This, and nobody seems to understand the basic fact that humanities departments are money MAKERS not money losers. They pay the same tuition to be in my class as they do in their STEM class but I make a lot less than that professor and I don't need any special equipment.

Dr Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. Then she saw that tree over there get struck by lightning
Surely it’s time for the mashup we’ve all been waiting for? Emma as Dr Frankenstein.
You can only pick one. I’m sorry.
