Old Grad

2023-10-06 18:33:54 UTC

Hi y'all. I'm not so much a recent graduate - got my BA from City College in 2012, and my PhD from the CUNY Grad Center in 2021, both in English. I taught at Lehman College, City College, BMCC, and Staten Island 2014-2022. I'm always open to chatting about resources at CUNY, getting and staying organized with multiple classes, etc. I'm reachable at dainybernstein@gmail.com.

Peer Review - Essays

Hi,

English isn’t my first language, nor is writing and it’s structural grammar something I am still comfortable with, and I’d love support with someone who can comment, review and help me edit my papers for graduate school. They’re mostly journals as of now, but it’s the MLA style I struggle to formulate. Thanks

Good morning,

I am currently going through the process of applying to UK universities and am having trouble with my UCAS application. Is there anyone who has experience with this and can help me out? This is sort of time sensitive as the deadline is end of January.

Looking forward to hearing back.

Hi,

I received my admission from University of Florida and I’m overwhelmed. Is there anyone attending UF, or know others who will be attending?

I am pretty annxious about housing and navigating the social scene. And just generally anxious🙃
