Also, academic texts. Full of bullshit. You could sum that stuff up in like three paragraphs, but some old white dude is gonna ramble on using unnecessarily lavish vocabulary for three whole pages until you want to cry. 

And then the guy who wrote it has the fucking audacity to stand up in your dissertation seminar and tell you “Now remember that you should always keep your language simple and make your argument in a concise and brief manner.”

For real though, this just adds to the inaccessibility of college. I was unable to get through 75% of any assigned reading because my undiagnosed ADHD made it impossible to trudge through the swamp of unnecessary bullshit they wrote in textbooks.

I literally could not concentrate long enough to pick the facts that I needed to know out of their flowery language.
