thinking of how much better life would be if adverbs and cognitive dissonance didn’t exist.

I think it would be nice if instead of finding words to describe our verbs we just found better verbs; “She sprinted to the door” sounds so much better than “She quickly ran to the door”.

I should probably be paying attention in class right now.
