I don't quite understand what he has to gain from going, nor why your language shows you have moved past it more than he has. If he wasn't friends with anyone in high school, what'…

My parents are cleaners, but I'm not sure how much knowing me helps my peers at Princeton talk to them. It definitely helps, but the extent is hazy enough and more importantly my s…

It's very interesting to see a study with negative effects of multilingualism. I experience this a lot and never even considered it could partially be caused by knowing multiple la…

Those small grocery stores aren't the same as a supermarket, and the supermarkets listed aren't really in Trenton. For some reason some of them are listed as such, but if you look …

I never understood why students took out the loans for the private schools. Public schools are much more affordable if you aren't on scholarship and have great career prospects. It…

While I'm glad to see us expanding our rail lines, why is there an east-west link? I can't see rail surpassing air travel in this case in terms of price, and time is clearly not in…

He didn't mean antonym, which is why he mentioned at the end girls could then find both a nice and strong guy. In other words, it's less likely for nice guys to have the trait, but…
