This will be my final blog for the semester, crazy! This year has flown by so fast. I think after reading a book a week for the semester, except for one, I’ve definitely found a new love for novels that aren’t just romance or short-stories. I can say I’ve come to realize that my reading […] read full post >>

At the beginning of this semester, I was hesitant to admit something: this semester I’ve read more books than I ever have in even a year. It’s somewhat embarrassing, but it’s also been a revelation. It’s shown me that I am capable of reading a book a week, even though I’ve always considered myself a […] read full post >>

Omfg I cant believe we’re actually almost done. It is crazy to think this is the last blog post and our last class will be tomorrow. I am honestly very proud of myself for accomplishing as much as I did this semester as It definitely was challenging at times. As I mentioned in my first […] read full post >>

RMST was a great course that really pushed me to read new things and explore new ideas throughout the semester. If I’m being completely honest, I was a little skeptical going into the course. I haven’t taken many literature classes during my degree and... read full post >>

Well, well, well. We’ve officially reached the end and I can confidently say it was a great journey. Whether I was reading a novel that confused the living hell out of me, weirded me out, or made me crazy uncomfortable, I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it. One thing I really enjoyed and wish they […] read full post >>

 Hey everyone! I can’t believe it is our final blog post of the semester, I don’t know about you all but the last few months have flown by for me. When I first started this course, I honestly didn’t think I would like it at all. It seemed like a l... read full post >>

So it ends, I have mixed feelings about this. As I sit here thinking about what to write, I feel melancholic. It’s not just saying goodbye to a super cool class and teacher but also to start learning an IMMENSE amount of analytical reading and critical thinking when reading books. I learned that instead of […] read full post >>

Final week, final blog! In a blink of an eye, I have somehow managed to read 11 books; it certainly doesn’t feel like it somehow. I have a feeling that this blog is going to go over the word count so I’m going to jump straight into it. First off, to get the negativity out […] read full post >>

It’s crazy to think that this semester is almost over and that I’ve basically read a book for almost every week of this year so far. I have to admit that I didn’t join this class for any great or noble reason like some others, rather it was a suggestion from a friend that it … Continue reading Thoughts on all the thoughts so far read full post >>

Unfortunately, the class has come to an end but it has been a remarkably enriching journey for me. As a student of political science and economics, my academic journey has largely been dominated by the necessity to engage with texts on theories and models, aiming for academic success in my exams.
