Hopkins is a diverse university where an incredible mix of cultures, academic interests and personalities coexist and thrive. Here is the section where you can publish your unique thoughts, ideas and perspectives on life at Hopkins and beyond.
I was in love with Hopkins a week after I arrived. The campus was beautiful, my classes were more interesting than anything I had ever taken in high school, I was meeting tons of amazing new people and I was thrilled about all the great things I would be able to do in Baltimore.
Nov. 1, 1896 — National Geographic shows a woman with bare breasts for the first time.
I first heard of the 30-day challenge in high school when a friend sent me a short TED Talk video by Matt Cutts. This Google-employed computer scientist had made a habit of trying out a daily challenge for 30 days, from biking to work to taking a photograph each day. Impressed by the adventurous spirit the challenge had cultivated in this self-described “desk-dwelling computer nerd,” I agreed to try several challenges with my friend.
Donald Trump
With campaign season come campaign materials, the brightly colored manifestations of our candidates that boil down the issues to a pithy phrase or unflattering picture of an opponent. We’ve all seen the lawn signs, bumper stickers, T-shirts and campaign buttons, but what have their hues, patterns and slogans been doing in the backs of our minds as we consider the major issues of the day?
My parents know who they’re voting for in this election, and it’s not Trump.
Hillary Clinton is a cold-hearted manipulative android designed by focus groups. Bernie Sanders doesn’t own a hairbrush. Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. Haha. Hilarious. Some real knee-slappers.
To anyone that read my tasteless, needless and generally horrible article on the 1996 murder of Hopkins student Rex T. Chao, I am extremely sorry. Making light of someone’s death in the context of Halloween was an idiotic and insensitive decision. I apologize for making light of a real life tragedy that had such a grave impact on the campus.
