Public service demands a commitment of the self and should be a position of honor and dignity that all aspire to in their professional careers beyond our four years at Princeton.
While Princeton’s research and teaching in the areas of climate change, decarbonization, and sustainability are commendable, the fact remains that Princeton’s investments do not align with the values and imperatives that rise from the knowledge it is producing and disseminating in these areas.
We have plenty of opportunities at Princeton to get to know our professors; we need only to take them.
“Ok, boomer” isn’t exacerbating the generational divide in a way that misnames the target of youth angst.
While it’s incredibly frustrating to see seemingly everyone get job offers (and the security that comes along with it), it would be far more frustrating to be applying to jobs in fields that aren’t relevant to our interests or skill sets.
My suggestion, though more modest, could lead to more radical outcomes for our privacy: change Tigerbook to a purely opt-in system.
If the goal of fire safety inspections is to stop violations that endanger the lives of the members of our community, then why should we not be willing to spend some more money in adopting a more effective — and more prudent — inspection policy?

As important as it is to acknowledge issues and challenges on campus, it is equally crucial that we find the right spaces for the right conversations.
Once we get settled into our Princeton experience, unfortunately, we rarely venture beyond the comfort of our selected friend group.
Tragically, Tigerbook is a shell of what it used to be.
It is critical that we acknowledge the essentiality of menstrual products and work to lift discriminatory taxes and increase accessibility for women across the world.
As Princeton students, we like to think we can craft a perfectly structured, well-reasoned argument on the first try. The fact that in many cases, we cannot rewrite our essays, only reinforces this misconception.
Even if Jesus were straight, and even if queer joy manifests in blasphemous fashions (whatever that means), queer people should still be free, loved, and embraced for their queerness.
Though the balance between challenging us with new theories and giving us the opportunity to truly engage in genuine discourse is delicate, it must be met. Let’s create a pedagogy that places the student at the center. Let’s stop raising our hands.
