  When I first stepped foot onto Scripps campus, I was excited and incredibly nervous. I hadn’t the slightest idea of what awaited me, and I didn’t know anyone. It was like the beginning of middle school all over again. But I looked forward to getting to know people and learning more about the campus […]

   Art by Emily Audet This weekend, I went to Mudd Goes Madd, and while I was dancing with my friends, a male student came up behind me, pressed his body into mine, placed his arms on my waist, and began to dance with me by guiding my hips to move synchronously with his. This […]

I recently attended the 58th Biophysical Society Meeting in San Francisco, and I can only describe the entire four-day experience as overwhelming. There were talks by scientists and scholars at the top of their fields, including the National Lecture given by Carlos Bustamante, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and essentially the equivalent […]

  I would consider myself to be a self-described music junkie, an album enthusiast, and record obsessed. I like and collect most music that comes my way, creating a lot of levels of terrible guilty music pleasures. But it wasn’t until recently that I cared to look more closely at the content of what I […]

  Scripps, obviously, is a liberal college. It is impermissible to be anything to the right of militantly pro-choice and vaguely socialist. Which is why the Elizabeth Hubert Malott Public Affairs Program is so fascinating. The speaker series, which began in the 2006-07 school year, specifically brings conservative political actors to campus for the purpose […]

  This winter break I had the luxury of reading for pleasure. During this time, I was able to read a few young adult novels, and I was surprised. Nearly all of these stories had some sort of romance, and I was surprised by how many love triangles there were in these books.  I understand […]

  I remember being a high-school student, just beginning to foray into the possibilities of my future, when our career counselor explained to us that we would all be taking a survey to determine our personalities and the career options that best fit them. I distinctly recall being slightly unnerved. Sure, I was a little […]

    Ever since I can remember, adults have told me things such as “You’ll understand when you have children” or “You should save those toys for when you have kids.” Parenthood has always been a when, not an if, for me and – from what I have heard of others’ experiences – for many other people. […]
