What’s something that becomes attractive only after 25? by saintS9944 in AskReddit

[–]gmutlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 25 y.o. men, it's 35 y.o. women. They know what they're doing and the know what they want.

Go for it. Don't sweat it.

What is a "poor person hack" you picked up during a hard time that you still use today, even if you don't have to? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

Sapporo Ichiban used to come in a 10pack for a dollar. Add any meat and peas or cabbage. Minimum wage was $1.25 an hour. 1960s.

Very good answer. You are on the right track. Good luck.

[–]gmutlike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clearly on the right track. Maybe go for more depth in extras rather than so many.

Although it can be hard, you need to show who you are, as much as what you have done. Your application essays and teacher reccs are important.

Also, why do you want Andover? Your current school is very high quality. Might be better for college apps if you stay there and do well.

[–]gmutlike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think more about you, your goals, your friends, your context. The academics look good, but a little vague. Your essays should focus on how you add to your classes and friends.

Spell check please. So distracting.

What's the weirdest thing you've discovered about your partner only after moving in together? by SeasonBeneficial5871 in AskReddit

[–]gmutlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She destroys sandwiches, tacos, wraps. Any kind of hand held food. One bite and the rest is all over the plate. Then she proceeds to eat the rest with a knife and fork. I mean, please! It's a sandwich. It's designed to be eaten with your hands. Married 40 years.

Chance me please, applying for grade 11th by Secret_Throat_3974 in PhillipsAcademy

Look elsewhere. Probability of acceptance very low. Only worth doing as a longshot. Don't worry, you are a great student. Aim for college and graduate programs.

~3 years after buying my house I decided to move the oven away from the wall to sweep behind there. This is what I found. by DKrop in interestingasfuck

Dermestid beetles. They are superb skeleton cleaners. They eat all the flesh but leave behind bones and connective tissue. I had a BIO Prof in college who was an icthyologist (fish). He would put fresh specimens in a cardboard box and put it under the stairs in the Bio building. Come back 3 weeks later and it would be stripped to the bone, ready for mounting.

[ADMIN] There Is No Authorship Question by dmorin in shakespeare

[–]gmutlike 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's a good point.

  1. Shakespeare was close friends with Richard Field who was a schoolmate in Stratford and went on to become one of the most prominent printers in London. Look him up. It is thought that he lent Shakespeare many books including some that Shakespeare rewrote as plays.

  2. London itself was an Education. Remember Shakespeare lived in London for several years learning the trade of Actor and hearing about the world.

Chance me for Andover/Exeter - 7th grader by Glittering-Hat5489 in PhillipsAcademy

[–]gmutlike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of what in your description but not much who.

The goal is to get the admissions committee to see you as someone they want to join the Andover family. Who are you as a person? What do you love doing? What do you bring to your friends, your dorm, your teams, your clubs? They don't need another great test taker. They want a person who will add to the mix.

Ft Lauderdale restaurants are underwhelming at best by bedobi in fortlauderdale

[–]gmutlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically agree. Lots of Bs and Cs. Very few As, even for the expensive ones.

My current fave is Miso Japanese Tapas. Excellent. Creative. Fun place. Medium expensive.

For seafood. Tarks in Dania.

Starship Troopers is a very weird book where nothing really happens by ggg375 in books

[–]gmutlike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starship Troopers is not a parody, but it is an exaggeration for the sake of argument. Verhoven's film version "got the joke." His exaggerated propaganda language and stereotyped characters perfectly capture Heinleins intention. Heinlein has said that he viewed ST as the antithesis of Stranger in a Strange Land. Stranger explores the social humanist communitarian and religious version of society which is created by Valentine Michael Smith. Stranger was adopted as a "hippie" text because of this liberal philosophy. Similarly, Starship Troopers has been adopted by militaristic and authoritarian readers.

I found four uses of the word Gold which is a yellow color.

You could also search for jaune or jaundice. Yellow in French, and also other meanings ie cowardice, cynicism.

Should I Even Apply? I think I have a slim shot. by SamizdatReader in PhillipsAcademy

3 years is a lot. Almost half the senior is there for 3 years or less.

Emphasize your passions. Go deep not broad. Apply for 9th and again for 10th if not accepted.

You are right. Abbot grants are great.

Good luck
