Peer Reviews
For every draft I write, I have to read the papers of two students in my class (anonymously). Needless to say, they are always terrible. I seriously go so in depth with my editing, it's not even funny, and it's mostly because I can't understand what any of these people are actually even saying, and also because I want my teacher to see how smart I am. Another reason is just because their horrible writing is such an affront to the English language, I can't help but get defensive.
Eventually, I get my essay back, peer reviewed, and this is when I really start to get pissed off. It's like, I'm sorry, I just can't take your advice, especially when, even in your peer review, you can't help but add "-ing" to the end of every single verb you use, whether it's currently happening or not. Also, not only can they not write essays, they can't read them, either.
ALSO: When I'm talking about how women are portrayed in the media, and you try to tell me that pornography is not a form of media, and you argue with me by saying, and I quote, "it does not mean that these women on TV really shows empowering, its only their acting role" you are probably FUCKING SEXIST!!!!!!!!!1111

you have no idea how many poems i need to write
i've never felt a love that didn't make me grateful
and i never knew that pain could make me thankful
and i never thought that what i did was shameful
but i think this would be the perfect time.
and i've never felt a love that made me feel stupid
and i never knew that pain could make you lucid
and i never believed that humanity was putrid
but I think this would be the perfect time.
and i've never felt a love that was so spiteful
and i never knew that pain was so insightful
and i never thought that i could be so prideful
but i think this would be the perfect time.
and i've never felt a love that changed me into anything
and i never knew the end would a wedding ring
and i never really could blame myself for anything
but i think this would be the perfect time.
