In my first year of college, for a class called “Philosophical Perspectives on the Humanities,” I wrote a paper on the different connotations of “fate” and “destiny” in The Odyssey. I got a B- and the comment that they’re the same word in the original text.

You will (not) be shocked to learn that I did not major in either philosophy or classics after this experience.
