I enjoyed it! It’s fun to experience how different each album is from the one proceeding. Favorite track: The Fate of Ophelia, I’m a sucker for a Shakespeare allusion.

Honestly, mid. The lyrics don't hold up compared to her previous work (folklore/evermore), and the production strikes me as bland, with none of the sheer fun or creativity of 1989 or even midnights. Taylor jumped the shark w/ TPD imo. That's okay, I still love all her earlier work.

Trading in markets isn’t something I know much about. Sorry! If by ICT you mean the YouTube account Inner Circle Trader, keep in mind that any investment advisors worth listening to consider day-trading little more than gambling, and any strategies marketed as foolproof aren’t.

If you mean songs with lyrics that hold up on the page without the melodies, possibly Patti Smith, Bob Dylan (can’t argue with a Nobel for literature!), or Lou Reed, or just about any rap or hip hop artist for sheer virtuosity (Check out Doechii!) If you mean an imaginative or sensitively emotional style of expression that blends with the music, a lot of people are saying Taylor Swift. I’d go with a much older classic: Robert Burns.

Anything from manage the life of a fictional wealthy layabout (Jeeves, for Bertram Wooster in many P.G. Wodehouse novels) to manage the staff of a fictional great house (Mr. Carson in the British tv serial Downton Abbey).

Dropping out of a program is always a big decision. But you’re already doing one of the best things when deciding something: looking into options and spending time with the decision. Some other job possibilities for neuro majors include teaching, nurse practioners, and researchers. You might also talk to someone in the program or one of your professors to learn more about options.

How much helium do I have to microdose into my friend’s food before he starts floating?

PLEASE don’t try this. Not really sure how you’re envisioning this working, as helium is only solid at a temperature around absolute zero. But in gaseous form, the answer is an amount of helium that would cause death by hypoxia a long time before any floating happened.

If you’re in student housing, use your local lounge, which ought to be pretty quiet while everyone else sleeps. Academic building locks are set to open at 6:30am on the weekends, so you could, for example, go to Stokes and use the seating on the ground floor near the Chocolate Bar.
