🧮 Accounting

One of our philosophy professors, whom we'll call Professor Phil, shared a personal experience during class.

Ngl it would’ve been okay if he wasn’t so full of spite, honestly.

Makes you understand why one shouldn’t study philosophy for a career.

But we’ll forever appreciate his crusty, electrocuted hair’s presence for as long as it lasts. (Only this semester pls.)

Moving on to the job that P.Phil wishes he had to this day.
