I’m starting to realize that, just as I’ll never find the single interpretation of a poem or novel, I’ll never have “it” quite figured out.

I used to obsess over being remembered. If my name was on enough walls or mastheads, it would prove that all the hours were worth it.

I loved, and still love, Penn, and I woke up on my plastic twin mattress feeling grateful to be here. But I also saw a campus steeped in classism, bigotry, and sexism.

I understand now the importance of balance and the value of just being present with those you love.
