They worried that our school would be next.
This is not a rational article, and processing social rejection often lacks rhyme or reason.
No one at Duke should be made to feel less like a woman because of their menstrual capabilities—not me, not a roommate, not a teacher, not a peer.
The thing about being constantly forced to confront your lack of a permanent residence is that you’re also forced to reconcile with the fact that you’re not as important to the trajectory of others as you might think. Life goes on regardless of if you’re there or not.
Understanding the far reach of accommodating and accounting for 1740 first-year students begged the question of where Duke would fall short.
It seems as though Duke is not made for anyone who is even slightly less than able-bodied.
If the relationship between a university and its students is purely economic, then I’m becoming increasingly unsure of what I or Duke bring to the table. Are we both as valuable as we’re portraying ourselves to be?
I've come face to face with society's critical treatment of women masturbating, a memory that reemerges each time I search up vibrators on Amazon.
Currently, The Chronicle does not convey any of its articles, regardless of their genre, in plain language. However, I’m advocating that this should change and that plain language versions should be provided for major news stories.
I’ve come to see that the moments where we feel most inclined to sacrifice our wellbeing, with finals week and assignment-heavy days coming to mind, are the moments where we need to stop and take the time to connect with ourselves.
