Unfortunately, many of these students are uninformed about the reality of elite college admissions so they don’t provide us with the necessary information to “chance” them correctly.

I am skittish about relationships, as most of the marriages I’ve seen up close have been ruinous for one or both parties.

Examples include Grettir's Saga, Njál's Saga, Egil's Saga, and the Saga of Eric the Red.

The saga is marked by literary and social conventions including warriors who stop in the midst of combat to recite extemporaneous poetry, individuals wearing dark blue cloaks when they are about to kill someone, elaborate genealogies and "back-story" before the main plot, casual violence, and recitations of the names and features of magical swords and weapons.

In England, however, the English Queen Consort (a queen married to a ruling husband) can become the Queen Regnant (a queen ruling in her own right) if her husband dies and there are no other male relatives in line to inherit the throne.

Likewise, in French Salic Law, if the queen remarries after the king dies, any children she has from the new husband cannot claim the throne.
