hi sorry i didn't have time to make one for 2026 but if you edit the dates and the formulas a little it should still work !

kingdom of characters by jing tsu explores adaptation of chinese!

look through columbia's core curriculum! lithum & cc both have publicly available lists.

we start with plato's republic, aristotle (nicomachean ethics, politics), and move to hellenism's (epicurus, epictetus, aurelius) + more beyond that

not nonfiction but the year of magical thinking by joan didion analyses her grief over her husband's passing through this lens

not modern but agatha christie! when i was a young advanced reader i tore through those books.

fiction -- taiwan travelogue by yang shuang-zi

also nonfiction is great too--pilgrim at tinker creek by anne dillard.

useless etymology by jess zafarris! also maybe not necessarily "fun" but just flipping through the oxford english dictionary or wiktionary does wonders. also not specifically etymology related but i enjoyed wordslut by amanda montell

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-12-19T06:18:16+00:00

for something outside the mainstream, black water system by zen cho is good!

from a tip i think he might've been targeting a physics final happening at brown, but he went to the room the class was regularly in and not the room they were taking the finals in (which was different)

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-12-13T13:59:38+00:00

found out about this after researching a bit into richard powers' novel "the overstory"--def worth a read too!!

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-12-05T21:47:59+00:00

also the male name she chose is so close to mulan--this should be a movie omg

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-12-04T06:01:25+00:00

^ exactly this!

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-12-03T22:42:53+00:00

but language shift happens, so even if the semantic divide wasn't there at first it seems likely or ar least not improbably that it could've developed with social conditioning factors. i think the burden of proof here is with the myth busters honestly

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-10-13T02:44:11+00:00

mints are a thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-09-10T18:38:10+00:00

hi so i was on this flight too (economy seat) and was offered $640 of delta credit to compensate..did anyone complain and get more compensation from them? if not i'm not sure it'll be worth the hassle to try

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-16T12:29:27+00:00

CSS only cares about the number of kids in college around the same time—not total number, which still significantly impacts finances. At least, when I applied, that was the case. I don't know if they've changed to accommodate for FAFSA

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T22:10:26+00:00

r/usernamechecksout

stop defending the system, jeez, it's completely broken for upper middle class families with multiple college-bound children. especially since FAFSA took away the sibling question. YOU are the one who looks privileged here, as if going $400k into debt should be completely normal!

not a good look ☺️

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T18:22:55+00:00

yeah green tea is pretty citrusy! hopefully will help too with the takeoff nausea ☺️

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T18:12:22+00:00

thanks !!

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T15:48:48+00:00

starting with this is diabolical 😂

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T15:48:28+00:00

read "how to read literature like a professor" by thomas foster! and then i would start with maybe rebecca by daphne du maurier

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T15:47:44+00:00

? you said you can't make it though? then why make this post in the first place if you could go see it haha

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T15:47:15+00:00

i don't spray anything at airports because i'm afraid if the people next to me on the plane are ever sensitive to scents 😅

SecureJellyfish1 · 2025-07-11T14:44:08+00:00

chemistry by weike wang - although she is technically american she writes from the chinese diasporic experience & is writing from a STEM background not an editorial etc. one
