A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift, 1792 - My writing teacher calls this the most famous essay of all time. It's a shame i hadn't read it prior to this semester; it's quite amusing.
Note-taking strategies for students - I do a pretty good job of writting stuff down during class but hardly ever refer back to it when reviewing. (via MeFi)
Planarity - A game based upon mathematical graph theory. I learned last semster that all puzzles should have a solution unless they have a subgraph homeoporphic to K_{5} or K_{3,3}.
What You'll Wish You'd Known by Paul Graham - It was written for a high school audience but i've found it interesting and go back to reread it every now and then. (via /.)
