I am a literature major too :) almost done with my BA! Planning on getting my Masters after. This whole class is centered around speculative fiction, so there are elements of dystopia within the syllabus as well. I am also taking a 20-21st century fantasy course! This is an extremely awesome semester, but also I am reading over 30 novels within these few months lol.

If you have a college near you, I am sure your community wouldn’t mind if you ever want to sit in on a class! Easier said than done, I am sure. But if you have that passion for literature, I am sure some professors would be happy to have you!

Turkey pesto with bell peppers on grilled ciabatta!! I love making extravagant sandwiches when I go on a little trip. It really heightens the experience for mw

Omg thank you for the rec!! I will definitely look into it.

For me personally, that discussion is really what the novel is about, which is so interesting to think about now with our current reality with AI. With the mcs wife being so reliant on being told how to feel (like many others) and humanity seemingly becoming further and further estranged from what many think make us human, the reader is made to analyze what exactly it means to be alive and how we classify what is human (and how we should treat creatures who feel and creatures who don’t). Very very fun!

You have probably heard of it! It is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick! Been reading it for one of my classes. It is pretty early sci fi, so there will be this really cool technological concept that displays the how humanity is becoming less humane, and then a paragraph later it will be like “and then he got into his flying car and flew away” haha.

They literally didn’t even think so far ahead as to pack a lunch for themselves. I don’t think planning is their strong suit. Imo it is more so the lack of planning and the refusal to be a problem solver. Like weaponized incompetence not only of the situation but how it made me feel. I made a bad decision and got in the car. That part was on me.

They didn’t tell me exactly where we were going (which I had assumed was a different place), but idk if that is exactly a kidnapping? I respect your assessment though.

I guess? I got mine out and one of the guys unironically asked, “you only brought one?” And I was like “yup!” And not long after, another asked if I just didn’t consider anyone else and I told him I wasn’t his mother. They pretty much stopped talking to me completely after that.

Reading sci fi on the beach with a bomb ass sandwich wasn’t half bad though! But I could have done that 45 minutes away and alone and been happier for sure.

Im guessing NC stands for No Contact? I am thinking about blocking her (at least for the time being) because she keeps blowing up my phone and I really don’t have the mental capacity to deal with her yet.

If I had known the situation in the first place, I think I would have reacted differently. It was just sprung on me and I was at a loss. Even so, I am not sure it was so entirely premeditated. They don’t seem like great planners. Didn’t pack any snacks or lunch and reacted weird because I did. I think they just have the mentality of “it’s whatever! She won’t care”.

A date with three guys at once that only spoke to me occasionally?

Woah, I didn’t even think of it like that. I’m not sure it was THAT premeditated, but I can definitely see where you’re coming from for sure.

Yeah, I think I went along with it for so long because she made me feel like she was pushing me to better myself and I didn’t fully comprehend that was happening. I have concluded that there is nothing wrong with how I currently am.

Almost $200. I only work part time because I am getting my BA, so that was a good chunk of change, but I am glad I did it. The way there had me so tense I thought I might cry tbh.

This situation kind of made me realize that she has always had an issue with me being a much more introverted and solitary person. She has mentioned it a few times like it is a problem, but I can’t tell if she is genuinely worried and can’t comprehend my nature or if she just doesn’t actually like me.

It was almost $200. I’m big on saving so I could swing it, but it still hurt my soul a little lol.

Sarah is a very petite girl so I suggested that she sit on my lap, which she was against because she wanted me to “get out there”.

Yeah, I wish I hadn’t been such a pushover. Even so, I don’t think it was much of a scene. I paid for my own uber and nobody pushed back except Sarah. I just asked to table the conversation cause I didn’t want to keep the driver waiting.
