I’ve got a pair of blue-ish pants. But they aren’t just plain blue, devoid of any other form of expression. They’re dotted up and down with black and white geese, a sharp contrast that captures the eye.
Freshmen and the Mouse: TU/TD
It’s these trials and tribulations that shape us into who we are. College just makes this process all the more emphatic.
The First Last: TU/TD
Thumbs Up Something I’m Not – Before writing this, I looked back at the first ever Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down that I wrote back in December. I was new, and the glorious legacy of the previous thumbs made me feel as if I had to replicate their style. As I reflect on this semester, I’m coming to…
