Brown University (2023-2024)

[hidden heart]

💀

[mystic meteor]

oh true also that 💀 you right

[warm ginkgo]

that is obscene

[hidden heart]

can you believe i'm paying 92k usd a year

[mystic meteor]

numerous us dollars

[rich mist]

The COA is crazy

Was 92k for me

[hidden heart]

it's fucking stupid especially if i'm not gonna make nearly that return in the next 5 years

[hidden heart]

which school?

[rich mist]

Cornell

[warm ginkgo]

that is actually insane. for me its about 43k a year including tuition, room & board, travel, etc.

[hidden heart]

oh shit i thought cornell was lower than brown

[warm ginkgo]

i cannot fathom 92k usd a year. i think at that point id literally turn down an ivy

[hidden heart]

also our projected rise is about 6% per year so in 2 years i'll be paying more than 100k

[hidden heart]

international student so oh well

[warm ginkgo]

even the 43 per year is a lot for my family, but at least tuition is frozen. and my dorm next year is actually cheaper than this year

[rich mist]

Perks of being poor is the aid 😭👍

ok hi i had to drive home

I got a full ride

[mystic meteor]

im going to fockin record a revolutionary etude

[rich mist]

shit feels surreal

[warm ginkgo]

im in the lovely part of the middle class where i get 0 need based aid but also cannot afford college

🤠

[mystic meteor]

[hidden heart]

modern day US things

[rich mist]

Damn sorry to hear that

[mystic meteor]

the shit ending

[rich mist]

noooo

[hidden heart]

HI BROWN '28

[rich mist]

i got more finaid than my family expected so i’m happy about that :D

[mystic meteor]

and then there are my parents who claim "upper middle class"

[void igloo]

i struggled so hard to get financial aid

[mystic meteor]

absolutely blind bastards

[void igloo]

i am certain i got rejected by so many schools just bc i put need aware

on my app

it's a huge factor

[mystic meteor]

😔

[warm ginkgo]

it is what it is, we're making it work but thats why im personally trying to degree in 3. it'll make it less of a burden for me/my family

[mystic meteor]

gigachad

wow i had a fear that i was coping when i had the thought that "if you get rejected or deferred, nothing changes" but i wasnt, apparently
the world is still spinning as i had assumed it might 💀

[fair jasper]

when I got rejected Penn nothing changed at all

idec anymore

[hidden heart]

when I got rejected Penn (I didn't

[mystic meteor]

nice.

idk it's like brown has released my hand to go find a new dance partner fr do u know what i mean

[rich mist]

redirection ‼️

[mystic meteor]

not redirection im getting blueballed

idk i have regrets now like "oh what if i EDed northwestern" or stupid stuff but i know i did 0 wrong

it's time to go analyze duke's dining halls to figure out how to craft the why duke essay

[vestal lava]

[hidden heart]

Luck explain yourself

[vestal lava]

[round sluice]

got rejected while we were setting up for a meeting of my school’s improv club, and literally yelled “ladies and gentleman, meet [high school name]’s newest ivy league reject!!!”

[lament moat]

[terse oyster]

icon

[crisp pagoda]

[hidden heart]

😭😭😭

[gilded haven]

@hidden heart hey sorry if i got in ed what date do i have to withdraw all my other applications

[dapper mango]

[lament moat]

[little snow]

[gilded haven]

i lowk cant find bu’s withdraw button

i swear they’re hiding it

[hidden heart]

you can wait a few days but do it asap

[gilded haven]

ok ty

[merry pelican]

sigh* I got rejected too

[last idol]

What do I do with a defer lmao

Like nothing? I just wait?

[hidden heart]

Send in LOCI and etc I think

[gilded haven]

i swear if this is a mistake

[vestal lava]

Send in LOCI and apply to other schools

[rich mist]

gonna withdraw tmr i think

im so tired 😭 i went from having a full mental breakdown & argument w my parents at school this morning to frolicking and getting accepted this afternoon

finally a W to proceed to winter break

[hidden heart]

you've really had a day of ups and downs!

so final stats is 14.4 acceptance and 16.8 deferral

[rich mist]

Oh srsly 💀 uh oh lemme do that rq

[rich mist]

this has been my week:

i can name an event for everything on this graph except my final acceptance

[little snow]

.

