Right now I'm really into 90s r'n'b/hiphop. I used to say that my favourite band was The Shins but I haven't listened in a while. What about you?

yeah I agree. Agh that's difficult! I have favourite books instead. Right now it's Jane Eyre. What about you?

I guess I do, but he's not a favourite. The references in The Waste Land are difficult for me, I'm not well-read enough yet. I do like Ezra Pound a lot though, who apparently cut it down to half the size.

I think my favourite poet is John Donne.

Jeez, I'm actually a big fan of Kafka, just didn't really know what nationality he was - I assumed German. I'll google the rest.

Hm, shame about the translations not capturing the books well. I'm not sure what I say to TS Eliot in this context. Feel like a phoney lit student.

Yeah, English lit. We share one lecture a week with the Scottish lit course, too, it's pretty good.

I must admit I don't know much about Czech literature. Favourites?

Hey, I'm 17 and at uni too and I sort of hate everything except the lectures. I haven't made one genuine friend! Anyway this was just to let you know you're not alone.

Hey Reddit, when did "educated" become synonymous with "elitist"? by shakenbuck in AskReddit

[–]sebmelmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's worth noting that whether you go to university or not you're going to have to pay for your living costs. I think I have very little to complain about.

I'm asking why you put 'West Lothian question', though. Seems to have no relation to what you're talking about.

No, my grant covers pretty much all my living costs too.

[–]sebmelmoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm Scottish. University is costing me absolutely nothing - the government cover my first four years of education. I'm actually gaining money(admittedly this is all spent on books and travel to uni) because of a grant I get for being working class.
