Independent Study
A weekend writing prompt
It’s fall, which means back-to-school season. In honor of the vaguely scholastic energy you may be feeling right now, take yourself to the School of Living. Your classes? Those are up to you. Audit a course in accepting compliments, or giving them. Enroll yourself in Advanced Forgiveness or Codependence 101 (with subsections for everyone you thought you couldn’t live without). Show us what you need to learn most: the mundane, the frivolous, the borderline life-saving, the un-standardized-testable.
Publish your story on Medium with the tag “Human Prompt” by Friday, September 13th. We’ll feature our favorite scholars in Human Parts. If you don’t hear from us within two weeks, assume we’re not featuring your story — but we encourage you to keep it published on Medium nonetheless.