[rich mist]

whoops didnt see that

[mystic meteor]

i'm adding more t20s. i'm not a fucking pussy.

IM BALLING OUT :letsfuckinggo:

we don't need loci right

[mystic meteor]

fr getting the more selective pool than dartmouth ED....

(probably)

[rich mist]

the dartmouth thread looks like a bloodbath compared to the brown thread tho 😭

[mystic meteor]

💀 ye that's why i said probably

usually ED dartmouth is like 2x more free than ED brown but i'm a little apprehensive looking at those results

bc the ppl EDing to dartmouth on a2c are most likely not rando trolls

[viscid mauve]

has the brown 2028 discord been made??

[void igloo]

probably

[rich mist]

Brown released #? Or is this just on A2C

[mystic meteor]

where's my fucking deferral clan

[lament moat]

i think it was sent to counselors

[rich mist]

Oh ok

[mystic meteor]

they thirsty already

💀

it's been less than 24 hours man

[lament moat]

for current brown attendees, is freshman roommates randomly chosen? or can we pick roommates if we want to?

[rich mist]

i am going to celebrate (happily play some pointless genshin impact tonight)

Might get on Genshin for the first time since I quit 4 weeks after release 💀

[mystic meteor]

i am going to cope (league of legends)

[rich mist]

(To celebrate ofc)

[red nimbus]

LMAOOO ME TOO i quit so long ago

[mystic meteor]

mf wtf i quit genshin over a year ago why didn't i get in

quit it too early fr.

[rich mist]

I guess Genshin Adventurer Rank was factored into the holistic Brown admissions process

According to my sources

real

ar 57, player since 1.1 🔥

[mystic meteor]

they'd be mad if they knew i play league so

[rich mist]

I was ~ar 34 and quit when they released the orange hair guy with the water

[mystic meteor]

🤨

[rich mist]

My laptop was too bad for league so I’ve only played the mobile MOBAs 💀

[mystic meteor]

💀 install today and we play

i get shit fps too idk why

my computer isn't even ass

[rich mist]

Arena of Valor… Vain & Glory… Mobile Legends… THE POKEMON MOBA

[mystic meteor]

POKEMON UNITE

wait u have squirtle pfp

[rich mist]

Yes lmfao

[mystic meteor]

expected.

[rich mist]

Representing the best starter (im ready to be flamed)

[mystic meteor]

Yeah your ass is wrong.

[rich mist]

Well statistically the best starter I mean 🤓

Mudkip is better tho lowkey

Wow great conversation we’re having about Brown University

brown university gamers

my headphones are broken we're so over again

[daring kite]

Rejected

[rich mist]

Brown ESports

[rich mist]

Sorry to hear that 😦

Keep your head up, lots of more fish in the sea

[mystic meteor]

FELLWO NON-ACCEPTED BASTARD

🤝

firm handshake, pat on the back, hot cup of coffee, lots of essays to wri-

And three months of waiting.

[lament moat]

@hidden heart @faint wadi sorry for ping

[daring kite]

At least I got into santa clara today which i like

[mystic meteor]

[drowsy cobalt]

Which SCU was today?

[daring kite]

Do they do them separate

[faint wadi]

[trim void]

Does anyone know if there are any groups for accepted students? On Facebook or any messaging platforms, etc.

[lament moat]

wait why?

[dapper mango]

wait how many ppl got deferred here?

[drowsy cobalt]

https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2023/12/brown-admits-144-of-early-decision-applicants-to-class-of-2028

[dapper mango]

oh damn 17%

[somber oasis]

I GOT IN!!!!!!

[vestal lava]

420 late

but nice

[mystic meteor]

@hidden heart is it "bad faith" if i force myself to get excited about other schools but genuinely end up excitred

the way i write my essays is that i fully put my emotions in

[somber oasis]

Yeah I took a hike and meditated and then opened it

[mystic meteor]

so i'm researching dartmouth rn and i'm uncovering some exciting things about it

course offerings, atmosphere at the school, etc.

