Any Northwestern Alums on this platform that could answer a few questions I have about NU and Chicago? I am currently in the process of applying there and have some questions about the weather, j-school, etc. Thanks!

Everyone’s freaking out about politics. Me? I’m a high school senior freaking out about Moby-Dick.

Hi, I’m Zach, a HS senior. Reading Moby-Dick this summer made me think about how unpredictable life and politics can be. I wrote an essay on Ishmael’s approach to uncertainty:

Would love if you could read and share it!

I’m a high school senior juggling school, cross-country, college apps… and rejection stings. Like Ahab, it’s easy to obsess over what we can’t control.

Zach Kahn @zkahn.bsky.social · Sep 1

Captain Ahab? Obsessed with certainty and revenge. He dies trying to control the uncontrollable. Moral: chasing certainty can destroy you.

Zach Kahn @zkahn.bsky.social · Sep 1

Ishmael, the narrator of Moby-Dick, tries to answer everything—why whales are white, why life is the way it is. But every answer just leads to more questions.
