A summer series of casual philosophy conversations where we explore life, meaning, people, and those questions we rarely say out loud. No homework, no lectures - just honest talk with curious minds who don't claim to have the answers. Each session dives into one deep, open-ended question - like "What does it really mean to be happy?" or "Why do we care so much about what others think?" - and leaves space for whatever thoughts come up. No philosophy experience required. Just bring your curiosity, and open mind, and maybe a little wonder. Come with questions. Leave with more.

This series was originally created for Luna Y, but everyone is welcome to join. Since it started as a 1:1 setup, any additional learners will be joining a small, relaxed study group. We'll be covering the full geometry curriculum over the summer at a fairly fast pace - so come ready to learn and keep up! A few things to note: - There’s no fixed schedule just yet. As more people start attending regularly, I’ll begin planning sessions based on everyone’s availability. - I highly recommend doing extra practice on Khan Academy and taking notes during sessions. Geometry is one of those subjects where practice really does make perfect. - To keep things smooth and fair for everyone, please try your best to attend consistently. If you miss more than two sessions without letting me know, I may have to remove you from the series just to make sure the group can stay on track. Totally understand that life happens - just communicate with me and we're good!

What is Model UN? Model United Nations (Model UN or MUN) is more than just a student activity—it’s a global movement that turns classrooms into diplomatic arenas. It all began in the early 20th century as simulations of the League of Nations, and after the founding of the United Nations in 1945, it evolved into what we now call Model UN. The first official "Model United Nations" conference was held at Swarthmore College in 1947. At its core, Model UN is an educational simulation where students take on the roles of UN delegates. They represent countries or organizations, research global issues, debate policies, and work together to draft resolutions—just like real diplomats. It’s a crash course in international relations, public speaking, negotiation, and critical thinking. But what makes it truly compelling is the transformation it sparks. Students don’t just learn about the world—they learn how to shape it. Many alumni of MUN have gone on to careers in law, politics, international affairs, and activism. Whether you're a seasoned delegate or a curious newcomer, MUN is a powerful way to understand the complexities of global diplomacy—and to find your voice in the process.