[vestal lava]

apply to Harvard bro

ill review your essays

[mystic meteor]

i already wrote them but they're shit

it's w/e

also discord is so ass

man FUCK brown for making the choices program

like it's lowkey good but FUCK them for making an actual exam at the end

😭

[reef storm]

what did you guys do your video supplements on!! is it okay to just sit in front of the camera and talk instead of making those super elaborately edited ones you see online...

[vestal lava]

it’s definitely "ok" to do that

idk if it’s optimal though

[dapper mango]

i mean i did it but i got deferred so idk what to tell you lmaooo

i submitted a video of me in my room showing off my book collection and rating my favorite ones

[dense mural]

did not do it

[hidden heart]

yup! they have a form you fill to assign you someone and it works well most of the times, but if not you can switch

[lament moat]

thank you for letting me know!

[lament moat]

i talked about art, food, and reading

[hidden heart]

it started as bad faith, but bad faith can turn into good faith

[hidden heart]

so y'all can both mind your own businesses but also learn to appreciate a different worldview

[hidden heart]

there's a discord for that!

brown esports (BEST) is the biggest club on campus 💀

[lament moat]

ohh i see

[hidden heart]

it's good imo

but then again you might like someone similar enough

[lament moat]

yes true

[hidden heart]

it will work out!

(think i might stop using this account for a while - feel free to message me here and ask for my primary account!)

[dapper mango]

omg they pretty much deferred all the qb ed kids 😭

[crisp pagoda]

JUST NOTICED YOU GOT ACCEPTED OMG!!!! GO GET THAT DUAL DEGREE

[gilded haven]

congrats all!

[rich mist]

rd time

[lament moat]

YASSS

[rain owl]

how tf do I write the 50 word bronw essay

[last idol]

Like a Boss

Should I write a LOCI after the RD deadlines pass and I have a second to breathe? Or do they view the speed at which you send the LOCI as a factor?

[vestal lava]

They don’t care

[carmine verge]

hi! is there anyone here who has familiarity with brown's archaeology program? i would love for some input! thinking of applying ed.

thanks!

[mystic meteor]

bro ed results are already out

u missed the train by over a month and a half

[iron sandal]

they’re a junior

[mystic meteor]

O H

my brain is approaching critical mass

[heady root]

we really at the point where juniors are worrying about ed 😭

tbh i kinda was too

[dapper mango]

ngl junior year i didnt even think i was gonna ed

but here i am after my brown ed deferral

[mystic meteor]

🤝

[iron sandal]

I mean when are you supposed to think about it then?😭

start of senior year is too late bc that’s when it’s due💀

closer to end of Junior year is prob best tho not THIS early

[fiery night]

I decided during the summer

[heady root]

yeah u right

i kinda figured mine out end of junior year but i was always thinking about it for the most part

[carmine verge]

sorry ill delete my message if it's freaking people out 😭 for context if you have an older sibling, you start thinking about college EARLY. i probably thought about where to ed like freshman year lmao

[heady root]

yeah this is fax

i’m the older sibling tho

and my sister is already thinking

[fiery night]

Same and my brother is 10 💀 college tours really got to his head

[heady root]

😭

[sly yacht]

Deferred harvard

Brown my new savior

🙏

Anyone got in ed?

[fiery night]

Check pins

[vestal lava]

What a fake

[mystic meteor]

my god

the more i look at other schools the more i realize how based they are

https://tenor.com/bvEz2.gif

thank you brown for letting me go be excited about other places

[vestal lava]

sounds like copium

[rich mist]

Rayleigh

[mystic meteor]

it can't not be based when there's a guy whose job is to teach about video games after having studied piano and english at stanford and getting a phd at harvard

how can i learn this power

if only i had a SHRED of his power

a SINGLE CRUMB of his based

[vestal lava]

