Hi all!

Not sure if this has been discussed much yet on here but I just CANNOT get over the video Britani was making, where she was pinching those people for not wearing green?

Forgive me if the humour was lost on me, but for some reason this interaction really irked me and I don’t know if it’s because of her behaviour, or because I don’t particularly care for her anyway.

I know it was meant to be lighthearted and fun but I just can’t stop thinking about it!!!! Is this just me???

Edit to add: IM GLAD ITS NOT JUST ME !!!!! THANK YOU REDDIT

Hi all!

I apologise in advance as this may be a long read, but would be very grateful for any insight or feedback people have.

From September, I have signed up to mentor a small group of freshers that are joining my academic school (English literature and communications). To be clear, my role is not an academic mentor, it’s more of a mental wellbeing / friendly face casual type of set up.

I have undertaken some mandatory training provided by the team who set up the mentoring scheme in my university, and will be meeting my mentees during freshers week in September. I was just wondering if anyone (incoming freshers, or even 2nd / 3rd yrs) had any thoughts on what types of things I could talk to them about during our first session? My brief plan is to establish some boundaries with them and let them know what they can expect from me, and I also plan to do some sort of icebreaker within the group too. I was also planning to offer them a tour of the particular building / area of campus they will be on, and possibly talk to them a little about what they can expect from their first week of lectures and seminars.

If anyone has any suggestions, or things they wish they could have asked a second year student during freshers week then please feel free to let me know! I am really excited to mentor them, and just want to do my best.

To add: I plan to meet them face to face monthly and keep frequent contact with them in the meantime via group emails or text, so lots of opportunity for more questions as we go😊

Hi all.

About to go into my second year of uni as an English lit student and highly considering doing my dissertation in third year ( it is optional at the university I attend).

I was just wondering if anyone had any insight on ‘underdeveloped’ aspects of Shakespeare and his canon - if there is such a thing, considering he has been around for SO long and is like the holy grail to most literature students.

I am open to any possible avenues, just curious what you all think.

Also, if anyone has done any previous academic work on Shakespeare ( and feels comfortable sharing ), I would love to see what other people have written!

Thanks!

Ps. Please don’t try and discourage me from doing my dissertation on Shakespeare at this point, I am only in very early doors of thinking about doing a dissertation and am literally just looking for some brief ideas I could begin to research over my summer break.

I am also considering other topics too, but the realm of Shakespeare is one I feel particularly passionate about
At the moment.

Hi all,

I’m currently on season 3 of RHONY and have been really struggling to get into it. I like Lu and Sonja so far, but just finding the whole thing hard to watch consistently. I can’t help but feel like I’m missing something considering how many people recommended I watched NYC.

I’m currently on episode 9 and see so many people say to just stick it out .. I was just wondering if this is a common thing, or if I’m just not connecting with the show properly.

I have watched RHOA, RHOBH and RHOSLC for what it’s worth.

Hey guys! I am looking for my next housewives watch having devoured RHOBH, RHOSLC AND RHOA. What is everyone’s favourite / best season of RHOP? What’s a reference I won’t understand until later? Thanks!

Hi all! Looking for what franchise I should start watching next. I have watched all of RHOBH plenty of times and have just finished Atlanta. I have also watched SLC a few times too. I’m just not sure where to go next, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

I have also watched VPR more times than I can count…

Thank you 😊

First ever Reddit post kinda nervous…

Went to see a production of Othello local to me last night and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I just wanted to open the conversation with likeminded people, as im sure my family are well sick of hearing me talk about my love for Shakespeare ( I am also an undergraduate English Literature student….)

As the post says I really LOVE Shakespeare, thanks in great part to my A Level teacher, who truly ignited my passion for Shakespeare. I’ve only just completed the first year of my English degree and am already thinking about potential Shakespeare dissertation topics. When I left my sixth form, I promised her I would send her a copy of my Shakespeare diss when I eventually wrote it.

Last nights production of Othello was my first time being exposed to the play. I haven’t previously studied it but knew loosely of its plot. The actors (who were all men - the mental image of the actor playing Emilia still makes me giggle) exuded such an intense passion when delivering the lines and I’ve been unable to stop thinking about the way the relationship between Emilia and Des played out, Iagos character as a whole, and Othello’s grief upon realising the truth in his last moments. It all truly took my breath away and left me feeling desperately sad for Des.

Anyway. Sorry for the longish post, just wanted to share my thoughts with like minded people and open the conversation on my favourite literary topic….😊
