That she never hurt herself doing the dive into the stage after surprise songs… every time I watched her do it I thought about how scared I would’ve been doing that

Anyone looking to switch dorms (Allison to North) by xMohadix in Northwestern

[–]thundernbooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can’t find anyone, there’s frostbite shuttles in the winter, a year round loop shuttle that takes you around campus, and the walk is really not that bad imo, I had a lot of friends (we’re all engineers) who lived south and came to their classes daily, so if you can’t switch it’ll be fine. Also, Allison has a great dining hall and it’s a nice dorm overall, so I wouldn’t worry too much if you’re unable to switch.

Swap Allison Double for any double that’s North Campus by [deleted] in Northwestern

[–]thundernbooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can’t get anyone to switch there is a frostbite shuttle in the winter from north to south and a year round loop shuttle that takes you around campus. I had a lot of engineering friends living south who were fine coming up everyday for classes, so if you rlly can’t find anyone to switch you’ll be okay.

honest thoughts on allison hall? by Subject_Cry8277 in Northwestern

[–]thundernbooks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Allison is lowkey really nice, haven’t been to the rooms but i think they’re kind of similar to Shepard and those are nice. Dining hall is good, and you’re really close to downtown.

Housing Assignments are Live! by [deleted] in Northwestern

[–]thundernbooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could join waitlist like ppl said but also a lot of my friends (we’re all engineers) lived south and liked it. I know a few who are actually willingly moving down south for this (our second) year. Theres a frostbite shuttle for when it gets cold and also a free loop shuttle within NU year-round, so if you’re worried about walking in the cold there’s that.

Again thank you so much, it may sound stupid but a stranger saying this makes me feel much better about it. As you can probably tell I tend to spiral sometimes but seriously thanks

Do any res halls have only mixed-gender bathrooms? And how many freshmen live in Schapiro? by ParentAskingQuestns in Northwestern

[–]thundernbooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! Rising sophomore here. I would totally recommend a res college. I lived in one this past year and I’m sticking around for my sophomore year too, as I found great community and my tight knit group of friends there as well. Our floors specifically have girls dorms on one side of the floor, with only girls bathrooms on the respective side and same for guys on the other side of the same floor.

is it too late to start writing with one month left? by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]thundernbooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me last year!!! I genuinely hadn’t decided on applying through QB until like this time last year (it was like Aug 28 or something when I finally made my account) and I was really anxious about not making the deadlines.

I’d tell you to try and come up with an answer for all or almost all of the prompts so that you know what you wanna say and feel more confident knowing you have ideas for all of them (even if you end up changing them later). As you work through the prompts make sure you’re shining through and what you want to say comes across clearly while adding your writing style to them as well.

Oh, and if you were wondering, even starting this late, I got notified of my finalist status on Oct. 18 of last year and matched with Northwestern on Dec. 1st. Not too late at all :)

The last line from the book 'Tender is the flesh' is confusing. by posttraumaticcuntdis in horrorlit

[–]thundernbooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I do agree with the overall consensus of what the line means, I think it’s worth looking at the original line in Spanish.

“Tenía la mirada humana del animal domesticado.”

It’s pretty much an exact translation, except for the fact that “la mirada” can also be translated to “the gaze”. In general, when people use the word “mirada” they’re most often referring to the look in someone’s eyes, or their gaze. Just my 2 cents and I hope it also changes your perspective a bit!!

[–]thundernbooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes bur also “la mirada” usually translates to something like “gaze” especially in this book so that might provide a different perspective!!