Who

[mystic meteor]

william cheng

😭

https://faculty-directory.dartmouth.edu/william-cheng

he's so fucking based

he just plays VNRPGs

bastard wakes up, eats, washes up, analyzes tsukihime as his day job, doesn't elaborate, goes home, and repeats

[vestal lava]

dang jack of all trades

im him

[mystic meteor]

this guy is genuinely the goat

[vestal lava]

he’s me

[rich mist]

Almost as based as Toji

[mystic meteor]

he's

he's more based

waht the fuck man

you do all this and you just talk about video games

how do you even become this goated

is this real

HE'S THE FUCKING CHAIR

i cant

idt i've stanned a faculty member before but here we are

[vestal lava]

maybe he’s just really good at music

it’s like math

if you’re really good at like usamo

you can branch out to other areas and competitions

and do it all

same here

[mystic meteor]

he is

his piano-ing is very beautiful and expressive

as one might expect

like how fucking wild would it be to be his student/colleague

💀

bro is just the goat idfk

[vestal lava]

Stop glazing

[mystic meteor]

ur mad ur not as based as him fr

[steep wasp]

yeah my brother's 16 and his dream school is purdue

[carmine verge]

my dream school was yale but it's getting more unrealistic by the day so brown is looking more and more appealing 😭

[white summit]

hey sylvia how's the public health department at brown! thinking of applying to public health+educational studies

[gilded haven]

@hidden heart hey, for schools ive already been accepted into, do i have to let them know i wont be attending if i was accepted to brown under the ed plan

[heady root]

brown seem kinda chill might apply rd

dartmouth too

all the other ivys seem kinda lame tbh

imo

[hidden heart]

it's really good! that's an awesome combination, good luck :)

[hidden heart]

yes! you have to notify them that you won't be attending and withdraw all other applications (as well as not send in more)

[white summit]

thanks sylvia!

[hidden heart]

no problem!

[white summit]

yeah brown sounds amazing. no core curriculum+ good public health & other majors+ chill community its so fire

[hidden heart]

you can hold out some offers longer as a bargaining chip for financial aid if they're not giving enough i think? so yeah

[hidden heart]

it is amazing (even though the flu gets everyone sick like every 2 weeks)

[mystic meteor]

im so fucking tired of writing essays bro

"how are you different"

i am statistically above average height for a korean-american amab homo sapien

[vestal lava]

bro

nobody cares

keep applying

these next two weeks could decide your next 4 years

better to just lock in

[mystic meteor]

true

firmly convinced that im going uiuc liberal arts but w/e

[hidden heart]

that's not that bad

[hidden heart]

i'm league silver and i'm korean.

[mystic meteor]

no wait but i'm league gold.

WIN?

nevermind i'm getting harassed

remember friends, turn the chat off before playing this video game

[sly yacht]

Avg league chat

Surprised no death threats kek

[valid magnet]

Hi guys I'm applying rd which software (not imovie) did yall use for your videos

[steep wasp]

i made a video for uchicago using inshot

[dapper mango]

capcut 💀

[sacred nest]

should i apply to brown with 2 weeks left till the deadline

[dapper mango]

dont see why not

[hidden heart]

was not aware that brown had an appeal process

[mystic meteor]

what

🐸

[void igloo]

most unis do

[hidden heart]

yale didn't when i did rea last year.

[void igloo]

i know for a fact all ucs do

& that harvard does

[hidden heart]

yeah

pointless though imo

rejection is rejection

[void igloo]

some rare cases

[hidden heart]

no means no

[void igloo]

if i got rejected from cornell i would have appealed my decision for example

[hidden heart]

why

[void igloo]

because my interviewer was terrible

& incredibly rude, holding immense bias towards veterans

[hidden heart]

hmm

[mystic meteor]

[void igloo]

so yeah i would have appealed, but i didn't need to so

[hidden heart]

i dunno, i think colleges are the ones with power in this dynamic and appealing is pointless

[mystic meteor]

worth a shot

unless it takes a lot of time

[void igloo]

no i don't care about the decision, ultimately it's to show i believe i was unfarily treated you know?

at least that's how i saw the appeal process as being

[mystic meteor]

send that message 🗣️

[void igloo]

anyways

[vestal lava]

you’re just making shit up

That’s if you get caught for cheating

[void igloo]

https://askmssun.com/uc-freshman-appeal-guide/#:~:text=Each UC campus offers a,processing of your appeal submission.

