SO YOU WANT TO GET HIRED IS NOW LIVE ON ITCHIO! :D

This thirty-page guide is specifically written to help you navigate the world of working-class jobs. In it, I break down what to put in your resume (even if you have no experience at all!), how to dress for the interview, how to play the very confusing and nonsensical world of the working-class interview, and what happens after you drag yourself out of the crucible of the interview on your hands and knees.

It's helpful! It's for those of us who want to know how to get hired for something as menial as a food runner! It's not that long, so you don't need to carve out several hours to in-depth research! It's got jokes — and Brian David Gilbert references!

Please reblog to help reach as many people as possible, because sometimes we all need a little help adulting, and I'm here to share what I know with you, no judgment.

(If you want to make sure I am not forced to be victim to website fees, you can always just send me $3 on Ca$h@pp/V3nm0 (deadtower) or P@yp@l (paypal.me/deadtower) and email me at februaryfirstpublishing@gmail.com with your username/when you sent the money, and I can send you the PDF that way! Also, if you can't afford it, no worries! Just shoot me an email and I'll send it to you discounted to as low as $1, or for free, depending on your financial situation. I want everyone to have access to the resources they deserve. <3)

Science Journalism / Writing / Communication Master's Programs 2025 Guide

I did an MS in Science Journalism, and I did a lot of research into them, so here is an updated basic guide. If you're interested, check them out and put their application dates on your calendar. Apply to multiple so you can play their scholarships against each other. That's very important--it could mean the difference between a lifetime of intense financial pressure under building compound interest, and being wealthy enough to own a house! Just for a few emails of negotiations!

Green=FREE! Free ≠ easy or standardless! In fact, free programs can be even harder to get into!

Science Communication MS *NEW!* Location: Hochschule Ansbach in Germany (All classes in English) Price: Tuition-Free! Even for International students! Length: 3 semesters

Science Writing Master's *BEST IMO!* Location: MIT in Cambridge (near Boston) Price: They PAY YOU to go! I've heard the average student profits $40k by going! (Which, of course, will go to living expenses for the year.) Length: 2 semesters (Full disclosure: I didn't go here, but you could say I'm biased in favor of MIT because they're publishing my book. That said, I already believed this was the best program when I saw they pay you to go. Also, MIT is a pretty respectable institution.)

Science Communication Master's Location: UCSC in California Price: $15k for CA residents, $30k for out-of-state. Might be worth living in CA for a year or establishing residence some other way for the discount. (More details) Length: 3 quarters (similar to 2 semesters, roughly a school year)

Science Journalism Master Classes (non-credit) Location: Remote online Price: Free! Thanks to the Kavli Foundation Length: Flexible Note: This one is without any sort of application process, so yes you can do it without experience or quitting your job or moving! The rest are full-time, selective, more traditional mostly in-person programs.

Science Writing MA Location: Remote online via Johns Hopkins University Price: They won't say Length: 16-36 months

Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting Location: NYU in New York Price: They won't say, but I think something like $50k-$100k Length: 3 semesters

Science Journalism MS Location: Boston University Price: $65k Length: 1 Year (Doesn't matter, it doesn't exist anymore. This is the one I attended.) More that I haven't looked into! NOTE: All of these have scholarship options so their prices may actually differ. That's why you should apply to more than one. However I really appreciate that some are free for all students that get in, so you don't have to worry.

"No, I cannot ask Boss to give you a discount."

"The name's Caspian, but you can just call me Cas like everyone else does. I'm a waiter at Monstro Lounge, and I'm in Octavinelle. I'm a tigershark mer, by the way." Caspian was tall, at least on par with Jade and Floyd, maybe an inch shorter. He certainly had style too, courtesy of Azul or Jade, most likely.

"Anyway, I wish I could chat longer, but I'm on an errand run for Jade and Floyd and they told me to hurry. Bye for now!"

Caspian Pearlight is a Sophmore student at Night Raven College. He's from the Coral Sea and he's in Science Club with Rook and Trey. He's a very friendly individual if you don't ask about the scars on his face, but be warned that if he appears to be angry, it's best to leave him be.

He shares a few classes with Azul and Jade, and is sometimes seen talking with either them or Floyd during passing periods.

