The Boston Marathon would have run just as smoothly without the overly strict regulations implemented this year
Mental health issues also affect college students who are comfortable with who they are, who cope well with stress and who manage the new social and intellectual challenges of campus life.
The most worthy part of ADAPT’s mission, in my eyes, is one of social norms. We have the ability to present our peers with data and show them how the majority of the people around them are behaving.
Part of what PHEs do is spread awareness and understanding to the student body — we are trying to start a dialogue, one that can help students feel empowered to make their own health decisions.
Universities should engage with those who hold bigoted or offensive views, rather than protect students from them

The single sanction should be repealed. It is the principal reason for the Honor system’s most pressing problems — namely, staggeringly low reporting rates, wildly inconsistent verdicts and widespread distrust of the system from faculty.
Compared to liberal predecessors such as LBJ, Obama has had an unsuccessful presidency
For a group which is so isolated and extreme, the greatest victory is supposed martyrdom and the notion that we somehow care about what they do, and we gave them that victory.
The fact that I am still alive and able to write this is undeniable proof that the Google Diagnosis Method works.
