Studying Abroad in a Pandemic: Thoughts a year later

I moved into the dorms this year knowing that on that same day in 2020, I was moving to Oxford, England to study at Oxford. I can’t believe it has been a year. I have so many feelings about that, and as many more students are able to study abroad now (rather than just two students in fall 2020), I wanted to reflect.

Emma Chamberlain is my best friend

my best friend. In fact, I’m probably not her number one fan, even though I do consistently watch her videos and listen to her podcast. And, in all honesty...

Anti-abortion has no place on campus

When my little brother was 17, he learned how to skateboard for the first time. He got his first job and he saved up for his first car. He fell in love with mechanics, and he found the technical school of his dreams. These, however, weren’t all of the firsts that happened in his last year of childhood. When my little brother was 17, he also found out he was becoming a father.

Humble Tea: Chiseling words from feelings

I am a big fan of the written word. To me, the processes of writing and reading are some of the best ways to know what you think and think what you know. Like all of us, I have a lot of gut feelings as I experience life going by from day to day.

Sometimes, the answer to these questions is not obvious, sometimes to a painful extent.

The necessity of party-poopery

It’s easy to find things to critique about the two-party system in these United States. From “being out of touch with the electorate” to “enriching themselves with a false dichotomy,” there are all sorts of ways one can credibly squint angrily at the political...

Let’s talk about acne
