempt to prevent my personality from getting in the way of my professional and academic goals.

Got kicked out of Oxford. Talked my way back in. Got kicked out again, talked my way back in again. Realized the root problem was I just didn't give a shit about what I was studying, and left of my own accord. Realized my one actual talent—and possibly the one thing I actually enjoyed—was talking my way out of consequences and into things I don't deserve. Talked my way into a good job which normally prefers people to have an MBA.
