When is Columbia adding a FilmHum class?
Bodies Bodies Bodies: NSOP friend group. Also, those friends that don’t quite realize you don’t possess the same financial means as them.
Arrival: A few things. The foreign language requirement. Perhaps decoding an email your old professor sent. Maybe one of the core texts actually enlightens you. Maybe reading too much into a text your delusionship sent.
Booksmart: All of it.
Past Lives: Not an experience while at Columbia or Barnard but a few years after; the point when all your “I’m doing this for the memoir” choices finally crystallize together and you realize they were just poor decisions brewed in wrought emotions and low sense of self.
Perfect Blue: The tough mental storm when you realize the plan you set for yourself before high school is not the plan you want or will actually end up taking. Expected trajectories can be a lot if you don’t let yourself grow and change!
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On: Trying to find a friend group. Branching out. Try your best.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: Skipping classes for a self-care day. Duh.
Lost in Translation: Those GS besties you make in class (I’m ignoring that last scene and choosing to believe it was only a friendship).
Happiness for Beginners: Leaving campus, most obviously to a park. Even more similar is when you take a vacation in the woods somewhere during a break.
Barbie: Barnard classes, and reconciling with the air of Columbia College men™ in them.
Oppenheimer: Life post club e-board where you realize your decisions have a legacy.
The Little Hours: Going to the Met Cloisters with your friends and cracking jokes at all the artwork—potentially while high.
Frances Ha: Post-graduation life. And frankly, life during college when you feel like everyone is on a plan while you’re just floating and trying your best.
Edge of Seventeen: Queer self-discovery and/or going clubbing (too) often during your first few years.
