Election Reflection: Maya Arthur C'18

I usually like the rain. But walking out of my house Wednesday morning, the rain felt hostile. Like the tips of sharp knives and pitchforks and they kept hitting me.

So much has already been said across this campus and on our News Feeds, but once again we are only hearing from those who share our exact same opinions.

All my life growing up my older brothers taunted me with “well there has never been a woman president,” when I insisted women were just as intelligent or capable as them.

Election Reflection: Emma Hetrick C'18

I think it is important to remember that we live in a country where we can not only express our feelings of discontent with the governmental administration, but that we can do so openly, without fear of lawful persecution.

Election Reflection: Talia Beck C'17

1) I've seen a lot of people worried that Trump will overturn the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage (among others). Trump doesn't actually have the power to do that alone; in order to overturn a SCOTUS ruling, there has to either be another SCOTUS ruling or a constitutional amendment.

Election Reflection: Andreas Pavlou C'19

While I would not like to speak for everyone, I think it is safe to generally say that it can be hard to love yourself in America if you identify as any sort of minority or marginalized person. While it’s always going to be hard to identify as an “other” there are some things that can make it better.
