alternatives to writing an academic thesis and handing it in for a grade:
- just a really long stroll together with your professor where you talk about all the things you've read and the thoughts and conclusions you've made on this topic
- interpretive dance to illustrate the points you've made and the way you've gotten (t)here
- conceptual art project where you turn in a portfolio of artworks in different medias illustrating the theme of your thesis and the different angles one can look at the issue, could be shown as an exhibition as well
- musical piece where the combination of different tones and harmonies symbolizes different ideas and concepts

“With the beginning of summer I grow sad. One would think that the brilliance of summer hours, however harsh, would seem sweet to someone ignorant of his own identity. But that’s not the case with me. There is too sharp a contrast between all that exuberant outer life and what I feel and think, without knowing how to feel or think – the perennially unburied corpse of my feelings.”
— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