Despite being so friendly, he has a similar unpredictable nature as Floyd, and is a lot more careless with his actions. Being a tiger shark mer, he's a naturally predatory being and has bouts of aggression that result in him needing to be subdued.

Despite all of this, he is a delight to be around most of the time and if he remembers, he makes sure to invite Malleus to gatherings and whatnot since he feels bad for the poor guy.

The First Thronecoming | TWST X EAH

Chapter 5: Duty Calls!

Summary: It’s another day at school! You’re off to class at NRC, ready for whatever class will through at you at this magical school. And then you see a kid running around so fast he could qualify as a track & field member! Their reason for running in the halls? Their duty as a hero and boyfriend! Duty calls!

A/N: HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!❄️🥳 Hope you are all enjoying the holidays, or today in general! This is a long one so I have to split it into multiple parts before continuing on! (Hoping that it’s 3 🤞) Hope that it’s alright with you guys!

P.S.: ANY REFERENCE TO THAT ONE GREAT SEVEN FIGURE Scar 🦁 MENTIONED IN THIS CHAPTER WAS PURELY COINCIDENTAL LMAO 🤡 As per usual, this crossover AU is inspired from @sayuricorner and the NRC Thronecoming headcanons from @lovelyllamasblog!!

⬅️Ch. 4 | AO3 | Ch 6➡️

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡═*.·:·.✧✦✧.·:·.*═⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾

Days flew by since the return of Thronecoming at Night Raven College! That chain reaction overflowed the school halls, to the dorms on the school’s off time, to the whole campus!

Seven, even the news ran rampant all around Sage Island! With the town also taking advantage of the hype. Whether upscaling their prices or providing sale discounts to the students shopping for their Thronecoming lists, their wallets will either suffer greatly or mildly.

There is no in-between.

Even the social media bursted too! The trending boards filled to the brim about Thronecoming. Threads of thoughts, memories, and photos posted for their reactions. Others posted little sketches, mainly relating to their ideas of their Thronecoming outfits!

Such posts were boosted by the likes of celebrities (such as Vil and Neige), royalty and other major influential figures. Nevertheless, the trend especially reached its peak in the Ever After universe; A given since its one of the biggest and greatest school holidays!

At this point, both universes will know about Thronecoming!

There is no escape. 😃

Additionally, it’s the first of its kind to be celebrated elsewhere outside of the Fairytale world, so obviously it’s a big deal!

Not to mention it’ll be different in how Thronecoming will run. New changes, new beginnings for these fairytale students of Ever After now learning elsewhere. Without the whole “following your destiny” mindset involved (and the ones who drilled it in), there’s much more freedom to have fun with it all!

And would you look at that! Looks like there’s one couple I’ve been wanting to see after some time!

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

[Location: Hallway Corridor]

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sun is rising, and the morning comes. It is a new day for everyone.

Students and teachers alike were walking around the school halls. Brushing by one another without too much of a care. Just getting by to the next class, hoping to either get work done or get it over with. All in all, just a regular day at school.

Then again… we are in a magical school remember? More so, Night Raven College. So, what is ever normal on a regular day at NRC?

Tap! Tap! Tap!

A student stops themselves as they hear quickened footsteps behind them. Curiosity got the better of them, turning their head around. And in their eyes, witnessing a student running at top speed towards them.

“AH!” They screamed, stepping to the side in a blink of an eye, narrowly avoiding a head-on collision.

“Sorry!” The recipient called out. “Duty calls!”

As the student regains their breath, they look over to the student that almost ram into them. At the back, the student has a green hood underneath their charcoal grey school coat. A faux, brown leather satchel swung along their shoulders as he ran. Nothing else unique on this student’s school uniform attire was much to note, except for his combat boots and half-shaved hair.

From the flashes of their dorm ribbon colours, it exudes maroon red and a golden yellow; A Scarabia student. No, wait– two Scarabia students!

Followed by a light chiding, a sweet voice said, "Careful, Hunter!"

“Sorry, Ash! I’m trying!”

In the arms of said male Scarabia student - Hunter - is a young woman with long, strawberry blonde hair, tied half-up in a shape of a pumpkin. Her arms draped in white, long sleeves wrap around Hunter’s neck. Her eyes opened, a lovely shade of green she looks at him. And while she didn’t wore the charcoal coat, her maroon-coloured vest definitely paints the picture that the two students were from the same dorm.

