How it feels to be doing repeated scholarship negotiations with your dream school that offered you $ by sending them offers of schools you don’t want to go to that offered you $$$$$ for them to tell you they are overenrolled and wait till the summer (yes I am very fortunate)

12 of my 10/10s (thoughts, discussion?) All ranked the same for me

The Sopranos, HBO and David Chase

Macbeth, by William Shakespeare

The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck

Better Call Saul, AMC and Vince Gilligan

Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

No Country For Old Men, by the Coen Brothers, adapted from Cormac McCarthy

Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy

Taxi Driver, by Martin Scorsese

Memories of Murder, by Bong Joon Ho - same director as Parasite, this is my personal favorite Korean movie/show as someone who has seen a lot of them

East of Eden, also by John Steinbeck

Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy

Samurai Champloo, by Shinichiro Watanabe

Edit: mini series I would put Beef season 1, True Detective Season 1, and Chernobyl

I probably have a few more 10/10s that I could think of but if asked to name my favorites off the top of my head, it’s these

Thoughts?

To be clear in points of comparison, these are to me the pinnacles of novels, plays, movies, television shows, and animanga

Hey guys, I hope everybody is having a good end of cycle.

I’m currently trying to decide which school to go to. I put seat deposits down at Richmond, Florida State, and Temple

I visited Temple and really really loved the vibes there, I just don’t know if it makes financial sense when my end goal is Public Interest and not Big Law. If cost wasn’t a factor, I think I would probably choose Temple, but as it stands right now, the financial aspect is really hard not to consider. Over 3 years, Florida State and Richmond would be between 60-70,000 less than Temple, and while I really love Temple and visiting Philly and campus, I’m just not sure which option is best when true material and financial considerations are brought into focus

If anybody has any guidance or advice (whether you go to or know people that go to Temple, Florida State, or Richmond and can speak to their experience), or anything else, I’d really appreciate

Edit post: I should clarify that I’ve put seat deposits down at all 3 schools

I’m all for criticizing the NYT’s and their coverage. Hell, I did so earlier this week on this sub by posting an article whose coverage I disagreed with. But now the front page of this subreddit is getting overwhelmed with material that doesn’t have anything to do with the NYT

Can we please institute a rule that posts have to either be NYT articles or be related in someway to the New York Times (articles criticizing the paper in someway, for example)

It is very tiresome

Honestly, I can’t believe that the Times would print this.

Minimal discussion of MJ’s victims or corroborated evidence to his crimes

I understand writing a personal puff piece over your complicated feelings regarding MJ’s fame, music, and nostalgia, but this feels beyond the pale to me

Sorry if this type of post ends up not being allowed, I just wanted to vent to someone
