Ed Observers
nostalgia
I want to be obsessed again
I desperately miss teenage obsession. There is something so exhilarating and precious about our deepest infatuations from when we were young teenagers.
caffeine
Sue Connections!
You aren’t paying for a cold brew, calling it one is misleading, and there are these really cool things called lawsuits!
accountability
Censored: CT pushed from Public Safety coverage
Any process relating to the DPS — the University’s private, hardly-accountable policing system — needs to be brought into the public awareness.
marriage
Wealth, suffering, and child marriage
There’s always something so shameful about acknowledging your privilege. But I know I am lucky. I am a part of Bangladesh’s minority.
name

college

advice
Senior year… can hardly believe it

culture
Festivals and FOMO: International student edition
As an international student, being away from home means being disconnected from cultural traditions. And in all honesty, I don’t know how to do a better job of keeping up to date with everything.
