Expectations

After more than a week without a phone or computer, it was slightly intimidating to return to an inbox of 91 emails. It was weird to type again and to look at a computer screen. It was refreshing to actually be with people all the time instead of interacting with them via a computer screen. [...]

Kruptastic, colon, We’ll Kick the KRUP Out of You!

27 Tufts peeps, ~10 days, 33.5 hours one-way on a bus, 141 students & staff, 1 front page of the Daily, countless memories, and more numbers and corresponding corny comments I could try to think of.

Yeah, I was [...]

Reality Check

Are you facing hell week? Yes, it makes sense that all we, as college students, think about is work, work, activities, work, food, work, future, work, and more work. College can get overwhelming. Not that I don’t love college, but interacting with people outside my age group this past week has been surprisingly more influential [...]
