Five for Friday 146

Happy Friday,

Hope you are enjoying the holiday season! This past week has been filled with reading, writing and resting. Which is great because we get to spend this weekend moving! 🙂

Here is what I’m looking forward to catching up on this weekend:

“There are no real finish lines, just ‘checkpoints’, ” Why Mike Posner walked across America.

I recently learned about influential literary critic Harold Bloom, who passed away in October. His NY Times obituary is an inspiring read for anyone who loves reading, especially classical literature. Pair with his 2003 interview with The Atlantic.

This wonderful essay on the Greatest Unknown Intellectual of the 19th Century.

A quick categorizing of the differences between jam, jelly, marmalade, preserves, and chutney. Who knew there was an actual scale?

Lastly, this interesting discussion on how students learn more in active environments, yet most students don’t feel they are effective.

Have a beautiful weekend!