"Ah." the student realized, watching as they turned around the corner. Another near miss collision. "That must be that lovey-dovey couple that the others told me about..."

They considered the following options laid out to them: 1) follow the two lovers to see what they’re up to. Or 2) consult with a nearby staff member or dorm leader… although the effectiveness of any leader they come across is unpredictable.

After a moment of deliberation, the student made their choice.

“Nah.”

The student thought in the end, turning around and leaving the lovers to their own devices. "It's not my business; I got class anyways."

Unfortunately, that was not the last of the shenanigans.

“GREAT WITCHES AND HEXES!”

“Pardon me!”

“NOOOO!!! My books…”

“Oh my Grimm! Sorry about that!”

”Whoops! Sorry!”

“HEY! WATCH IT!”

“Hexcuse me!” Hunter ran, cradling Ashlynn in his arms tighter. Dodging almost - keyword almost - effortlessly through the long, endless hallways and many people passing through. His chestnut brown eyes too occupied with the signs above the classrooms.

1-B

As soon as the letters on the sign came into his sight, his boots skirt to a full-on stop.

“Another potential fairy-fail saved!” Hunter gently lowers Ashlynn down from his arms. As soon as her glass high heels touched the ground, he let her go. “And just in time too!”

RING! RING! RING!

Indeed, in record time before the 5 minute warning bell came! Perfect timing!

You know what, as Narrator, I’m gonna let you know this: As she said that, a round of trumpets sang. Not the real trumpets here in the school - the ones in Hunter’s head. Just me and you, the reader, would have to imagine by itself. A moment please for these trumpets in the Narrator world to help demonstrate it if you will!

🎶🎺🎺🎺🎶

Thank you trumpets! Your service is appreciated! 👏😊

(*happy ‘your welcome toot*) 🎺\c:

Bye trumpets! Anyways, back to your scheduled chapter!

“Thank you so much, Pumpkin!” Ashlynn wraps around her boyfriend, leaning into his neck. Hunter hugs her back in return. “You really are my hero!”

They separated from the hug, but their hands remain clasped together. Eyes gazing into each other that hold such fondness.

“But of course, Ash!” Hunter brings a hand to cup his girlfriend’s chin. His hazel eyes softened as he gazed into hers, who leaned into his touch. “It’s the least I could do. Can’t let my girl overwork herself to point she’s late to class.”

“Awww, Hunter!” Ashlynn cooed, placing her hand on top of his. They both leaned in closer and closer—

“Ahem!”

The couple looks over. And both sighed in relief. It was their classmates!

Well, one of their classmates from Ever After High: Maddie! She waves her hands at the highest speed of a pendulum on those things to control the pace of the music. Behind the mad hatress, is a lovely handsome young boy with lavender hair and baby blue eyes. He, on the other hand, has his eyes slightly over to the side. Like he didn’t want to be here witnessing this moment right now.

“Hey… / Hey you two!”

“Oh- hey everyone!” Ashlynn said. She and Hunter separated, both embarrassed.

Ashlynn ties her hands at her back, directing her eyes to the green hallway carpet. As for Hunter, he rubs the back of his neck with his right before moving to his other arm on the side. His eyes land on the ground too, but only for a mere moment.

“What are you all doing here?” Hunter asks.

“Well," Maddie starts, holding her hands together. "there were these amazing trumpets I heard playing outside and—”

“Isn’t it obvious?” The lavender boy cuts her off. Hunter did a double take at the dainty boy’s sudden attitude. “We’re waiting for Ashlynn to come help us in our upcoming History group project.”

Maddie bobs her head up and down, “Oh yes! Epel, Ashlynn, Cupid and I are assigned doing the King of the Beasts for our mini intro unit to the Great Seven!”

“The lion?! That’s wicked cool!”

Epel nods, grinning as eyes Hunter. A sense of fire in his eyes. “I know right? Savanaclaw is so lucky to have him!”

“I’m sorry, Epel and Maddie. I hope that I didn’t make you two worried.” Ashlynn apologizes, before offering a light smile. She gestures a hand over to Hunter. “By fairy godmother’s luck, Hunter helped me get here on time.”

“What about Cupid? Is she here?”

Epel shook his head. Maddie, on the other hand, opens her mouth to say something, only to be stopped. Almost as if something in the air is whispering to her!

