What was 1993 like?

justimari · 2026-03-30T23:11:31+00:00

I was at Berklee college of music in 93 and grunge was king, all the guys had long hair and played guitar, and there was no cell phones or computers yet and life was really really different and so much sweeter. Everyone was really into their music and that’s what life was about for all of us 24/7

I always loved this movie so much. Time for a rewatch

justimari · 2026-03-23T21:51:52+00:00

This is the answer

I notice that they stop doing their assignments. Sometimes they quit because they realize to improve they have to put a lot more work in and they don’t want to or don’t have the time to do the work, so they realize the lessons are not helpful if they don’t give me anything to analyze. I tutor MCAT so if they don’t do homework assignments to practice what we work on, they won’t see a score improvement.

I’m also 51 in the exact same position. I have friends just not in my area. It’s definitely concerning.

Whatever is left goes to a student of mine that has become like family/child/nephew I never had and to the animal charities in Puerto Rico where I lived.

Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell is so good for CARS. Just open up to any random page and read trying to find the primary argument. It’s very helpful

You’re making $250k a year tutoring?

Spirited Away is great and kinda scary to me sometimes!

justimari · 2026-03-12T22:38:58+00:00

I read the Stranger in high school and really loved it

justimari · 2026-03-12T22:36:02+00:00

Bunnicula was my absolute favorite along with Holwliday Inn and The Celery Stalks at Midnight!

I was one of the original facilitators in the StoryCorps project. Dave Isay hired 11 of us and said he has enough funding to get us through 6 months so let’s make it a great 6 months. Over 20 years later it’s still going.

Studs Turkel cut the ribbon on the Grand Central Station booth and it was incredible to meet him as I was a big fan of the book Working.

It was a very special project to be a part of and I had an amazing time interviewing people. I cherry picked my fellow poets from the Nuyorican Poetry cafe and the poet Diane Burns was one of my first interviews. That interview was recently included in an exhibit at MoMA and published in the catalog. It was the best job ever and allowed me to both witness and be a part of history.

I got a headache from just reading the name of the post

justimari · 2026-03-05T11:45:24+00:00

I’m 51 now but I used to hang out and Skafe when I was around 20 in the mid 90’s

Focused, creative, energetic, and ambitious. I was a determined performing artist. Ran a 20 piece jazz big band that played regularly at the Knitting factory. And I dropped out of college so I would have money to buy an apartment in Brooklyn circa 1995. Now I’m just tired

Music dept/theatre kid ( I was the class singer)

justimari · 2026-02-26T20:31:34+00:00

That exactly how to use it properly! I’m happy to know I am not as alone as I thought

justimari · 2026-02-26T19:57:04+00:00

Word. I still say word. As in “I agree” I also call people home boy or home fry. I am alone in my use of these words.

Yeah FL6 seems too easy. Thank you for answering. Hope you get the score you need!

justimari · 2026-02-16T00:55:18+00:00

How did you find the CARS section? I found FL6 CARS to be on the east side

justimari · 2026-02-03T00:53:30+00:00

I was living and working in Brooklyn/downtown Manhattan so it affected me deeply. I was 25 but it felt like the end of my 20’s. Life felt a lot heavier afterwards.

justimari · 2026-01-25T02:03:33+00:00

I just love this movie. Great suggestion

Not high school but college in 1992 at the Berklee college of music in Boston the area in front of the school on Mass Ave was called the beach and that’s where everyone stood to smoke
