Gays and straights alike often bring up the topic of gay marriage with me ? they want to rejoice in this judicial victory or poke fun at that idiotic Republican for his archaic views on marriage, and, as a left-leaning gay person, I am expected to join in.

Editorial: Sexual assault awareness

In 2008, several University offices conducted a survey on the sexual experiences of Princeton undergraduates from the Classes of 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, with the goal of quantifying the prevalence of sexual assault on campus.

Unnecessary exclusivity in extracurriculars

Barbara Zhan

It’s freshman orientation week, and the campus is in high gear. I’m a clueless new froshling, wearing a free Class of 2016 t-shirt and a lanyard holding my prox around my neck.

Behind the scenes

Honestly, I had my doubts about the ?What I Be? campaign. Created by Steve Rosenfield, the ?What I Be? project spreads awareness about the issues that people suffer from on a daily basis by photographing participants with their insecurities written on their bodies.

Friendships at Princeton

Prianka Misra

On a frigid Thursday night, I donned my gloves and buried myself in a thickly knit scarf and began my trek up campus to Witherspoon Hall.

Sitting in my adviser?s office with four days to the official start of my freshman fall, I glanced over my course registration form over and over again.

Losing face, setting precedents

I awoke on Monday to find an email from a good friend with the subject line ?happy monday? containing only a hyperlink to the comments section of an article on The Daily Princetonian?s website.

Hometown pride

Last Saturday was Texas Independence Day, and seeing the Princeton Texans Club table set up in Frist, with our giant Lone Star flag and representatives decked out in Stetson hats and cowboy boots, reminded me once again of how much pride I have in my home state.

Advice on advising

Princeton?s advising system is weak. For whatever reason, it doesn?t seem to be able to institutionally provide good advising in terms of academic, career planning or independent work.

My other college romance

I was an idealist, OK? Seduced by the romantic freedom college offered, I made a choice that now seems absurd.

College: to gather together

In the past couple of weeks, columnists Rich Daker and Susannah Sharpless have both presented us, in their own ways, a vision of what a college education ? a Princeton education in particular ? is all about.

Change is tough. Sociologist Max Weber famously remarked that ?politics is the strong and slow boring of hard boards.? Progress, in other words, does not come easily: One must fight tooth and nail.

Last week the ?Prince? reported a groundswell, or at least a tremor, of support for a plan to make the Wednesday before Thanksgiving a de jure vacation day ? currently, it is merely a de facto day off.

Health in mind: Keep the conversation going

It is with some hesitation that we offer this criticism of Mental Health Week. We have been deeply moved by the narratives posted online ? indeed, they have inspired our own reflections ? and we hope that our thoughts are not read as an attack on a necessary call for awareness.

Watching the bungee jump

It?s the end of March, and this year, as usual, professors are sleepless in New Jersey. Every morning for the last couple of weeks, I have risen from my comfortable bed at an even more ungodly hour than usual, padded to the kitchen in search of caffeine, and then plunked myself in front of the computer to see what my seniors have sent me.Most days, the catch is plentiful: one or more long chapters, packed with material, appear, attached to an email sent between 4:00 and 6:00 AM.

Having just re-entered the world of academia after a year off from Princeton, I reckon now is a good time to think more deeply about what I’m getting from my formal education.