[void igloo]

nvm then harvard does not

but all ucs do

[vestal lava]

ye and that’s why they suck

[void igloo]

i got waitlist rejected

ik the pain lil bro

[vestal lava]

honestly

sounds like a skill issue

jkjk

[void igloo]

yeah ur right LMFAO

[void igloo]

if you went to harvard

that'd be really fucking hilarious

[vestal lava]

i go to bark lol

berk

[void igloo]

LMFAOOO

[vestal lava]

[void igloo]

[vestal lava]

[void igloo]

[vestal lava]

Gtech v

[void igloo]

[vestal lava]

You’re repping their mascot tho

[void igloo]

THAT ISNT A BEE

WELL IT KINDA IS

BUT ITS A GUINEA PIG

[vestal lava]

[void igloo]

DRESSED AS A BEE

[vestal lava]

it’s a fucking rabbit

[void igloo]

[vestal lava]

Guess

im asian

[void igloo]

if u say cs i will make judgments

[vestal lava]

male

[void igloo]

now i'm not one to stereotype

[vestal lava]

but

[void igloo]

so tbh i have no idea

[vestal lava]

say it

I know what you’re thinking

[void igloo]

but my guess will be cs bc ur rude af and i love it

[vestal lava]

bruh

[void igloo]

only a cs major can be that rude

[vestal lava]

yeah that’s right

but also fuck you

[void igloo]

yeah so holy shit ur cracked af

u also don't shower

fuckkkkkk

[vestal lava]

no

i do

bruh

why do you think im so dumb

i wash the knowledge off

😵‍💫

[void igloo]

actually that's a good analogy

[vestal lava]

got lucky

[void igloo]

you know

i'm looking for a UI/UX designer

for my start up

[vestal lava]

lemme guess you pay $0?

[void igloo]

but man these little fuckers at berkeley cs they're unfindable

[void igloo]

come on i'm better than that

[vestal lava]

$1?

[void igloo]

small salary + part of option pool

[vestal lava]

😐

[void igloo]

more like $20 an hour

[vestal lava]

[void igloo]

[hidden heart]

i'm sorry to hear that

[void igloo]

thank u

i am too

[vestal lava]

😐

[ebon moth]

For anyone that goes to brown, how does the student government work?

So far, I've found the class coordinating board, undergraduate council of students, and undergraduate finance board

Oh and also the SGA elections chair

[vestal lava]

Yeah

That sounds about right

[wide bane]

there's CCB, UCS and UFB but they all do different things

CCB just does events and stuff

UCS is like SGA

and UFB attempts to manage the moeny for student clubs and allocate it but they're really bad at it

[ebon moth]

Lmao

[wide bane]

they spent all our money

[ebon moth]

I'm in stuco at my school so this seems rlly interesting

[ebon moth]

Oh

[wide bane]

and there were huge budget cuts this year bc of it

so "spring weekend" is now gonna be 1 day

[ebon moth]

Yikes

They allocated all your money to clubs?

[wide bane]

no but like they had a budget

and it carries over

it's the money from the student activity fee students pay as part of tuition and fees

its like 385 per year

and they had leftover money bc covid

so they spent so much last year

and then didn't have enough for this year

[ebon moth]

Ohhh I've gotcha

[wide bane]

https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2023/09/clubs-face-lowered-budgets-after-ufb-spends-full-surplus

[ebon moth]

You'd think there'd be some common sense not to spend all your surplus money

[wide bane]

yea

[ebon moth]

1.5 million is crazy

[wide bane]

welp

we can't all have wharton to guide us

[ebon moth]

And that's an L to all the clubs who request funds

[wide bane]

yup

[ebon moth]

