While Twitter is known more as a platform for heated debate and criticised as a haven for trolling, there are also some wholesome moments that bring netizens together in a way of shared experiences. A Twitter thread has prompted people to share pictures that represent their area of study or work.

The viral thread started with a Twitter user that goes with the username @artsyhwang. The tweet shows a bunch of pictures such as a poem that has notes scribbled around its corners, a page listing English literature timeline, and a page explaining forms and types of poems. This set of pictures was captioned, “pov: you’re in english literature major”. POV is an acronym for point of view.
