Maybe the Class of 2029 could take notes!

As the United States accustoms itself to the drastic changes which this new presidency has brought, the shift in environmental policies has been especially notable, with 31 deregulatory changes that will be made in the upcoming days. From reconsidering power plant emissions standards to potentially eliminating the greenhouse gas reporting requirements, these changes will have dire consequences for the environment. Universities have also been impacted by these changes — most notably, Executive Order 14008, which integrated climate change education into curricula and advised universities to embrace more sustainable practices, has been rescinded. In this increasingly concerning political climate which has de-emphasized sustainability, the University is steadfastly continuing to work toward its sustainability goals, something which is worthy of commendation.

Since the beginning of my time here at the University, I’ve consistently observed a certain predicament be a central conversation of premature relationships — the “body count.” For those unfamiliar with the phrase, according to a well-vetted source, the Urban Dictionary, a body count conventionally refers to “how many people you’ve had sex with.”
