One short year of purist AP English, one long career of writing headlines for milk ads

Me at 17 from my back corner seat in my high school English class:

Cliff Notes? For WUSSIES. I am a purist, damnit. (even though I’d used them for the past 3 years) Yes, anyone who STILL uses Cliff Notes for additional insight needs to learn to come up with her OWN f-in' ideas. And anyone who uses them for the summaries? OMG, I don’t even know where to start.

Me at 32 from my front row seat in graduate school:

Don’t they have Cliff Notes for these readings? You know, just a little summary or something. This is hard.

So totally agree. Academic reading = brain hurts.