Pssssst Maddie! There’s a reason, outside of well… y’know? You got the answer right there!

“Oh right! Cupid sent a message to me earlier! Said she needs to get something.” Maddie ends up saying, snapping her fingers. She then took off her top hat.

Rummaging around her hand in her hat, HONKS, zrrrts! and squeaks resound until she pulls out her bright blue MirrorPad. Epel is the only one who is confused as hell about the logic and physics of this. Ashlynn and Hunter on the other hand, had only a slight surprise which was gotten over quickly.

Sure enough though, she quickly unlocks her device. She turns the tablet around to the lovers, and points to a specific text (or in this case, hext) message.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Cupid: Sorry, Maddie! Gonna be royally absent for class today! I got an unhexpected quick stop coming from back home to help out with a love problem!

Maddie: Oh, it’s alright Cupid! I’ll send you some of the project later! That way you can still help out!

Cupid: Thanks a lot Maddie! ❤️

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

“That checks out.” Epel says, as the others hum in agreement while Maddie puts her MirrorPad back into her top hat.

“Still, it’s quite a miracle you two made on time!” Maddie points out, letting out a wink to the roof once more. She then chuckles, bringing her head back as she puts her hat back on. “And not without running into Riddle! He’d lose his head over your stunts!”

They did, in fact, have a few run-ins with Riddle before.

“Heh, about that…” Hunter starts off, looking off to the side. He chuckles a little at the memory of the rose-red tyrant scolding them. “It’s funny cause we did–”

Suddenly, he stops himself.

“Wait— Prof. Trien?!?”

The three nodded in unison.

“Since when was Prof. Trien your homeroom teacher?! I thought Giles was?!?” Hunter asked, his hands on his head. One question coming after another. That Trien?? The stern teacher with the adorable and fluffy cat?!

“He is.” They answered.

“H-how long?” Is the next question he mustered out, his mind still processing this sudden development.

“A couple days ago, I guess.” Epel reasons, side-eyeing the door.

Ashlynn shrugged in unison. “Giles said something about having some important business—”

“In Ever After!” Maddie chimes in, pulling in her head into the shot and out just as quickly. Ashlynn had a confused look on her face before shaking her head, dismissing it.

“Right… and that Trien co-hosting both his and our homerooms.” Ashlynn continues, puts a hand near her mouth. As she yawns, Hunter’s eyes soften once more but with a forlorn look on his face. He gives Ashlynn a pat on the back, earning a smile from her.

“Yah, so until then I guess we’re stuck…” Epel looks around once more, before adding in a snide pout. Annoyance finally washed over his neutral, soft face. He flicks a thumb over to the door. Under his breath, Epel utters, “With him…”

“Oh c’mon, Epel!” Maddie says, slinging an arm on his shoulder. He looks at her, in which she continues. “He’s not that bad!”

“Easy for you to say; You’re mad!” He retorts, pushing her off and rolling his eyes.

“Why, thank you Epel!” Maddie thanks in a jolly tone, matched with an earnest smile. It was almost as if it wasn’t an insult at all!

Naturally, Epel is taken aback.

“Eh?! That’s not what I–“ Epel stammers. He hit himself with a mental facepalm.

How could he forget?! This girl and classmate of his was the daughter of the Mad Hatter! The maddest and well-known figures in the era of the Queen of Hearts! Of course, she thinks of that as such a compliment!

He relents with a defeated sigh, shaking his head. “Nevermind…”

“She’s right though, Epel.” Ashlynn added in. “We dealt with way worse teachers. Prof. Trien is pretty good compared to Rumpelstiltskin.”

“Rumpelstiltskin…” Epel shivers at the name. Those horror stories his Ever After classmates and dormmates told him… Almost makes it feel as if he was a part of those classes - even though he’s a resident of Twisted Wonderland.

The pop quizzes dropped absolutely out of nowhere! Answers and questions all unrelated to what Ever After kids learned beforehand in their actual classes.

And the spinning…. My god the spinning…

What was even more horrific was how casual they were talking about it! Like it was just an average Tuesday to them! It pales in comparison to the teaching here and his dorm life in Pomefiore.

