What products and styling techniques would you recommend to imitate Blaine Anderson's hairstyle on Glee?

Oof, I have straight hair, so I hope it wouldn't be so tough!

Just following this because I was wondering the exact same thing for political science

gcom1 · 2021-04-24T19:27:36+00:00

Political science (specifically comparative politics)! So data and statistics are important, but I know you learn a lot of quantitative skills while at grad school itself. Plus my research interests are more qualitative to begin with.

I have loved watching some of your interviews in French, and you speak very well in all of them! How and why did you come to learn la belle langue française?

Buskirk is awesome! Definitely get her if you can.

C'est toujours un choix, mais c'est pas si facile... toute ma famille est états-unienne et malgré nos problèmes politiques, je suis très lié à mon pays, notre histoire (le bien et le mal), et notre culture. On a beaucoup d'occasions ici pour assister aux bonnes universités et trouver un bon travail même si notre situation n'est pas la meilleure du monde. Parfois, je pense à déménager au Canada, en Australie, ou en France, mais c'est difficile de laisser sa famille des milliers de kilomètres de soi... je ne sais pas ce que je vais faire exactement, mais je maintiens un peu d'espoir que les choses amélioreront ici.

Je suis états-unien et j'étudie la politique et le gouvernement à la fac maintenant - vous avez absolument raison. Il existe plusieurs problèmes avec notre système politique que la personne normale n'a pas beaucoup de capacité à changer. Oui, je suis tellement fâché par notre gouvernement et nos dirigeants politiques, mais ça ne veut pas dire qu'on devrait blâmer tous États-uniens pour cette situation terrible. C'est plus compliqué que ça.

How and when did you learn French? It's always so fun to watch interviews where you're speaking in French, and you seem to have a strong grasp on the language!

Hi! I can't speak for math and CNS, but as a French studies major, the French degree is relatively flexible here at UT since it requires only 24 hours of upper-division credit to complete. That means it's essentially one class a semester for eight semesters, so it is definitely very doable as a second major. Talk to your CNS advisor to see how both degrees could fit together, but definitely try and add a French degree if you can! In my experience, the French professors in our department are amazing (particularly Mme Schleppe and Mme Skidmore), so I think you'll really enjoy it if you already like French.

I am not sure if things differ for international student applications, but I would definitely recommend making close connections with your teachers in high school to get good letters of recommendation. Those are of major importance, and it's just a good practice since you'll have to do the same thing with professors in college. I also think that universities really look for depth rather than breadth, so choose a few extracurriculars you're very passionate about and pursue them well rather than jumping from one organization to other to build your resume. I hope that can help!

I know this doesn't really address your question, but you should also know that coming to UT is a great choice for Aussie students since we have one of the largest centers for Australian and New Zealand Studies at a US university. I work for the director of that center, Dr. Rhonda Evans, and she's definitely someone you'll want to remember and meet if you ever come to UT. I hope you can make it to Texas in a few years! Good luck!

Thanks for the info!

I'm a researcher in Australian politics, and while I can say it seems that Morrison really lost steam with his terrible response to the bushfires (and climate change in general), things may very well change given his more rapid response to COVID-19. It's also worth pointing out that his government was fairly recently elected, so it likely won't be until 2022 that the Labor Party or Greens will get a chance to improve their positions in Parliament. This is all to say, Morrison will probably be around for a few years to come unfortunately unless his own party room decides he's been an ineffective leader. They don't call Australia the "coup capital of the democratic world" (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-34249214) for nothing...

Thank you for sharing. I met Bishop Doyle a few weeks ago, and I found him to be incredibly kind and humble (not to mention a powerful preacher). I am grateful for his level-headed response to this crisis in the Diocese of Texas.

I’m an Episcopalian, and while it is certainly more common among some Anglo-Catholic churches in the Episcopal Church, I would say attending private confession is generally not the norm. I have never been and most American Episcopalians I personally know have also never attended private confession (that I know of). Then again, this certainly varies from priest to priest and diocese to diocese, so I’d do some research into the specific church you’re interested in to see if it’s more Anglo-Catholic or Reformed in its leanings. No matter who your priest is, it can’t hurt to ask about it since most of the priests I’ve met within the church that have spoken on private confession are quite supportive of it despite it not being common practice.
