i cannot take studying in public seriously because i'm reading frankenstein and it's not exactly a happy nor humorous book yet there are tears in my eyes as i try not to giggle at my annotations all around the book that range from 'The creature is just as blind to his own destruction that he brings as victor is and refuses to take accountability' to 'yaasss vegetarian king'
