Yes, it always seems like I only trip when I’m in a really good mood and that whenever I’ve been having a good day, I run into the turnstiles outside the AMRs. While my natural clumsiness has acclimatized me to this fact of life, there are certain aspects of Hopkins that have really helped transform these experiences from a mere nuisance into a truly spectacular display of stupidity. I don’t quite know what it is about happiness that seems to attract bad luck, but I’ve come to associate one with the other. If I’ve gotten a good grade on a test, I know I’m about to walk into a glass door. If I’m listening to some really good music, I know that I’m about to stab myself on a pen while reaching into my backpack.

Though my parents and pop culture tried to warn me against the dangers of college life — sex, drugs and drinking milkshakes in the yard — no one had anticipated the area of moral ambiguity I am currently stuck in. Ever since I started living the high life of mice-infested dorms and learned the secret to rationing FFC meal swipes, I have become a bit of a thief (sorry Mom).

In spite of what movies have tried to tell me over the years, spring break doesn’t really feel like some reckless adventure at the end of which I somehow learn that the only real way to be cool is to have friends who care about you or something (I never watch all the way through). Instead it’s more of a war of attrition between the part of me that knows I should be doing homework and the part of me that really wants to watch one more episode of House of Cards. Though whether you’re out there carpe diem-ing or binge-watching Netflix, I suspect break still ends the same way for everyone: With an intense feeling of panic as you realize that you haven’t done any of the stuff you told yourself you would and that you have six midterms and a paper due next week (don’t know who thought that was a good idea). Or maybe that experience is unique to me. In that case please excuse me because I have some crying I need to do.

Somehow when I find out I have three midterms and a paper due next week, my brain decides it’s a good time to go on vacation and leave me on my own to face the wrath of Intro Chem Lab. And so I’m left there crying into the cup of ice cream I’ve stolen from the FFC as I try to think of better excuses not to start studying.

I’ve been part of conversations with people, who moments before were complete strangers, where I suddenly know everyone’s views on abortion and wall building. Candidates are quoted like celebrities, Trump-isms peppering discourse like the worst seasoning to have ever existed. It was quite the culture shock.
