Welcome to the Dark Academia Tag!

Just a lovely little ask tag I found on weheartit.com. Link to the original tag is here.

Anyways! On with the tag!

Anthropology or Sociology?

These are actually two classes that I’ve taken as I’m a biology major. I’ll be honest, it depends on the day. Probably anthropology though. I love studying that sort of stuff. Sociology I find a little less interest but also a little easier to digest.

New England boarding school or Manhattan private school?

New England boarding school. I just love the thought of going to Europe. I’m a little infatuated with the idea. I just hope some cute, sweater-y school uniforms are included in the deal!

Tailored pants or collared shirts?

Collared shirts. Clearly, the peak of style.

Rowboat or bicycle?

Bicycle. Though I have a tendency to fall off of both, bicycles I find a more enjoyable means of transportation.

Red wine or whiskey cocktail?

How about sparkling grape juice because I have a feeling I’d be a light weight if I ever took to drinking.

Edgar Allan Poe or Shakespeare?

Good ‘ol Poe, being the useless goth he was. I adore his work.

Staying up late or waking up early to study?

Staying up late. All the way. I’m quite the night owl even though I don’t want to be. I’d love to be that girl. Getting up early to fix myself tea and toast but I just love sleep.

City campus or college in the middle of nowhere?

College in the middle of nowhere. Preferably covered in ivy. I’m just not a big fan of the city. I’ve always loved the more secluded, country life.

Mysterious new kid or uncanny disappearance?

Uncanny disappearance. Sometimes its nice to runaway for awhile.

Theoretical astrophysics or abstract mathematics?

Astrophysics. Math has been my enemy for as long as I can remember. I struggled all the way through algebra 2 in high school and this struggle only continued in college. I love science. Its my field of study. But that darn math is around every corner!

Notes furiously scribbled by hand or hyper-organized binders?

Hyper organized binders. My notes are sloppy and I hate them but I love organizing things.

Eerily quiet libraries or unsettlingly empty dormitories?

Eerily quiet libraries. They’re more of a comfort to me than anything. When I used to work my first job, I couldn’t drive so I’d walk to the library where it was quiet and peaceful (at least until school let out). And there I’d wait for my mother to come pick me up. It was a very nice way to spend a few spare minutes.

Gothic or neoclassical architecture?

This question leaves me torn. But I think I’ll have to say gothic. Both are gorgeous designs that I am happy to see anywhere really.

The smell of old or new books?

Old books by a mile! As much as I love the smell and feeling of new crisp pages, nothing beats aged and beloved books that have withstood the test of time. I’d rather be in an antique shop than bookstore personally.

Too-friendly roommate or too-quiet classmate

Too-friendly roommate I think. It’s always a struggle to work with someone who won’t help you in the conversation at all. And while a very friendly roommate may seem overwhelming at times, I think I’d take the conversational-ness over the dead pan stare that some quiet class mates give me when I ask them a standard question.

Secret diary or hidden typewriter?

I own a hidden typewriter so I’m definitely choosing that option. As much as I’d love to keep a diary, I’ve never been able to stick with it. I write about three entries before losing interest or getting busy. And then it collects dust only for me to return to the notebook, rip the diary entry pages out and use it for drawing or some other project.

As is with most tags on my blog, If you haven’t tried this tag, I encourage yourself to give it a shot!
