So let’s say you had a “to be” project in English where you had to creatively address what it means “to be” by incorporating Hamlet, a speech by Steve Jobs, and an article about Roger Ebert. What would you do for this project?
@dsi411 asking for homework help much?
It sounds like an interesting assignment.
“To be or not to be? That is the question as to whether or not Apple deserves two thumbs up.”
That’s all I got.
My sister got accepted to Berkeley! YAY! Invited to regents too 
so so happy for her
So I’m applying for internships and I realize I have to make a resume. Anybody do this before because I have no idea where to begin. I don’t have any work experience so I don’t know how to “fill it up”.
@tigerman333 work experience can include past internships and any other extensive jobs/volunteering you did prior. I played at a local church for a holiday cantata and got paid 100$ so I put that down under “work experience.”
@tigerman333 to add to ambitiousgeek, if you have any good relevant test scores, classes, or knowledge (e.g. any computing languages you’re familiar with) those are good qualifications (esp. the classes). Also any awards you’ve received (I add things like “All-County Orchestra” and “AMC 10 School Winner”) are also good to add.
I am making my senior schedule and don’t know what classes to take. I will be a political science major and my dream school is Georgetown. Here is what I have for my schedule as of right now:
AP Lit
AP Spanish
AP U.S. Gov and Politics
AP Statistics
Duel Enrollment Macro Economics
Gym
Marine Science Honors
Is this competitive enough for Georgetown?

The resume must also be a page long.
I don’t think I’ll be partaking in any research programs this year. The program offered by Stanford on the Age of Jefferson sounds really interesting but I can’t afford it. :((
Instead I think I might volunteer for a local museum. I’m also thinking of volunteering for a presidential campaign.
@coffeeaddicted Thanks a lot!
@QueenOfBohemia Thanks a lot! Do you think I should also include relevant extracurriculars? Also, do you think it would help to name specific courses I’ve taken? For example, I want do something in business/law so should i write I’ve taken Public Speaking, Business Law, AP Macro, etc.
@Greninja AH THAT’S TRUE VOLUNTEERING FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN SOUNDS LIKE LOADS OF FUN!! i think i might want to as well!! to be honest, i’m a little scared, though - i’m not a very opinionated or outspoken/assertive person, imo, so aligning myself with a candidate frightens me ahaha.
what museum would you be volunteering at?
i wanted to intern at this lab nearby my hometown, but i don’t know if i can land an internship, or if i would be able to make the commute :((
@tigerman333 Of course! Any extracurricular that is relevant to your business/law endeavor should be included in the Experiences section.
@QueenOfBohemia Thanks so much!
Does anyone know of biotech/bio/genetics internships that can be done remotely? I’d like to intern this summer, but I also have to stay home & watch my sister.
I found some, but I don’t know if they’re legitimate…
@desideratum - Curious Science Writers is a good program, but you have to go to an all-day meeting on June 11 at a college in Deleware/Maryland:: http://www.curiousyoungwriters.org
I’M SCREECHING @luckyme123
Writing is my other great passion, along with genetics/bio. If I could convince my parents to let me attend, I’d love to! Thank you
Piggybacking off of @desideratum’s question , do y’all know of any CA based summer programs that aren’t suuuuper long? I am going to be dance captain next year and summer practices are completely run by the captains, thus i don’t want to be gone for more than a week D;
For all the Hamilton fans, Hamilton won tonight at the Grammys!! They had a great performance of the opening number as well. Overall, it’s been a great day!
@SockandBoots I KNOW I’M SO THRILLED!! However, I do wish that they performed a number in which the Schuyler sisters were more prevalent - although the show //is// about Hamilton HAHA
