"[The campaign] is about what Wash. U. is willing to do for people outside of the Wash. U. community and my sense is that students are really re- sponding to that," said Biggs. Tying the course evalua- tions to a community service fundraiser has indeed caught students' attention. ...
Looking back on it now, I remember that I was in the chorus and the drama club, but I do not know the names of the plays or my parts in them. Being a relatively tall and inconsistent tenor, I was always cast as the father figure without a singing part. “Pravda, pravda…it is t...
Plenty of people heal in many ways and still do other things; I’m not saying the way I did it is in any way a must, it was just the way I had to do it. Through the journey, on many levels I’ve understood healing is really important — and the impact of healing spreads out ...
My goal was that she and I would one day perform together. I also wanted to perform in public with and for my peers, and to be secretly envied. I continued to play, to perform, but it is not the same. Before, when I heard a cello, it was all beauty and light. Now, as the ...

She knows she needs to find the missing girl before she can sleep at night. Proof is 458 pages long and took me five days to read. I’m giving this book a 3.5 out of 5. I found Jilly really compelling and found myself needing to know the truth. Even though it is on the longer...
And today, if the pod runs out when I have 6 blocks to go, I’ll remind myself that I have one job. Even if it feels icky to write it. (Insert that little green emoji that looks like it’s about to barf.) I do have one job. My job is to love myself. At the end of th...
