There are few stranger feelings than being underwhelmed by a lifelong dream.
My life at Duke, in many ways, didn’t start until I walked into The Chronicle’s office.

Since I started writing for The Chronicle my sophomore year, one of my friends has insisted I write a column about columns. The closest I’ve gotten is an OP-Ed about the QuadEx arches, but with my final piece for The Chron now here, I figured it was time to finally write my column column.

With Duke baseball in the midst of its ACC slate, past Blue Devils are hard at work in the professional ranks. The Blue Zone examines some previous Duke stars playing at the highest levels of the pro game:
It was a day of many firsts for the Blue Devils. New head coach Manny Diaz’s first time in front of Duke football fans in Wallace Wade Stadium. Transfer quarterback Maalik Murphy’s first appearance.
