If its a good college there will be an immense diversity in the interests of staff and students
>99% if students: latest netlfix show and whatever books they like reading which is almost certaintly not consitent between people
>20%: video games and anime, no books outside of fantasy
>20%: a firm minority that reads either
>5%: "patrician" readers of lit who are probably way out of your league
>sociology and politician science teachers: start with Foucault, but they have decades of readings under their belt and they keep up with the news
>law teachers: mostly read the news, law reports and whatever specific autistic thing thing they like such as Chaucer
>STIM: can't help you there
Just develop your own interests, get invovlved with clubs and be nice to your teachers and you will be fine.

whatever you like the most so you can appear as a genuine person and speak about your interests instead of being the fraudulent twerp you are right now.
>inb4 no interests yet
That's even better. Shut up and ask people about themselves and whatever classes you take read the appropriate secondary literature. You'll be a god damn star
Tyson is pretty good, so is Sagan-Bill Nye too. You need to make sure you're reading modern relevant stuff, so maybe toss Rupi Kaur into that mix. I heard JK Rowling had a new book, so probably that one too.

College is materialistic garbage and a complete joke. When you get there you will see that most people are just as superficial as they are in high school. Even if you have fun, you won't be happy. Enjoy being barraged and brainwashed whether you like it or not.
