For a college admissions essay I did, I wrote about cleaning out my room, going through my personal items and explaining the significance of each one in my life.
I've noticed quite a few of our younger members starting threads where they are asking for advice, to interview people, or for source material to help them with school projects. I was thinking it might be to the benefit of the board population as a whole to put all the homework-help requests into one general thread, and merge new topics of that nature when and as they occur.
Just like the Lookbook and Jewelry-Making thread, it would be a one-stop clearinghouse for academic queries and would help keep people's requests for help from getting lost among other discussions.
What do the mods, as well as other members think of this idea?

Anyone fancy writing a 1,000 word presentation on the erosion of culture in a specific region of France, written in formal French with clear demonstration of perfect, imperfect, present, pluperfect, conditional future and the subjunctive mood?
Seriously though, good thread saving idea, AYLI.

You've got questions, we've got answers. This thread's for anyone writing a paper on trends, needing source material on fashion history, wanting to interview fashion consumers for a demographic straw poll, or seeking to have an essay critiqued. It's also a thread for those of us who've been out of school for a while to knock the dust off our thinking caps and help out others who are still working of their formal educations.
This is a clearinghouse for academic inquiries. It should better aid the tFS student population as your questions will all go in the same spot, and those of us who might be qualified to answer them will always know where to go. Plus, it will help new members get questions answered, as an established member may have asked something similar once, and the newcomer may come across a past discussion that speaks to his or her current question.
Sound good? Then feel free to ask away. With this many people around, you're sure to get some useful feedback.
