Your World Today: Who Let Me In Here?

  When I walked into The Slate office for the first time this semester, I sat down at our conference table. No big deal, right? Except for the fact that I had a desk.

It is the desk of The Slate’s Managing Editor: For the first time, that title belongs to me.

Your World Today: Do what you love, not what you can

The glory of college is not in finding out what you are good at but what you are truly interested in. I am a self-diagnosed overachiever, and I fully embrace the fact that I have done a lot of things to be praised. For the past three years I had the mindset that I can and will do anything anyone asks of me­. I wish I knew as a freshman that just because I can do something does not mean I have to.

Your World Today: My Aunt Jill

In your lifetime, there will be people who help shape you into the person you become. For me, it was my Aunt Jill. It is impossible to describe the love and connection I and everyone in my family had for Jill. She was kind, caring, stubborn and tenacious. Most of my childhood memories revolve around her spending valuable time with me and taking my siblings and I on new experiences.
