Unqualified and Unsolicited Advice

At a school as small as ours, you may feel like an insider before you even arrive. How large can a campus of 2,500 really be?

What a liberal arts education has given me

Photo provided by Georgie Riggs Trinity hasn’t prepared me for a lot of things. Like what’s a mortgage? Am I supposed to know that by now? I hope not. And what’s the best recipe for chocolate cake?

Photo credit: Corrin Mccullough

illustration by Corrin McCullough Over the winter break, I made an unforgivably contemptible choice: I decided to start watching all 24 seasons of “America’s Next Top Model.”It might seem like an odd choice to spend what precious little free time I have as a college student voluntarily watching Tyra Banks psychologically bulldoze group after group of young women and men...
