While it may seem like a resumption of normalcy after last semester’s uproar over the Rolling Stone report on sexual assault and the “Black Lives Matter” protests, the Living Wage Campaign ignited our eerily silent, snowy and slippery grounds with shouts of dissent last week.

The humanities gave me my life. It’s not that I didn’t have a life previously, but that I can describe my life pre-humanities in the same way one might describe one’s life before college. The classic: “I used to be really good at…” whatever exceptional or prepubescent talents that got you into college and have since waned. Before the humanities, I used to be really good at separating every sphere of my life: school, work, relaxation and entertainment. Now everything has blurred together because of the new ideas percolating and infiltrating everyday experience. There is no on/off switch for the humanities because it trains a type of thinking, and there is no way to stop thinking.
