ERICA GOLDSON: Graduation speech
this is pure perfection
"I have no interests because I saw every subject of study as work, and I excelled at every subject just for the purpose of excelling, not learning" I feel like I narrowly escaped that trap. This year I’m taking classes that sound fascinating and exciting even though they aren’t my (boring) strengths and I cannot wait to learn and try really hard and not get a 4.0.
Happy Monday! Just 94 days til Bonnaroo!
It’s Collaborations Week on Bonnaroo.com so in that spirit…
If we could get everyone at Bonnaroo to do one thing as a team, what should it be?
The Illusion of Reality
In 1999, a movie came out which blew everyone’s mind, and still twists our brains today : the Matrix. It described a future where reality is an illusion, a computer-simulated universe in which we thrive. Solipsism with guns in a post-apocalyptic world. But what if I told you… they’re right ? In fact that’s not true, they’re probably completely mistaken. Reality is not a computer-generated dream. Reality is empty. Well… 99,99% empty.
Science basics, matter is made of atoms. Atoms are themselves made of a cloud of electrons orbiting a dense nucleus of protons and neutrons. Separating electrons and the nucleus is just air. Not even air, since air is composed of molecules. This is why I can say that atoms are mostly empty, and therefore matter is mostly empty. We’ve known this for a very long time. Most of us would just give up and say “matter is nothing, so why bother ?”. Most of us, but not scientists. Scientists have twisted and mangled these teensy balls of nothing. They stripped these minuscule objects apart and threw the remains into a 27 kilometers collider to blow them up. They’ve invented machines and probes to witness matter in its very extreme intimacy. In 1951 they invented the Field Ion Microscope and they’ve taken pictures… of individual atoms. Repelled ions looking like clusters of stars or ripples into the nothingness.
So, why bother ? That’s why. Matter is almost empty. But we were here, and we took pictures to prove it.

Let’s ‘Cook’ the Film: The Recipe of Film Soup!
The idea of film soup is to allow the film to have chemical interaction with the ‘soup’ and produce the unexpectedly extraordinary effect for your Lomographs. Since the first film soup ever been ‘served’, every Lomographer has eagerly recorded down their own recipe and review. In this article, I would like to share my experience with my own secret recipe!

You don’t need to be in school to improve your education. Check out Coursera!
One of the biggest issues that I continue to see pop up for people, especially within the young adult generation[s], is the problem of being at a loss for readily available, and seemingly ‘affordable’ educational sources, information, and courses. I recently reblogged a post with a brilliant list of 500 FREE online courses from top universities, which was pretty popular.
