More From Marilyn Vos Savant

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

Yes, if you want to say that i was a drum major, say that i was a drum major for justice. say that i was a drum major for peace. i was a drum major for righteousness. and all of the other shallow things will not matter. i won't have any money to leave behind. i won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. but i just want to leave a committed life behind. and that's all i want to say.

The stars we are given. the constellations we make. that is to say, stars exist in the cosmos, but constellations are the imaginary lines we draw between them, the readings we give the sky, the stories we tell.
Stars Reading Sky
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
The nigerian storyteller ben okri says that ‘in a fractured age, when cynicism is god, here is a possible heresy: we live by stories, we also live in them. one way or another we are living the stories planted in us early or along the way, or we are also living the stories we planted — knowingly or unknowingly — in ourselves. we live stories that either give our lives meaning or negate it with meaninglessness. if we change the stories we live by, quite possibly we change our lives.’
Giving Age Stories
I went to oberlin college, and they don't have a film major, but they do have what's called an individual major, where you can sort of pitch to a committee your own course study, and if they approve it, you have essentially just designed your own major. so oberlin doesn't have a film major; they do have a film minor... and then my spring semester of my junior year, i went off to nyu film school as a visiting student - they have a program for kids from other schools to come in for a semester.

The beauty of that june day was almost staggering. after the wet spring, everything that could turn green had outdone itself in greenness and everything that could even dream of blooming or blossoming was in bloom and blossom. the sunlight was a benediction. the breezes were so caressingly soft and intimate on the skin as to be embarrassing.
Summer Dream Spring
I did a lot of research on a couple different things. one was, how do people handle hating themselves and hating others? and hatred is a secondary emotion, i think; it always springs from something else ... usually fear, that's probably what it is. so i looked a lot at that.
