The Unraveling of our Sanity

1) Whispering curses at your homework is much more intense than speaking them aloud
2) Sniffing the testing center desks for good luck
3) Laughing to yourself at a joke that you refuse to share
4) When someone says they "killed it" you've studied chemistry for so many hours that you naturally respond, "Yeah! Like human bacteria in a chlorinated pool!"
5) You become obsessed with Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch because you figure that because you've watched their show enough you know them intimately and have a real shot with them
6) When you've been on campus so long that you feel you deserve to live there and make the display cases under the Bensen your home
7) Sunshine and food become this vague memory associated with a mother's love and home
8) When you've studied
Poetry
So much so
Your mind falls 
Into
Nonsensical rhythms
(So you sound like a wannabe Native American chief. Except you are the whitest of the white girls) 

9) When you start speaking wildly inappropriate past tense versions of words that absolutely do not exist like "Squeeze-ed"
10) When you can't remember where a word ends and you end up saying things like "bananananana" or "respectative"
11) When you read things out loud you become quietly racist. Like chemistry in an Indian accent. Or talking like Billie Piper when you're discussing politics. Any politics.
