Berlin Resident Designs Personal Fall Curriculum, Blending History, Language, and Art
Berlin, Germany – A local resident, known online as @figfeelings, has garnered attention for her unique approach to personal development, meticulously crafting a 'fall curriculum' for self-study. The initiative, inspired by another online creator, encompasses four diverse subjects: political science, German language, economics, and the arts. In a recent video, @figfeelings detailed her chosen materials. For political science, she is delving into 'Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History' by Nur Masalha and 'Hierarchies of Solidarity,' a conversational text exploring activism. She emphasized her commitment to in-depth study, including extensive annotation and note-taking for these dense subjects. Her German language studies involve translating and defining words from a vintage book, 'Sankt Petri-Schnee,' which has also been adapted into a 1990s film. For economics, she is reading 'Why Information Grows' and exploring the concept of entropy. The arts component focuses on a scrapbooking journal, where she creates blue-themed visual compositions, describing it as a stress-relieving creative outlet. 'I really miss being in school,' she stated in her video, explaining that structuring her learning in a curriculum format helps her stay on track. She expressed enthusiasm for the process and encouraged others to consider creating their own self-study programs.
