OPINION

Desire paths are for sheep

You are not a trailblazer for taking desire paths. You are not staging a silent rebellion. Rather, these pathways, more strongly than sidewalks, represent the absence of freedom from industrial control. 


OPINION

In the blink of an eye

  In the moment, the days feel long and the weeks are stretched, but when we reminisce, it is as if time can’t seem to slow down. Unbeknownst to my first-year self, the next four years would fly by. 


OPINION

Is ignorance bliss or is being naive bliss?

I could not wrap my head around the fact of how I said ‘bye’ and ‘see you soon’ so casually, because how could something so tragic, ugly and horrible happen? But, car accidents as a result of drunk driving occur with greater frequency than commonly perceived.


During their time at The Miami Student, Reagan Rude and Alice Momany ran the Campus and Community section together. Like clockwork.
OPINION

Cold-blooded econ major joins student paper; gets sentimental

If you didn't know, The Miami Student distributes its own papers. That means one or two of us spend our Fridays lugging 2,000 copies to newsstands all around campus and Oxford. When I first became an assistant editor and found this out I thought: These journalism freaks are insane. Think about the opportunity cost! How would that be utility-maximizing?

OPINION

2,103,840 minutes in Oxford

My first thought: That number has to be wrong. My second thought: How would I know where I want to go to college yet? I was only 16 years old. And yet here I am, 22 years old, about to graduate with two degrees and 2,103,840 minutes of memories at a university two hours away from home and everything I knew.
