I got a paper returned to me from a professor the other day. It got an A+ but next to the grade was a comment criticizing my "purple prose" and its tendency "to go off into hyperspace." In other words, the bullshit I write here is typical of my writing in general, yet so far it's gotten me gold stars left and right.

I have a friend who tells me that I write and sometimes talk like a pretentious twat. It's funny, because I have yet to complete my degree while he just got his.

Just keep in mind who your audience is while you're writing, and that should help.

Academics who are always trying to one-up each other by pointing out any possible flaw. It's the quality control that preserves the illusory authority of my institution.
 
I have a cold but I made $99 and change from standing outside selling cookies and hot chocolate and coffee for 6 hours yesterday. It was worth it and probably unrelated tbh since my boss and roommate both have colds.
