…T his election cycle has seen a carousel of hot topics ranging from whether we should accept Syrian refugees to which bathrooms individuals can and can’t use. In this series of debates, one thing that has become increasingly clearer is that the United States may be facing a polarization crisis. Though I would argue that polarization isn’t inherently bad, the real problem lies within our inability to understand opinions d...…
…My throat was as dry as my feet were sore. I wedged my way upstairs through sweaty dancing bodies and walked into the room of a guy I considered a friend. I was just going to grab water and that’s when he grabbed me. He clasped his arm tightly around my waist and pulled me toward his bed, attempting to lock the door behind me. I was close enough to smell the alcohol on his breath and hear his soft slurred plea, “Come on.” That’...…
…F ather’s Day always sneaks up on me. I’ll be studying or watching TV, and all of a sudden an ad will appear, always saying something like “Here’s the best gift you can get for your dad” or something. The pang that always comes along with seeing stuff father-related doesn’t sting as much as it once did — I’m usually able to move on with my day without any issue. I’ve learned that this type of pain isn’t going away, but I...…
…I ntimate partner violence is an issue that has long been kept in the shadows of law and media; it wasn’t until 1994 that the Violence Against Women Act was passed, and it was discussed as only a public health concern as late as the ‘70s.

…I t seems that society has a sort of rule of thumb in which artists are forgiven by history for their “strange behavior” because of their ability to create celebrated pieces, such as movies, books, etc. By “strange behavior,” I don’t mean the unusual oddities exhibited by geniuses, such as Nikola Tesla’s supposed habit of flexing his toes one hundred times a day. I’m talking about the more heinous crimes that were eit...…

…I ’m a firm believer that relationships of all kinds — be it platonic, sexual, romantic, familial, etc. — take work, as I’m sure most other people are. Someone recently told me, “You don’t seem like the kind of person who’d waste time doing something they’re not good at.” They’re right. It’s why I don’t play basketball or try to be a model with my 4-foot-11- inch stature. It’s why my subpar mathematical abilitie...…
…I used to be able to sit down and read, uninterrupted, for hours. Same with movies and award shows — I would intently observe, connect with the material and try my hardest to remember why I liked it so I could tell my friends later.

While these questions are common, they are...…
