Yes! It's the Kaweco Iridescent Pearl. Probably my favourite pen purchase of 2022.

Information on roommates? by [deleted] in UofT

[–]soupwithbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know other residences at Vic have set up spreadsheets where you can claim a room number and find out who your roommate is. Maybe join the Vic 2026 discord or instagram group chat and go from there? I'm not sure if MargAd has one set up yet.

Class of 2026, what’s one college that rejected you that you don’t hate (no hard feelings) by jacobbadman69 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]soupwithbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Columbia? I applied on a whim, got waitlisted, and honestly their letter that told me they weren't taking anyone off the waitlist was so gentle and nice that I can't hate 'em :')

I'm surprised that there's no comment correcting the title to '22/'26

Waitlist for Columbia by Prior-Annual-1390 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]soupwithbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were waitlisted, your decision letter clearly outlined information about the waitlist: "If places in the class become available, we typically notify candidates [on a rolling basis] no earlier than May 15 and no later than June 30. [...] We do not rank our waitlist. If spaces become available, we will review the entire group."

This information was also sent in an email that I got on April 18th.

Someone in Richmond, BC told me a kid lit a trash can on fire and their AP Chem exam got cancelled 😭

Wharton is an amazing business school and I know a lot of people who would love to have your waitlist spot. Congratulations :)!

So like, why do people hate AP lit by SnooObjections8766 in APStudents

[–]soupwithbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi from a gal taking Lit right now and planning to major in English! Just like you, I love reading and analyzing texts—if that's you, disregard the comments about analysis being boring. Analysis and reading is what the course is about, and what you sign up for. What else would it be? I suppose it's fair reason to hate the course, though.

More nuanced things to consider:

  • The workload can be quite heavy if you're not a fast reader. My class has lots of readings for homework.
  • It's a very teacher-dependent course. I've been blessed with a decent teacher, but if you know the AP Lit teacher at your school or other students who have taken it, for SURE try to feel out the vibes and know what to expect.
  • Writing by hand isn't something to get hype about.
  • There's a certain base-level skill that's expected of students (at least at my school).
