Does anyone know where i can find old magazines for cheap (or free) here? Preferably some sort of men’s watch or perfume ad magazine … or anything really

Does anyone know a place near campus where i can get magazines for cheap. The content of the magazines hardly matters.

Anyone who can tell me what the major is like and how difficult it is to meet the major requirements? I know it’s a relatively small major at Columbia but I haven’t met anyone who’s an arch major 😅

I’m taking Design Futures NYC, so hopefully will meet some people there…

But if anyone here can offer any insights that would be great.

I know it depends on the professor, but does anyone know if Salaikshmi Ramgopal allows laptops in class? Like if i have a pdf of the book, is that ok?

does anyone know when the instructor accepts you off the waitlist for these particular classes? and should i just attend the class regardless? while im on the waitlist?

does anyone else think the scene where dain reads violets memories in the interrogation chamber, she’s screaming in her head and out loud, pulling him inside the memory, he says, “none of this would’ve happened if you had just trusted me” (aka liam dying) and he’s about to slit her throat but kills varrish instead. THAT scene.

anyone else agree it’s like the best most underrated scene?? i mean people don’t rave about it enough.

it’s like one of the most powerful scenes in the series imo

iron flame gets too much unnecessary hate. whether it’s a filler book or not, i think it was pretty good still 🫪

i’m an incoming freshman at Columbia and am moving to nyc from overseas. I’m at a loss for what eSim I should get. Something pay-as-you-go.

and something affordable

or at least alliance in some form

To current students: what is the party scene at Columbia like? Are they mostly at Carmen? Or does everyone go clubbing (in which case would one need a fake ID?)? I would assume the greek life is more exclusive and not everyone goes to those…?

Or do most dorm halls just hang out in their common rooms?

So RY, when talking about violets second signet, said in an interview that there’s only one person who can teach her how to hone this signet.

I know the obvious and most likely answer is Xaden, since he’s also an intinnsic.

But part of me really hopes it’s Dain. I think it would be a lot more interesting for so many reasons. Firstly, we’ve already seen xaden teach her pretty much everything she knows as a rider. Other than that, it would be so good for dains arc and his and violets relationship if she tells him about her capital-offensive signet. And trusts him enough to know he won’t kill her or report her.

Plus he has a pretty powerful mind signet too according to Sloane. And i’m pretty sure there’s more to his signet that we know yet…

But what do u guys think. It could also just be Berwyn 🤢🤢SPEAKING OF WHOM- why is berwyn a dream-walker when the irids made it seem like that signet was specific to their breed…? isn’t that something worth pondering 😀😀

i want to know what everyone thinks. because personally, i’m hoping for slain content in there 😬

my personal opinion is yes, she is. but i’m open to hearing what everyone else thinks.

it’s not that i think rhiannon is a BAD friend by any means (that “violet is one life” comment in OS didn’t really upset me. it’s the way someone in leadership should think honestly). BUT i think imogen is way better of a friend.

i mean she’s ALWAYS there for violet (since threshing). whether it was because of xaden or not, she’s always been there for her. from training her to noticing she hasn’t been sleeping and running with her every morning, always checking up on her since xaden turned venin, being violets confidante since xaden turned AND ultimately erasing her memories because she asked her to….

she even tells violet not to follow xaden’s advice of shutting out her friends. and to instead open up to someone. that tells me she cares for violet regardless of her attachment to xaden.

they’ve just had more trauma bonding i suppose lol but personally i think imogen is one of the truest friends violet has.

Can anyone who took this placement test tell me what it entails? Will it be hard if I know the language but don’t speak very well in it and sometimes mess up on the tenses? Thanks!

does anyone else hope we get a scene of them actually acknowledging each other?

like yes violet and dain grew up together, but that means mira and brennan grew up with him too. And yet, we don’t get any reunion between brennan and dain or any scenes between either of the three of them….

in fact, you would think mira and brennan would care about him almost as much as they do violet (they’ve known him since he was 6 and he was super close to their dad).

like with the marked ones (garrick bodhi imogen and xaden), u can very clearly see their bond and that they grew up in close proximity)

the only moment i can think of between him and brennan are in chapter 44 of IF:

“Sounds like your wingleader gave you an order, cadet,” Brennan says, his tone flat.
(defending dain)

and chapter 59 of OS:

“You all right, Aetos?”Dain twists his hand around his wrist. “I’m good.”
(after he saves mira)

but other than that, nothing. and mira and him haven’t interacted since montserrat in the first book…

maybe now since dain will be a lieutenant there’ll be more scenes? who knows

and honestly i feel the same about them and aaric …

in IF, does xaden overhear lilith telling violet about her’s and xaden’s deal? to protect violet.

because how does he know she knows?

My mouth opens. Then shuts. “You knew…that I knew?” “Of course I knew.” He arches a dark brow as if I’m the problem here.

and wouldn’t that mean dain heard it too?

“He looks like he might fight me for a second, but then he slowly lowers me to stand and braces me against the wall. “Three minutes,” he whispers. “And I’ll be at the top of this staircase.” That warning is given to my mother as he starts up the steps with Garrick leading the way. “Aetos, did you decide to follow?”

“Apparently,” Dain says, waiting a few steps beneath me.

“Then fucking follow,” Xaden orders.

Dain grumbles, but he marches up the steps, leaving my mother alone with me.”

that’s just interesting to me
