Brooklyn Nine-Nine is made up of humour, great characters, and sassy one-liners. The show is full of great moments that can fit in a creative writing degree context.<\/p>\n
Here are 10 Brooklyn Nine-Nine GIFs that sum up being a creative writing student at uni.<\/p>\n
In high school, it was super rare to find someone who liked writing. Now you\u2019re studying a course devoted to creative writing, so you\u2019re surrounded by people who love the same thing as you, have the same weird habits, and just get the pain of writer\u2019s block and cutting down words.<\/p>\n
\n
Uni and drinking alcohol go hand in hand. As a creative writing student, you like to think of yourself as a bit more sophisticated than everyone else. Instead of drinking goon straight from the bag, you like to drink fancy wine from a wine glass. It makes you look like an intellectual. You soon realise wine is super expensive and you can only afford the cheap stuff. No one will know, right?<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve poured your heart and soul into a piece to be workshopped by everyone in your seminar, and you think it\u2019s pretty polished. Only for them to tell you that you need to make a drastic change such as getting rid of the protagonist or telling the story in another character\u2019s point of view. Now you have to rewrite the whole thing.<\/p>\n
At the beginning of every new class, everyone has to introduce themselves, say what they\u2019re studying, and a fun fact about themselves, or what they want to be. You\u2019ve been asked this hundreds of times before. It\u2019s super awkward, and don\u2019t want to answer it again. You don\u2019t want to share any more personal facts about yourself.<\/p>\n
\n
Thanks to your editing class (and your course), you now know all of the copy edit rules and nitty-gritty grammar rules. You automatically pick up on any little grammar mistake anywhere, ranging from people\u2019s speech to advertisements. And you can\u2019t help but point it out, and people think you\u2019re annoying for it.<\/p>\n
You get an assignment to write a short story for class. But you feel so inspired by the idea with so many subplots, so you start writing a novel. You go way over the word limit and instead of a three-page short story, you\u2019ve got a giant stack of paper that resembles more of a novella or novel.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve got a short story assignment due at the end of the day. You\u2019ve got massive writer\u2019s block because yesterday you had to submit a novel chapter and the day before you had to submit a creative non-fiction piece. Your creative brain is fried, and you can\u2019t think of anything new. You\u2019ve got massive writer\u2019s block.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve had to write a short story, a chapter from a novel, and a creative non-fiction piece all in one week. You\u2019ve had no time to work on writing your novel because you have no spare time and you\u2019ve just used up too much of your brain. You can\u2019t speak or spell in English anymore.<\/p>\n
Not only is it about your writing, but it\u2019s also about learning how to network. Networking can help get you to higher places and fast. You\u2019ve been so focused on writing that you have no idea what to say or do, and you don\u2019t know how to talk to proper adults. Can\u2019t you just stay in your room and write and the social stuff can magically sort itself out?<\/p>\n
\n
You realise getting a job in the publishing industry is super hard. It\u2019s way, way harder than you thought it was going to be. And you\u2019re not going to be able to make a living from being a writer \u2026 not yet, anyway. So you\u2019re going to need to get a normal person job. Where do you even start?<\/p>\n