“Epel! Wonderland to Epel!” Maddie waves her hand in front of his shell-shocked face. She snapped her fingers, jolting Epel out of his trance. “Hatastic! We all thought we lost you there for a second!”

As the two talk, Hunter looks over to Ashlynn.

“So, Ashlynn,” Hunter glances back at Ashlynn, hands behind his back. Tilting his head slightly, he asks, “Are you free after class?”

Much to his dismay, Ashlynn sighs. “I’m sorry Hunter…” Hunter’s shoulders slumped as his eyes fell to the floor. Ashlynn, noticing this, offers a empathetic smile. “But I promise: once me and the Fashion Club finish our commissions this week, we can go out like usual, my treat!”

As soon as the sentence fell from her mouth, Hunter nodded understandably. On the other hand, Epel and Maddie turned over to her. Both eyes widened in surprise.

“Great Seven, y’all doing the dresses?!” Epel exclaimed, a bit of his country accent slipping in.

“Why, yes!” She confirmed with a nod before elaborating, “Although, the Fashion Club is dividing the work into parts to work more efficiently. I am in charge of the shoes since it’s my specialty, Poppy does the hair; you get the picture-book!”

Maddie was counting her fingers, tapping each one as she attempts to calculate in her head. Her hands immediately raised to the sides of her head in alarm.

“Peas and crackers! That’s like half of the whole school you’re dealing with! Aren’t you overworked though?”

With a weak laugh, Ashlynn responds, “Don’t get me on the wrong slipper, it’s fairy-tastic working on them! And helping others create their fairytale dream come true makes me happy!”

“I do get tired, it’s not much I can handle! And besides, I told them I’ll take a break later this week.”

“Still though, take a break when you can Ash!” Hunter says, a sudden sternness in his tone. Maddie jumped a little at the sudden change. Epel arched an eyebrow at Maddie’s sudden alertness. Said girl leans over, to which he lends her an ear.

“Hunter is usually a laid back guy! Seeing him this serious is new!”

“Ah, I see…”

“Don’t worry, I will Hunter.” Ashlynn reassures him, turning to face him.

“Agreed!” Maddie seconds. “You and the rest of the club work hard! If you want, I can take care of some of your portion in our project until you’re well-rested!”

“Yeah! They’re both right!” Epel joins in. The lavender boy brings his both of his fists up in the air in support. “Unless you would like to get an earful from Vil on the importance on self-care, I suggest listening to them.”

“It’s alright you guys, I’m used to it! Thanks for the reminders, but it’s nothing much to worry about.”

Despite the reassurance she gives, there is a sense of melancholy that carries itself within her words. One that gives off a sense of duty, responsibility, and loneliness. Ashlynn has her eyes closed, unaware that Hunter and Maddie look at her with concern.

Epel, on the other hand, looks onto his fellow classmate with seemingly indifference and slight confusion. As the only one of the people there not from Ever After, he couldn’t comprehend much of Ashlynn's whole ordeal other than she was a descendant of the Glass Slipper Princess.

Even so, it’s upsetting to see the descendant of Cinderella holding it altogether when she is clearly tired.

“Attention Class 1-B!”

Trien’s voice booms inside the classroom, startling the quartet. They all turned their heads and took a peek inside. Students shuffling to their chairs, others just looking through their books. Of course, there were also some students who were still busy chit-chatting or playing on their phones and MirrorPads with less of a care in the world.

And there is Professor Trien, sauntering walking over to the board. Lucius, Trien’s cat familiar and pet purrs as his owner rubs his fluffy back. A fond smile graces the elder’s face for only a moment. It then turns into a grim, straight-laced face as he brings his head back up to face the entire room. His clears his throat voice follows, loud and steady:

“Homeroom will begin promptly! Please take your seats.”

With a clap of her hands, Maddie turns to face Ashlynn. Her face instantly reverted back to her usual expression of joy and wonder. Though, the jubilant expression on her face is more akin to a warm hug on a cold day rather than a child excited for their birthday.

Maddie then leans forward, grabbing Ashlynn’s hand and then slinging an arm around the Princess’s shoulder.

“C’mon Ashlynn!” Maddie cheers. Another hand of hers then slings around Epel, pulling the two close together. “And you too Epel!” For someone her height, she is pretty strong. She pumps a fist in the air. “It’s time for class now!”