Yikesss

[wide bane]

luckily the brown daily herald doesn't get any money from brown 😎😎😎

[ebon moth]

lolll

Welp, ty for giving me an essay idea

jk jk

[wide bane]

LOL

[ebon moth]

I'm not a huge fan of finance

[wide bane]

me neither

[ebon moth]

But CCB does sound cool

I found their website

And all they do is plan events

So I'm down for that

step 1. Get accepted

[wide bane]

yeah they have some pretty cool onces

ones

but i got waitlisted for ANOCH

a night on college hill

[ebon moth]

oh i was just reading abt this

[wide bane]

didn't think i'd get waitlisted for anything if i hadn't by the end of senior year

boy was i wrong

it's ok CCB ppl are nice and they do a good job

[ebon moth]

lollll

are the evnts usually like that?

[wide bane]

nah

[ebon moth]

with a waitlist

[wide bane]

there was just limited capacity on the quad

[ebon moth]

gotcha

[wide bane]

it was under a tent

they have this stupid fucking tent they put up for everything on the simmons quad

[ebon moth]

😭

[wide bane]

admitted students day, family weekend, ANOCH, my funeral

jk

but

[ebon moth]

You have to embrace the tent

[wide bane]

nooooooooo

[ebon moth]

Petition to burn it

[wide bane]

it's down now

too cold to hold events outside

[ebon moth]

Ah

Is weather there get rlly cold?

Well ig rlly cold is different for me and you

Does it get <60F?

[wide bane]

where are you from

[ebon moth]

Phx AZ

[wide bane]

oh boy

yes

when i left on friday it was like in the 20s at night

i'm used to that bc i'm from maryland

[ebon moth]

jeeeez

[wide bane]

it's not awful

you get used to it

[ebon moth]

I'm gonna be the biggest wimp you've ever met when it comes to the cold

[wide bane]

just get a winter coat

[ebon moth]

The coldest it gets here is maybe 50s

high 40s if it's rlly cold

in the middle of the night

[wide bane]

50s is considered a very very nice day in decemebr

[ebon moth]

that's crazy

I'm gonna start taking cold showers and live in a freezer

Get used to it now

If I move to the east coast

[wide bane]

my showers were cold the first month

i was too scared to put in a facilities request

then they fixed it

[ebon moth]

Oh boy

[wide bane]

lol

[ebon moth]

That's dedication

cold showers

[wide bane]

it wasn't fun

[ebon moth]

Doesn't sound fun lollll

[wide bane]

it was character building

[ebon moth]

True

Glass half full

[dapper mango]

the more i learn about brown the more i love it

too bad they dont love me 😢

[vestal lava]

nobody does

jkjk

i do

I love you

[ebon moth]

Brown does sound rlly cool

Every time I do research on a school

[hidden heart]

Worth submitting one just because tbh

[wide bane]

they deserved it

[wide bane]

i didn't have lots of work experience but i could just give longer descriptions and include activities/things I didn't otherwise have room for

[dapper mango]

what happened?

[valid magnet]

What do you major in?

[wide bane]

international and public affairs on the public policy track & possible econ

"When submitting a video introduction, the Early Decision and QuestBridge deadline is 11:59 p.m. (applicant's local time) November 4 and the Regular Decision deadline is 11:59 p.m. (applicant's local time) January 9. "

[hidden heart]

nope but it’s decent

[hidden heart]

there was a period during the triassic where the earth rained for 2 million years straight called the carnian pluvial episode

london is the city with the most cameras on earth

in 260bce during the battle of changping between zhao and qin, after a completely victory by qin, they massacred up to 400,000 surrendered zhao soldiers, and zhao never recovered

pick your poison: earth history, random facts, or human history

i can go on

[vestal lava]

tell me more about ancient greek

[vestal lava]

is this actually true

🤔

[hidden heart]

yes

about 234-232 million years ago

[vestal lava]

how do you know

were you there?

[hidden heart]

okay perfect!

i was the rain

[vestal lava]

oh ok

[hidden heart]

i was also the mountain keeping the vapor in before

[vestal lava]

so you were straight for 200 million yrs??

what happened now?

