That’s the issue with meeting people over a screen, if Zoom and iMessage can really be considered “meeting” — your first impressions are going to be nowhere near as accurate as they would’ve been in person. Mine weren’t. That’s just the truth.
With the Sex and The City reboot, “And Just Like That..” coming soon to HBO Max, I decided to re-watch the show from the beginning. It was my third time. And for the third time I wondered… Why didn’t Carrie end up with Aidan?
As we look onward to the fall, I have this to say to the student body: Stay safe, get vaccinated, and wear a mask. I know it feels like the goal post keeps moving every time we get close to the finish line. However, it’s still up to us to keep each other and our community safe.
Whenever an American is murdered, we have to take it personally.
Every time I go to the Walmart in Oxford, I see at least five people without masks. Most of them give me looks, as if I’m the one who’s doing something wrong for wearing one.
I already cherish those earlier, louder years.
While I can’t stop these things from happening, I can give you some of the tools to rebuild yourself after.
The legacy I want to leave at Miami is motivating and empowering our community to actively fight for respect and be critical of our purpose.

It's become increasingly and vitally important to give ourselves a moment. To take upon ourselves the responsibility to recuperate our personal mental health.
But it meant everything to him, which is why it meant something to me.
That’s right. Not only will we no longer be allowed to take an ounce of the stress off with a later credit/no credit deadline, but we also are seeing a heightened standard to graduate with Latin honors.
There’s something about accepting admission into a college, only to find out that its student body is considered to be one of the prettiest in the nation, and looking into that bathroom mirror, wondering if you’ll be enough.
The OU v. Miami rivalry that I had known about and participated in for the grand majority of my life, is completely one sided. Like … embarrassingly one sided.
All of this is messed up. But if you compare it to what the women in my family have gone through, it feels small.
