The happy, the unhappy and filling the gap Happiness is a subject that has been much chewed over the past couple weeks here in Cobberland. With Symposium and the President’s Seminar having their entireties devoted to happiness, I would love to share my ideas on the subject. Symposium’s take on happiness seemed to be in…
I could begin this article like every valedictorian speech: a loud, ringing, smiley, “we did it” flying out of my face for all to hear. Instead, I feel like asking myself a question. What have I done with these years? As I enter my senior year with 700 other people I think about the ways…
The end of the year is here. I have a lot of weird apprehensions I think. My year has been filled with weird realizations, moments and a list of things I am just 500 percent done with right now. I will be ending my junior year, and it has gone faster than any year here…
My cobber kids, I need to let you know something. No matter how wise I may seem, I am still an idiot. Many reasons contribute to this like that phase in high school when slapping someone hello was okay or when I thought a baby-doll tee was super cute on me. Today I will focus…
Dearest Cobber Beanie Students, this week has been a full week for most. With a lot of us fighting to schedule presentations, group projects, papers and final projects, it is pretty common to notice that you haven’t seen a majority of your friends—for nearly a month! We come to class (sometimes) and feel out of…
Hey Cobbers, I know last week I was a bit pessimistic, and while I still think we have a ways to go, I can’t deny that we Cobbers do it right in supporting each other when it comes down to it. We have each other’s backs, and when I came here I was taught what…
Ok people. Now it may seem like I have everything together and that I am really, really ridiculously good-looking and never have problems, but I would love to have some real talk with you. Unfortunately, stunning good looks and a charming personality make it really easy for the world to think that someone’s life is…
My spring-fresh Cobbers, how I have missed you! Welcome back from break! And for those of you here the whole time…Why didn’t you visit me? To be honest you would have had to actually schedule something because all I did was work or sleep. In case you were wondering, I work at the Courtyard by…
Hey party people! If you are at all like me you count down the days you get to go home and sleep in your not-twin bed and play a little game called philosophy-is-too-a-major! And maybe, if you are like me a little bit, you get to be a little defensive when your family goes, “God,…
Oh February. The many things you bring to me are unrivaled in their greatness. I mean, the one day a year when being pathologically single is frowned upon, and a day for small rodents and other various small holidays. I think that although February may be the smallest month, it does not bring us the…