[hidden heart]

2 not 200

[vestal lava]

o

[hidden heart]

then the rain stopped and

i died

[vestal lava]

i see

makes sense

continue

[hidden heart]

which part of Ancient Greece history

do we start with the minoans

[vestal lava]

anything cool

actually hold on

i need to know if you’re qualified to give me this information

what did you get on your agp final

[hidden heart]

38.5 rip

[vestal lava]

noob

[hidden heart]

what did cat get

40+?

[vestal lava]

hmmmmmmm idk

[hidden heart]

to be fair she also put in like 40 hours to study

i put 3 in

maybe 7

[vestal lava]

she’s a nerd

[hidden heart]

like the day before

[vestal lava]

prob max score

[hidden heart]

it was out of 40 but max was 45

because extra credits

[vestal lava]

interesting

[hidden heart]

i ended up with a 89.4 lmfao so

unlucky but deserved for not taking the class seriously

[vestal lava]

mf was too busy writing a bible or some shit

[vestal lava]

what are those

teach me your syllabus

[hidden heart]

yeah i was genuinely so happy with the project

[hidden heart]

oh the syllabus is only philosophy which is kinda boring lol

greek history is fascinating

divided into 7 different eras or something

minoans are the earliest records of ancient greek culture that had a writing system, which is only behind egypt and mesopotamia

whereas egypt had papyrus and mesopotamia had cuneiform

[vestal lava]

i thought Egypt had hieroglyphics

[hidden heart]

yes hieroglyphics is the language, papyrus is what it’s written on

[vestal lava]

oo ok

[hidden heart]

mesopotamian cuneiform is written on clay tablets

[vestal lava]

ye i remember this from 8th grade

continue

[hidden heart]

i think Greeks derived their earliest language from hieroglyphs

but in minoan Greece (Crete) the lanaguge is called Linear A

[vestal lava]

i always mix up the romans and the Greeks

[hidden heart]

and so far they have not been able to decode the language

[vestal lava]

woah

[hidden heart]

ikr

The language is far too ancient and confusing to recognize

[vestal lava]

😳

[hidden heart]

but then when minoan culture waned and mainland greek culture rose

then came the era of Mycenae about 16th century

and the language was a new derivation of Linear A

it’s called Linear B

[vestal lava]

did we decipher linear b or nah

[hidden heart]

we understand Linear B apparently and this was only done some years ago

[vestal lava]

o dang

[hidden heart]

quite recently i think

and Mycenaean Greece is pretty familiar to a lot of people for its myths

[vestal lava]

like what

hydra?

calypso?

[hidden heart]

despite the rise of greek mythology since minoan culture, it really took its rise during the Mycenaean era

[vestal lava]

how do you know all this

did you learn in class

[hidden heart]

the trojan war, for example, happened at the end of Mycenaean Greece

no

this is what i spend my own time reading into

[vestal lava]

use

isee *

have you read the odyssey

[hidden heart]

and a hell lot of percy jackson back then which got me so into

both iliad and odyssey!

[vestal lava]

thoughts on the odyssey

[hidden heart]

and hesiod

[vestal lava]

and perch Jackson

[hidden heart]

love it!

[vestal lava]

🔥

[hidden heart]

percy jackson is a wonderful retell of modern society

because greek mythology was a wonderful representation of what the society relied on then

the transition of greek mythology throughout its different eras is fascinating

[vestal lava]

thoughts on the new Percy Jackson adaption

[vestal lava]

🔥

[hidden heart]

didn’t watch it yet, was excited

I’m very much a book person though with way too much fanfiction read

[lament moat]

no problem? did u reply to the wrong person

[hidden heart]

[little snow]

i meant to reply to the guy struggling

[lament moat]

fax >:(

[lament moat]

kk

[hidden heart]

real hater

[copper imp]

Thanks. Yeah, struggling because, not sure how "show, don't tell I could get with that essay" Do I need to come up with a story involving dialogue etc?

My common app essay already talks about my background and how it led me to community service etc

[little snow]

Not if you don’t need it

[lament moat]

[wide thicket]
