?I love learning. I love learning. I love learning.? This was my friend?s mantra as she looked at her calendar, highlighted with a hectic schedule of endless lectures, precepts, seminars and office hours ? each with its own ensuing work.
Last Friday, I tried to donate blood. I hydrated throughout the day, walked across campus for my 2 p.m.
Regarding ?In 2008 survey, 1 in 6 female undergraduates reported non-consensual vaginal penetration? (Monday, March 4, 2013)I agreed to be interviewed because I was excited for the opportunity to elevate the issue of sexual assault in the campus consciousness and help spark student interest in related activism.
Over the last several years, the number of reports to the Honor Committee identifying students working over time during an examination increased dramatically.
Regarding ?Editorial: Sex reassignment surgery? (Monday, March 4, 2013)I am pleased the Editorial Board came out in support of ?sex reassignment surgery.? The endorsement to 1) go beyond limitations set by insurers and 2) support trans Princetonians as part of our institutional commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive community should be applauded.
Though Princeton does not have a law school, Princetonians have Sonia Sotomayor ?76, Elena Kagan ?81 and Samuel Alito ?72 currently in the Supreme Court as examples of those who successfully made it into the world of law.

Over the past few years, the Wilson School has undergone dramatic changes in its undergraduate program.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I was an idealist, OK? Seduced by the romantic freedom college offered, I made a choice that now seems absurd.
