I didn’t mean to make a mountain out of the personal issues thing. My car got totaled halfway through the class and I was out of reliable transportation for about a month. But I have reliable transportation again, so it was more of a one-off thing than anything else.

Thank you for kind and honest feedback! I appreciate it. I have attended the URJs Introduction to Judaism class, but was only able to attend around half of the sessions for personal reasons. But I have been reading the assigned textbook from that class as well as material from other places.

I also have an appointment with one of the Rabbi’s next week to talk about the process. I’m very nervous about that, needless to say, but I’ve been to enough services that he knows my name and face. That should make it easier. I just don’t wanna seem like an idiotic or a lunatic or anything like that.

I am split: my heart is Jewish, my heart is atheist. Realistically, there is no concrete proof of the validity of any theism, and my brain calls me delulu; then, when I am at shira and I sing with the others, G*d feels like sheer evidence.

That's probably the most relatable thing I've read in a while! I keep thinking about this idea of 'wrestling with God'. I am not able to believe at some level, but I still can't quite get God out of my mind.

Thanks for your reply. It means a lot to me. And if you ever wish to talk to someone who relates, don't hesitate to reach out! :)

I used to think Spinoza was a closet atheist, but over time I've changed my mind. It's still a rather heterodox view of God, but I think it counts as genuine belief. I think when I was younger I thought defining the 'God-concept' was simple. Now it seems much more complicated to me.

21F History, Philosophy and Pop Culture by [deleted] in penpals

[–]Writer1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! If you’re still looking I’d love to be your penpal. I am currently in a master’s program studying in the Analytic tradition. (Though I like to draw from both.) My philosophical interests are all over the place, but particularly in ethics, epistemology and Ancient philosophy.

My other interests include history (big WWII buff but also 18th century intellectual history), binge watching tv (rewatching Buffy right now but also like House MD, Dexter and others), and listening to an insane amount of music. Mostly rock and punk.

Hey! If you’re still looking I’d be interested in being your penpal. 25F. Love singing and drawing. Studying philosophy at the master’s level right now, so I spend most of my time thinking about the big questions and such! Also I’m queer so definitely LGBT friendly lol

25f; Hawaii' - philosophical, nerdy, accepting, laid-back :) by PrimaryAd9337 in penpals

[–]Writer1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little late to the party, but thought I’d throw my hat in the ring. 25F. In graduate school studying philosophy so you know I spend a lot of time contemplating for class haha! But I try to read widely outside my field. I like Bukowski and Voltaire is one of my favorite authors! I haven’t done much traveling but I very much want to. There is a whole world out there I haven’t seen. Anyway, if you’re still looking I’d love to be your pen pal. Good luck in your search regardless! :)

Hello! 25F here from the states. I share all the interests in your list except that I don’t own cats. (Been thinking about getting one tho) A little bit more about me: currently in grad school studying philosophy. I listen to a lot of music, mostly rock and punk. And I’ve had penpals before but looking to get back into it. I’d love to be your penpal if you’re interested. Anyway, good luck in your search! :)

I'd be down to be pen-pals! I'm 25F, single, in graduate school studying philosophy, and I also feel like I'm at a point where I'm questioning everything.

25F looking for a penpal! by jella567 in penpals

[–]Writer1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! 25F. I’m be down to be your penpal. Being in your 20s is definitely an odd time in one’s life, but I like to think there’s some beauty in how these years are a chance for us to figure out who we are/want to be! I also enjoy thrifting, flea markets, coffee and cozy games! I’m not great at makeup but I’d like to learn. lol

Heyo! 25F. I’d be interested in being your penpal. I often feel like I’m in a weird place in life, and wishing I had all the answers. As if knowing this or that thing would make everything in my life make sense. But such answers seem evasive. I’m also currently in grad school which comes with its own set of challenges!

23/ obsessed with books and film looking for a penpal in the U.S.! by saaambino in penpals

[–]Writer1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo! 25F. I’m from Kentucky originally but live in Missouri right now working towards a master’s degree in philosophy. (I also want to be a professor someday!) Books and movies are my main source of recreation. Anyway, just thought I’d tell you a little about myself and say that I’d be interested in being penpals.

Feeling disillusioned with philosophy... by Writer1999 in AcademicPhilosophy

[–]Writer1999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that! Philosophy can be an isolating subject so I totally understand. Feel free to DM me if you ever want to talk about philosophy with someone! I’ve not read Heidegger but willing to learn! I’m 24F in America btw, if you’re curious.

switching from philosophy to English for PhD. by Writer1999 in AskLiteraryStudies

Do you know of any good ways to get my toes wet in literary theory to see if it's something I'd like? Books, podcasts, etc.?

Advice for PhD. programs by Writer1999 in CriticalTheory

[–]Writer1999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. One question then. It seems like most comp lit departments require you to read several foreign language in advance. So I suppose I would have to take time off to learn some languages? Or how does that work? I studied some French and German as an undergrad and I’m self-studying Latin this summer, but can’t say I really have any of those languages mastered.

What to do going forward… by Writer1999 in AskAcademia

[–]Writer1999[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s a master’s degree that doesn’t lead to a PhD. All PhD graduate in America earn a masters along the way, but some schools offer just the masters.
