I think one of my biggest regrets from Wake aside from being pre-med for a semester was not majoring in Spanish. I placed into intermediate and had a ton of enthusiasm for the language, but by the time I was done with Spanish lit I had lost interest. I should have kept on with it and studied abroad in Spain or South America. I think my intermediate professor is still there, and I was on a Spanish subreddit a year or so ago and someone mentioned a book they were using, and it turned out he had helped to write it.
Juice have you said what you majored in before?
Philosophy
I had a lot of interest in Spanish too. I planned to minor in it until Spanish lit. I wish I had stuck with it, but for some reason I had no desire at the time after the lit class.
Word, that’s a tough one.
I had planned on majoring in English the whole time but when I took the Spanish placement exam and placed into I think 213(?) whatever the final required course is, and then did well in that figured I might as well keep going and majored in that as well. Studied abroad in Salamanca my jr year as part of the program run by the Spanish dept which was incredible.
I had no idea what I wanted to do in college -- I'm a glaring example of a privileged kid going to expensive private school just because I could get in, no thoughtfulness about much beyond that
in the end, philosophy taught me how to think and write much better; I'm grateful for it
but I also did not retain much in the way of understanding philosophy
CANCEL KEN GRIFFEY JR!!!!
When I actually started trying to write stuff I was only ever doing short stories so no, not really. I was very into Kerouac in high school and then I actually tried uppers and was like uh maybe I don’t have what it takes to be a beatnik
do you only write fiction, mako?
Only when he’s posting on the boards.
