Recently, I had a package to mail, so I went down to the UPS store on Mass Ave in Cambridge. (There’s more to this story, so bear with me for a moment.) On the way...
Probably my favorite thing to eat at Brandeis is Einstein’s Santa Fe Egg White Sandwich. Last year, I ate one almost every day for lunch. Sometimes, if I was in the SCC for a club...
How do I work on setting sexual boundaries with my partner? They always want to do anal but I don’t want to. Thank you for writing to SSIS! The sexual boundaries that you want to...
When I was in first grade, before I could spell, I drew a whole menagerie of birds and labeled them “brids.” About 15 or so years later, while I can spell B-I-R-D-S, I haven’t been...
This will probably be short, as I have no idea how to write a senior op (is there a right or wrong way?), but it may end up being long, as I’m sure more thoughts...
As I now sit here with only one day of classes left, I can’t help but marvel at how my college journey unfolded in ways I never expected. It’s been a wild ride, one that...

I was supposed to finish this article in 2022 along with everybody else in the Hoot E-board at the time, but I’m glad I didn’t until now. My undergrad years were like a dull, unfinished...
