Too often do I walk around campus and hear people say dismissively, "That's so freshman," or "What do they know? They're only a freshman." The truth is, we are freshmen... but we also have opinions, and opinions worth articulating. I want to be a spokesperson for the freshman class and advocate on our behalf in the Undergraduate Assembly so that our ideas can be voiced and our grievances aired. We are the youngest class at Penn, but this also means that we are the future of Penn. It's not a responsibility to be taken lightly, and I intend to give it all my all. One of my ideas is to modify the dining hall hours; on weekends it's extremely difficult to eat meals at normal times, and oftentimes the halls close too early. I’d like to lobby for campus-sponsored weekend events open to all students. And two words: dorm bathrooms.
