I'm here to try out my behavior.

Marissa’s Margins: #ohmygatsby

I’m packing up my shit at my parent’s and moving next week. Currently, I’m writing my initials in all my books just in (book)case my new roomie tries to pull one over on me and claims my Kafka as her own. Anyway, as I was having my own book signing here in my room, I came across some margin notes. I’d like to share.

Italicized below is word for word what I wrote in my margins of The Great Gastby in 8th grade.

Inside cover:

Through all the shit they stayed together
