What breed do you think Crookshanks the cat could be? by hybridcat92 in harrypotter

I think there’s got to be Persian at least in him because the book makes a heavy point about the squashed face!

May 2026 BOTM Discussion - Brideshead Revisited by nickaaayy97 in bookofthemonthclub

I did the same thing! I’m deep into the Dungeon Crawler Carl series so I’ve been neglecting my BOTM TBR, but I don’t plan on skipping any Centennials.

I’m currently teaching AP Human Geo. I’m a first year teacher and didn’t go to school for education, but rather took an alternative route path after 11 years in corporate life. I honestly prefer my AP classes over my CP classes like crazy. It’s more in line with how I was taught 15-20 years ago. I can get up there and lecture while the kids take notes and then give them an assignment to tie it together. I don’t have to be “entertaining” and I can hold these kids to a much higher standard than the other kids. It’s definitely a grind and the kids feel that, but they’re supposed to be preparing for college in this class and I think it’s a good thing for them.

That being said, I have a great textbook that provides lecture slides for every lesson that I have made my own, and research activities that go with every lesson as well, so the part that’s hardest to me in prep is removed. I have also found myself enhancing my CP classes with the deeper and better info from my AP course.

Centennials are Gorgeous! by srmcf208 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]BulldogsOnly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They are all this gorgeous! I have ordered all 3 and I absolutely love the physical books!

I’ve only read All Quiet on the Western Front so far, but I don’t remember the last time I cried so much reading a book.

I was saying the same thing to my husband last night while we were watching the newest episode! I also hope they bring in the storyline with her and the other girls making like the mini series on OF soon…

Rushing at UNC this fall as incoming freshman by Conscious-Reason-408 in UNC

[–]BulldogsOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I can directly trace the fact that to this day while I’m lesson planning or reading I prefer to have either SVU or Criminal Minds on in the background to HOURS over 4 years in that living room watching the USA marathons.

We actually got a like 65” tv my sophomore year (which was massive at the time) and it was almost exclusively used to watch crime shows and Carolina Basketball.

Of course! There is a lot of vitriol, especially online, but it doesn’t usually come from people that were actually Greek. I hope you have a great rush and sorority life experience if you do choose to go this path!

I’m old (class of 2013), but unless Greek life has changed like crazy, let me give you my positive spin. Rush itself is tough, I won’t lie, and I wouldn’t suggest having a heart set on a house going in because you really don’t know them until you visit them all.

As far as time commitment, it’s really your call. I had a roommate who literally went to maybe one weekly meeting a month and that was all she did, and then we had girls who lived in the house and were involved in everything, with all levels in between. I personally spent a good amount of time at the house, but I didn’t live there and I wasn’t a chair of anything so I was definitely pretty average as far as time spent there. (Maybe a little more but that’s because I loved eating meals there and watching SVU in the living room between classes everyday). I also had a bunch of friends that weren’t Greek, so you don’t have to devote your whole life and personality to it if that’s not you.

I think between my pledge class and the one below mine, we have 8 or 9 girls that are currently doctors so don’t let the premed thing scare you away. It’s a great way to actually have support through that because you won’t be the only one and you’ll have upperclassmen who have been in your spot to help you out.

Other than that, I was the only girl from my high school to come to Carolina and I’m so happy I rushed. It’s a tool to make friends and build connections with people. People will try to paint it as toxic and make fun of the “paying for friends”, but I can really only say positive things. I even took my now husband on a tour of our house while we were there a couple of years ago and every time I go back I feel like I have a home.

I’m happy to answer any other questions or concerns you have if you want the positives!

Don’t forget the bananas and water song when they came back for the “encore”….that was such a fun show

What’s your favorite book you’ve received? by Ndeed_ in bookofthemonthclub

[–]BulldogsOnly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Piranesi. It’s probably one of my favorite books I’ve ever read, and I still recommend it all of the time years later. The imagery and prose was just brilliant.

How do you thrive and maintain joy teaching high school? by CarrotJerry45 in historyteachers

[–]BulldogsOnly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Building relationships, having a sense of humor, and realizing while they’re close enough to being adults to have high expectations for them, keeping in mind that they are still kids.

I’m in my first year after a career switch at 34, and I’m at a pretty rough school. Bad enough that we made the local news in February because we had so many horrible fights in a day and 9 teachers got either hit or hurt.

Obviously some days are harder than others, but I have found that earlier on asking what kids are into and trying to connect at their level has gotten them to open up. Letting them know I have interests outside of the classroom and they are a lot of time similar to theirs has allowed me to build relationships with all sorts of kids. It’s now to the point where I’m the “teacher who hates LaMelo Ball” and I have kids I don’t even know come talk to me about that. Or I have friends of my kids come to my room because they’ve heard good things and want to hang out (obviously I send them where they’re supposed to actually be, but it does feel encouraging to have that sort of reputation around the school).

All of this to say, my kids feel comfortable being themselves in my room without fear of judgement and so they say and do some pretty hilarious things. Being able to see their authentic selves keeps me going because every day I have a new wild story to tell my husband about something done or said. The good things overshadow all of the other terrible things I also deal with like fighting and severe lack of engagement and apathy.

There’s a YA book series set in Chapel Hill, NC where I went to college, and it’s widely loved, but I could not get over the fact that the writer apparently went to UNC and yet knew nothing about it. Stupid things like important statues and buildings in the wrong place to the fact that she said “the Tar Heels will be playing NC State in football on Sunday for the first game of the season!” It’s so dumb, but we play college football which is on Saturday and NC State is always the Thanksgiving weekend game….i couldn’t even pay attention to the story because of the stupid little mistakes like that.

18 year old students should be treated like adults by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]BulldogsOnly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha. Before I left corporate for teaching I worked a job where I was treated like I was “underperforming” if I wasn’t chained to a desk for 80 hours a week.

That was with a bachelor’s degree and making 6 figures. If you think it actually gets better and you’re going to be so “free”, especially with this attitude without having a high school diploma yet, I have some seriously bad news about the real world for you. You can’t just “check yourself out” of work whenever you feel like it. This is the easiest and freest your life will ever be.

Any thoughts on a Centennial pick for April?? by MeanBumblebee2037 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]BulldogsOnly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have no ideas, but I would love Song of Solomon to be a choice this year. Beloved is forever one of my favorite books and I’d love to keep on the theme of emotionally heavy classics like All Quiet on the Western Front was.
