Bridal Party by F. Scott Fitzgerald (10+)?
Jennifer, I am going to be bluntly frank with you. Here you are, a junior in college, a place that is preparing you to think, and you resort to allowing others to do your thinking for you. What is that going to do for you? You are asking others to get your precious education instead of your learning how to do research, how to ferret out the right answers--in other words, how to think and exercise your brain lobes. Do you have any idea how many people would love to have the money to go to college to learn to think in an "advanced mode?" It is your education, your privilege. You will be in the front of the line when seeking employment. But will you be able to progress in your career if you haven't developed adequate reasoning skills? There are no short-cuts to becoming an educated person. Too many people have a degree but know nothing. Is that what you want for yourself? If you just learn facts, you are not educated. It is knowing what to do with the facts that enables your future. "The time for thinkers has come!" (Mary Baker Eddy) "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." (William Shakespeare)
