Multipotentiality and Polymathy: Making Sense of the Concepts and Vocabulary
Are you someone who has way too many passions and ideas to be able to choose just one? Does the thought of following a single career path make you feel trapped into something that could never satisfy you, like even if you really, really loved that job, you couldn't stand it if it took all your time? Do you crave variety and novelty so much that you struggle to function when what you're doing does not satisfy this need? Do the words and phrases ‘specialization’, ‘narrowing down’ and ‘focus on one thing’ induce somewhat an allergic reaction? Is your mind constantly generating new ideas and projects in all kinds of “unrelated” fields?

The Nightmare Week
*stares at the cover image* Ahhhahahahahaa, suuuuuure. School students may be children but they don't have that luxury. It was a Friday (I suppose) after a frantic week (or two? It's all a blur) in the 11th grade, when I wrote the poem posted below. Eleventh grade was a year of overload in general, but I think it's the week when I had to give a speech in English (by heart), prepare for a few tests, give two presentations, one of which was in biology, the other, Russian (which I failed to learn by heart and had to present next day), then go through the heap of handouts our English teacher had given us for the weekly home-reading class, plus I had to organize a vocabulary-learning activity for that class. Maybe it doesn't sound that much, but it really was A LOT. And I'm no crybaby, nor am I a sloth, so if I say it's a lot, then it really is a lot.

Why I Hate Romeo and Juliet (Sorry, Shakespeare)Top Story - October 2023
What famous fictional couple comes to mind when you think of love? Right. Romeo and Juliet. Star-crossed lovers whose great love was not hindered even by the hatred between their families. Two young people who loved each other to the grave. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is often called the most romantic story of all times, and lovers from all around the world travel to Verona to get married on the so-called Juliet’s balcony. Romeo and Juliet is a key symbol of romance.
