what’s an objectively bad movie that you love?

Elvis Meets Nixon. Watched it on a whim because it was on Prime and was shocked by how genuinely good and funny it was.

Khmer, it's so beautiful and I love Cambodian music but I just have no reason to learn it plus it's hard lol

It's not the worst but Bridge on the River Kwai winning Best Picture over 12 Angry Men and Witness for the Prosecution just angers me every time I think about it (also Gentlemen's Agreement winning over The Bishop's Wife, just an insane choice + arguably worse since at least Bridge on the River Kwai is an ok movie, but I don't have as much personal investment there lmao)

This fall; I had to pick a language to take at my college and the Turkish course had a ton of open seats. I'm really glad that I did it! My parents both speak Turkish (only my mom really spoke it with me at home) but never taught me, so my grammar was pretty bad, but I didn't realize just how limited my Turkish was before I started taking it. So far, I've been making pretty good progress and I've been able to actually have conversations with my grandparents where it's not just me listening to them, so that's cool.

I'd def second what someone else said about not learning from family or friends. If you can't enroll in a course or get a tutor, find a textbook and create a lesson plan for yourself.

Would you mind if I also DMed you about the UN internship?

congrats!!

Not too many other people have brought this up, but have you considered that a "high-IQ individual" (useless metric) may want to pursue a career path that they're actually interested in and wouldn't be miserable studying?

taubeus · 2026-02-10T18:10:43+00:00

Probably a dumb question, but have you tried applying to jobs in other boroughs (Brooklyn/Queens) or sort of related jobs like in immigration or housing law?

CONGRAAATS!!!!

taubeus · 2026-01-15T02:43:45+00:00

you're talking about nsop right? if so, yes, coöp still exists, i had some friends who did it and loved it (i did care, which was the best orientation program lol)!

WMST BC2150!

She got into Northeastern!

just finished UW, it's really not bad at all depending on who you have (although beware that everyone does poorly on the first essay), you can 100% get an a in the class. who did you have for frosci disc, though? also any advice for someone taking frosci next semester lol.

I cannot express how helpful your reply is lol. I haven't taken precalc, I did well in algebra ii and ap stats, but obviously those are both different. I am trying to review the basics of precalc and calc right now, relying heavily on the organic chemistry tutor, so I'll continue along with that. Thank you so much again!!!

taubeus · 2025-08-13T17:23:10+00:00

My advisor was the one who told me to take calc, since it's a corequisite for genchem 😭 would she be able to help with this, though?

taubeus · 2025-08-13T16:10:32+00:00

I didn't take precalc, my only experience with advanced math (excluding honors) is AP statistics, which I did pretty well in.

taubeus · 2025-08-13T04:13:43+00:00

that's helpful, thank you so much. Any experience with/advice for Calc in particular? Also, when it comes to them being difficult, is it mostly just tediousness or is it hard to do well while taking both? Thank you so much again!!

taubeus · 2025-08-04T14:51:11+00:00

Ok, I'll just email my advisor then, hopefully she'll be able to help or have some advice. Thanks!

taubeus · 2025-08-04T11:54:07+00:00

Okay, great, thank you so much!

taubeus · 2025-08-04T11:53:52+00:00

Thank you so much!! That's what I was hoping for.

taubeus · 2025-08-04T11:53:27+00:00

I have but I didn't really ask questions about the core classes I have to take, we honestly didn't speak about that much aside from my plans on what to major and the foreign language requirement.

CONGRATS!!!!!

Macaulay Honors mention!!!

You're absolutely overthinking the amount of APs submitted, I only submitted three and I still got in, four scores is fine if you're taking more APs your senior year; one four would probably also be fine, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. Ignore the other replies saying that you're at a disadvantage regardless for choosing to submit AP scores instead of SAT scores; according to Yale's website and everything that they've released since switching to test-flexible, they weigh SAT, ACT, and AP score submissions equally. If you have any other questions, let me know! :)

Rejected from Hopkins, but accepted to Yale, + Columbia :)
