Looking back at my time in high school, one student in a sea of over 2,000, I can say with confidence that it was nothing like college. The whole point of high school, I argue, is to teach young people how to follow rules and schedules which are handed to them. An itinerary they have […]

“America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!” Since the dawn of time, migration has been a part of humanity; we conquer, discover or quite simply survive.

This past year in major professional sports championships consisted of historic comebacks, drought-ending miracles and closely contested games.

During the autumn semester of 2016, I studied abroad in Granada, Spain for three and a half months. It was such a pleasant and wonderful experience that I do not regret the difficult process I had to go through to ensure a successful journey. I had already visited Barcelona and Madrid prior to this, but […]
This past month I have completed finals, completed midterms, caught a 3-week flu and moved back to America. Somehow despite all this I am still here, alive and kicking, at Wheaton. That’s right folks, I’m back in the good ol’ USA, home to Trump-Daitoryo as they would say back at my old university. Last semester […]
It’s time for baseball to make some dramatic rule changes. Attention spans have shortened during the internet age, and the game is rapidly losing younger fans to “more exciting sports” like football and basketball.
