Between the two poems, you’ve powerfully evoked some of the hardest things about leaving home for the first time and going to university: navigating the world of dating, and grappling with the relentless academic pressure. I really enjoyed and identified with both of them. And I think the exercise of looking at end-words yields even more fruit than usual on this occasion due to the fantastic line-breaks. Especially that final “who else"?”
