Nothing mind blowing? Only mind blowing course was Sociology. My professor worshipped Bernie Sanders and I appreciated him engaging his students to do better.

But also, That succeeding in college/university just shows that someone can learn, follow instructions, work in a group, etc. It really is to prepare someone to show up and do the work. I mean everyone is different and there's just more likelihood of someone being a better person to work with than someone who doesn't have that structure or ability to absorb info and think.

I don't think necessarily that people need higher education but it helps. I tell people I think careerwise it helps to have at least two of the three:

• skills
• networking/network
• higher education

Know college isn't for some people and the people I know that are successful are often very skilled or/and have connections, can make connections to get employed where they are.

Oh and STEM though, I think people 100% need college/university for more specialized fields and STEM like medical professionals, physicists, etc.

I have the Nikon Prostaff 3S though admittedly I need to upgrade.

I did the audiobook and really enjoyed it

When I was in college, it was a lot of yogurt, cereal, pasta, and subway. Those $5 subways were 2 meals for me.

However, as an adult, I just made a cabbage salad. I highly recommend recipes from budgetbytes. They try to use cheap but nutritious ingredients whether fresh, frozen, or canned

• Jet Set Radio
• Hades
• Burnout Revenge

Yup. Sorry to post a reddit but it was a great informatic regarding his dating life. I don't think anyone has been over the age of 25 when he started dating them.

Vampire survivors!!

It's on mobile app stores too

Kobo Libra Color for me!! The text is much nice on the eyes because of e-ink. I only listen to audio books through my phone.

The YouTube videos and analysis is also so fascinating. Everyone finds something different!

Started Ted Lasso yesterday! Yes, I know I am behind

Crocs. I had avoided them for years until I went on a kayaking tour on Vancouver Island. Well, while they were ugly AF, they are one of most comfortable shoes I've tried that are just... Easy to slip on and off?

Finch App . Not entirely sure if I believe their privacy claims outlined in their FAQ but I am a paid user so maybe. Anyways, its a habit tracker gamified. You get a little bird and take care of it (yourself). The more tasks you complete and stuff, use it to buy outfits, decorate your bird home, etc. Theres also a ton of different light therapy tools in there like breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques, etc.

Anyways, it got me flossing, stretching, and exercising more.

• Mean Girls
• Zombieland
• Elemental
• The Matrix
• Crazy Stupid Love

Zombieland is mine!!

Just finished Murderbot Diaries. Started Platonic.

Honestly, I've just been using GeforceNow. But problem is I can't play any game not supported by it. Like I want to try Ashes of Creation alpha but I can't. Nor my Spiderman Miles Morales

They always miss the point... I know someone whose favorite play is Wicked... They won't watch the movie because Elphaba is black...

Project Hail Mary is one of my favorite audio books of all time! Second your rec!!

FYI, there is an instance that asks this every week!

But to answer your question,

My last read was Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. Its a historical fiction about a few generations of a Korean family. It was solid.

I'm currently on vacation and have been reading Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone ... Picked it up since it was available and supposed to be an easy read... Which it is. Its just a whodunit. Idk how I feel about it yet.
