As a senior in college, I have finally come to the realization that tumblrs make great procrastination tools.
I SORT OF WISH THAT READING QUEER THEORY HADN’T RUINED MY EXCITEMENT OVER GAY MARRIAGE
I WOULD LIKE TO BE HAPPIER ABOUT THIS
queer theory has both ruined and heightened my enjoyment for everything

Wait why someone tell me about this today I wrote my last essay for college and I’m afraid I’m going to get dumb and lazy is it because marriage is an institution or what?
I also haven’t slept in two days, but wait, why?
Each one of us in this room is privileged. You have a bed, and you do not go to it hungry. We are not part of those millions of homeless people roaming america today. Your privilege is not a reason for guilt, it is part of your power, to be used in support of those things you say you believe. Because to absorb without use is the gravest error of privilege.

Sociology
- Q: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around--
- Marx: Bulldozers. Bourgeoisie bulldozing forests to make a profit.
- Durkheim: Maybe the tree felt some anomie and committed suicide.
- Foucault: I may have seen it fall.
- Weber: There's going to be paperwork about this.
- Mead: Am I the tree and everyone else is the forest? How does the forest see me? How do I see the forest?
- Cooley: ^^ Ditto.
- Mills: You can't look at the tree without looking at its interaction with the forest. I wrote a whole book about it.
- Parsons: The falling tree serves a function in nature.
EXPLAINING THE MODERN URBAN INDIVIDUAL: OR, WHY ALL MY FRIENDS ARE ASSHOLES
The working title of my social theory term paper.
Today one of my favorite professors kissed my other favorite professor’s baby and I think my ability to feel any more emotions is permanently gone for forever.
