Love U: An open letter to a former Valentine


By

From break ups to make ups and everything in between, “Love U” captures the nuances of college students’ relationships. “Love U” runs in DeeTs on Mondays.   Dear former valentine, It’s been two years since you’ve been my valentine. Now what you are to me is something between a distant friend and a memory. Over […]

Life Is Short

I am almost positive that every college student in his or her life has done one of the following: Strategically waited to answer a text message: Putting the phone away when the text was received at 12:51 p.m. and promising you won’t answer until 12:56 p.m. and 33 seconds because that’s the perfect amount of […]

College is about learning, about knowing things. Yet, in my last semester of college I’ve been spitting out the phrase “I don’t know” like a broken record. “Are you going back to the East Coast after graduation, or are you staying in L.A.?” “I don’t know.” “What are you doing after graduation anyway?” “I don’t […]

“I have a friend who keeps wanting to hang out. He’s really awesome, but I fear he likes me more than platonically. How do I non-awkwardly, non-confrontationally, non-friendship-destroyingly relay the message that I am uninterested in a more-than-friends relationship but still really would like to be homies?!?!” Making yourself a little less available is a […]

My experience with loss this year


By
 in ,
Last year, I was the leader of two clubs, Inklings and the Teen Awareness Group. Last year, I also fully grew into who I am now and who I will remain for the rest of my life — a person I am very proud to be. There were three people in these organizations who helped […]
