Rather than reminiscing, I thought I’d just share a bunch of mini life lessons from my past four years. Because mini things are better. And they take themselves less seriously.

I’m going to make a bold statement here and say I’m looking forward not just to senior year, but also graduation.

If you focus all your attention on getting wasted, you’ll miss how great Fling can be even without alcohol.

Now more than ever before, a peer counseling program would be appropriate for our campus. It would be an excellent way to enhance unity as well as provide a valuable service for students.

There’s a difference between having more options for self-expression and information and using digital skill as an identity.

I wish real differences in priorities played a larger role in this year’s UA presidential and vice-presidential elections, rather than "unity" of everyone's priorities.

Grades are overrated. Yeah, I said it. Grades are so arbitrary, it’s hard to take them seriously as an indicator of future success. Just work hard in your classes, and take the ones you want to work hard in.

The key for university libraries is balance between digital and print information. But perhaps in the future, this balance should be reconsidered.

Universities can play a role in improving K-12 instruction, whether by supporting schools in the community, as Penn does, or producing graduates who will affect the education system.

Hopefully we can make sexual violence awareness more discussion based and bring more of the campus into the dialogue.
