You've seen the worn trail in the grass, connecting the Lab and the science building, and how it must have been made when tired students cut across instead of following the concrete walk?
It's called a desire path.

The desire path.

Keep your desires small if you walk on it.

That's awesome! My goal this year is to carve out an actual chapbook and I am super jealous of how easy this artist makes it look to build an entire world in a few panels.

Clicked expecting jokes about grad students; was pleasantly surprised.

I thought this was pretty cute until I got to

That one classroom.

And then I was like, oh shit.

I don't just remember that classroom, I worked in the psychology department office and faculty would try to get their classes moved if they got assigned that classroom. The room proportions were really unpleasant and the light was always wrong and yes, I'm pretty sure time moved differently there.

So it had unfavorable geometry?

This is lovely. Reminds me of Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, in an extremely condensed form.