“It was nice seeing you Hunter!” Hunter gives a respectful nod to both Maddie and Epel. For the former as a goodbye to one of his classmates he knew. As for the latter, to meeting him for the first time alone he believed in his mind.

Ashlynn laughs a little, waving her hand at her boyfriend before going inside. “Bye Hunter! Take care!”

“See you soon too Ashlynn!” He waves back, smiling back while his heart melts into a puddle. A lovestruck smile on his face as he watches.

Once he is sure Ashlynn, Epel, and Maddie are inside, Hunter turns back around. Passing by the halls to his designated classroom: Class 1-C. Not too far from them, but there’s still some distance to walk over there.

Ping!

With a confused brow rising, Hunter stops in his tracks. What is it this time? He opens his faux leather satchel, and digs his hand through there. Let’s see here: a few pencils and erasers, a notebook, miniature emergency loaded crossbow, his lunch–

Ah, there it is!

He pulls out his MirrorPad, housed in its snug camouflage cover which has a slight dust to it. His MirrorPad’s Home Screen welcomes him with a bright wallpaper of the woods in the Enchanted forest back home. There was one new notification.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

[1 New Hext Message from Cupid]

Cupid: Hunter! I got the package you requested! Meet me happily-ever-after school at the Botanical Garden!

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Hunter looks up and looks back into the classroom of 1-B. There, in one of the seats were the trio all chatting with their project in front of them. Ashlynn notices him and sends a small wave with a sweet smile.

He smiles and waves back. Hunter turns his head back down as his fingers types back.

tell me about "do you wanna see the west with me?"

ahhh thank you for asking about one of my WIPs!!!! (from the WIP title game)

do you wanna see the west with me? is my destiel college!AU road trip fic <3

summary: When car trouble disrupts his plans to road trip to California to meet a girl, Castiel Novak finds himself with an unlikely travel partner -- Dean Winchester, his group project partner from class. As they make their way west in Dean's Impala, driven by Castiel's search for love, the boys discover that it can be found in the most unexpected of places.

pairings: Dean/Castiel, Dean/Benny, Castiel/Hannah

here's my playlist for this fic, and an excerpt from chapter 1 beneath the cut:

“Oh, I’m not flying there.” That cuts through the weird static in Dean’s brain. “You’re driving to California?” Cas nods. “In your truck?” Cas furrows his brow, regarding Dean with confusion. “Yes, in my truck. Why?” Dean lets out a low whistle. He’s heard the grinding noise that comes out of that beast of a machine every time Cas starts the engine, but given the age and condition of the truck, a faulty starter might be the least of Cas’ problems. “When’s the last time you had any work done on that thing?” They’ve reached the parking lot, at this point, and Cas crosses his arms defensively as Dean eyes it from afar. “I’m a college student, Dean. You can imagine that car maintenance isn’t exactly at the top of my list of financial priorities.” “Hey, man, no judgment here. I just don’t want you breaking down on the side of the highway before you make it to see your girl.” At that, Cas seems to relax a bit. “Look. Why don’t you drop by the garage later this week and I’ll take a look at her? Change your oil, fill up your tires, make sure everything is good to go. I’ll give you the family and friends discount.” “Are you sure?” Dean punches Cas in the shoulder lightly. “Yeah, come on. Otherwise I’m just going to be worried about you having to hitchhike in, like, buttfuck nowhere Utah and getting picked up by a serial killer or something.” At the quizzical look that remark earns, Dean flushes a bit. “I close up the shop on Fridays. Come by at the end of my shift and I’ll get you squared away.” “That’s… very kind of you, Dean.” “I’ll take that as a yes, then.” Dean smiles, and it’s normal that he’s excited at the idea of seeing Cas outside of campus. That’s a totally normal thing to feel. And he’s being totally normal about it as he climbs into the Impala halfway through saying a hasty goodbye. “I’ll text you the address. Good luck with your finals! See you later.” Cas waves, still looking confused, but Dean’s already got the car running and in reverse.

“California Botanic Garden is the largest garden devoted to California native plants.” The 86 acre garden contains over 6,000 species of native plants, including many rare plants (e.g., one tree only has six left in nature) that are found in very limited areas (e.g., on Catalina Island, Channel Islands, etc.). The garden started on Susanna Bixby Bryant’s estate in Orange County and was known as the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens. The collection moved to the grounds of Claremont College once she passed.

