This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Oh I flunked the fuck out of College English several times despite that not making any sense, I've always done well with words and shit, hell I'm a fucking writer.
I talked to my guidance consular about this, and she told me that sometimes professors have biases towards or against students, or just a fucking weird way of doing things, and everytime I had the same professor, so she just had me take it one more time with someone else.
Aced the FUCK out of it with no problem, so yeah.... there's negative and positve bias.... The first english teacher was a cold bitch, but the one I switched to was pretty cool and actually engaged with the material, explained what he expected from assignments, a complete 180
Yeah I was taught to write in a white upper middle class Midwestern style with an explicit push towards academic and persuasive styles. My high school prepped me for it hard. Add in a certain charisma when I write and I’m exactly who skates by in stuff like that.
And yeah that prof was firm but fair and we got on great.
