When I first glanced at your post, I sincerely wondered whether withnoghjng was, like, some kind of Korean food.

I'm curious what specific examples of teen films and youth culture you studied

(Sorry if it's weird that I put the course titles in quotes. I now work as an editor for the magazine and website of the college I graduated from, and that's part of our house style; it feels wrong to me *not* to format course titles that way. 😄)