The garden is not highly manicured. Trees that die and fall over are left in the garden. Weeds abound. Some plants don’t look like they’re doing that well. But it is a nice, large garden to stroll in for an hour or two. Most of the paths are covered in asphalt.

There are various areas where you can see many trees (pine, junipers, redwoods, oak, Joshua trees, laurel trees, buckeyes, sycamores), some cacti, and bushes. Also, there’s an outdoor classroom, Tongva village, butterfly garden, ponds, wildflowers (e.g., California poppies), etc. We spotted falcons that are different than the ones we usually see in NELA.

There are various staff buildings and also some outdoor artwork. Many plants had descriptive signs.

General admission is $10 with discounts for seniors, students, and children. There is a small gift shop (kiosk) by the entrance, a nursery that’s open seasonally, events and classes, and free parking. There are only two restrooms and none are by the entrance, so plan accordingly. There is no café but they have picnic tables right by the entrance.

Mastering Your CA Dreams: Best CA Foundation Books in Pune for Beginners

If you're on the journey to become a Chartered Accountant, then trust me—you’re in for an exciting ride! And like any epic journey, it begins with the right tools. In this case? The right CA Foundation book.

Especially if you're in Pune, a city buzzing with CA aspirants, choosing the best book is half the battle won. Let's dive deep into the world of CA Foundation books, why they matter, and where you can get the best ones.

Introduction to CA Foundation Journey

So, you're just starting on your CA journey? That’s fantastic!

The CA Foundation is your stepping stone. It’s not just about passing exams—it's about building a rock-solid base. And every successful CA out there? They started just like you—with a few books, a goal, and a whole lot of hustle.

Why Choosing the Right Book Matters

Think of your CA Foundation book as your compass. A wrong one, and you're heading off-course. A good one, and you're already halfway to cracking the exam.

Updated Content as per ICAI Syllabus

The ICAI syllabus updates regularly. So, if your book isn’t in sync, you're wasting time on outdated stuff.

Easy-to-Understand Language

Let’s be real—complex jargon doesn’t help. You need a book that talks to you like a mentor, not like a lawyer.

Practice Questions & Mock Tests

Books that include sample papers, past year questions, and mock tests are gold. They help you practice smart, not just hard.

Top Subjects Covered in CA Foundation Books

A good CA Foundation book should cover all four papers thoroughly:

Principles and Practice of Accounting

This one's the backbone. You’ll learn everything from journal entries to trial balances. A book with step-by-step examples makes it super digestible.

Business Laws and Business Correspondence

You need a book that explains laws like a story, not like a court case. And for correspondence? Templates and formats are a big win.

Business Mathematics and Logical Reasoning

Maths made simple. A good book should break down formulas, tricks, and shortcuts, especially for Pune’s fast-paced student life.

Business Economics and Commercial Knowledge

A mix of theory and practice. Think of it as understanding how the real world does business, made student-friendly.

Best CA Foundation Books Available in Pune

Now, let’s talk options. Pune’s coaching culture is strong, and so are its study resources.

Unique Academy for Commerce’s In-House Publications

One of the best coaching centres in Pune, Unique Academy for Commerce offers custom books designed by expert faculty. These books are structured according to the latest ICAI pattern, packed with examples, MCQs, and practical tips.

Recommended Books by ICAI

Yes, ICAI also publishes official books. They’re detailed and highly reliable. But here’s the thing—they can be a bit dense. So pair them with simpler versions for better clarity.

Where to Buy CA Foundation Books in Pune

You’ve got plenty of places to grab your book in Pune. Here are your top options:

Online Platforms

Amazon, Flipkart, and even ICAI’s official site have these books. Fast delivery, verified reviews, and discounts are a bonus.

Local Bookstores & Coaching Institutes

How to Study Smart with These Books

Got the books? Awesome. But it’s not just what you read—it’s how you read.

Create a Study Schedule

Don’t try to swallow the ocean in a day. Break chapters into bite-sized sessions. Keep weekends for revision and tests.

Make Use of Revision Notes

Good books include summary notes. Use these as quick refreshers before exams.

Join Study Groups or Online Classes

Studying in groups keeps you motivated. Join Pune-based groups or online classes to discuss doubts and practice papers.
