silent reading

the long and annoying 10 minutes at the start of an english lesson where the class is silent reading or acting that they're silent reading whilst the teacher uploads the powerpoint. you can usually hear a lot of shuffling, muffled sniffles and whispers about how someone wet themselves at lunch.

failure to bring in a silent reading book can usually end you up with a 10 page essay.
english teacher - ok everybody, 10 minutes of silent reading everybody and i'll take the register. where's your silent reading book?
student - at home, sorry.
english teacher - that's it, the third time this week! 10 page essay for monday, is that understood?

Reading Day

The one day where you actually get to stay up late and pretend like it’s the weekend because guess what, you have no classes, and most importantly, no 8ams!!!!!!

Close Reading

When you heavily analyze someone’s Instagram post or general personal information to figure out who they are as a person/ what is going on.

Very similar to stalking but with an intellectual and analytical twist.

Like criminal minds- but taking it too far.
Friend 1 - Did you see Sam’s Instagram post?

Friend 2 - Yeah I did. It was so chaotic that I had to do a full close reading last night.

Friend 1- Did you hear that Ariana and Finn got back together again?

Friend 2- Wait what!? We need to close read this situation later so we can fully understand what is going on.
