On Love, or Lack Thereof  How to heal after your freshman year college breakup  If you’ve stumbled across this article, you’re probably listening to Olivia Rodrigo's “Deja Vu,” or if it’s really bad, Conan Gray’s “Heather.” Maybe you're feeling a mixture of emotions, hatred, sadness, loneliness, disappointment, or maybe flat out numbness. The Disney, perfect picture world you imagined has been shattered into a million pieces and now you’re wondering, what now? Or maybe your besties are shredding your ex apart, telling you you're better off without him, that you’re so much better than him, but in your mind, all you’re thinking is, “Am I?” “Why would they leave me if I was supposedly better than him?”  Trust me, I’ve been there. Freshman year my boyfriend broke up with me and I was a complete mess. One second I was dating the “love of my life” and the next thing you know, it was over. I too felt a mixture of emotions, unsure why I was feeling the way I was feeling. I felt l...

A world I dare to imagine. In 1952, a Russian linguist named Yuri Knorozov was able to crack the indecipherable Mayan glyphs, the Mayan writing system that was used by ancient Mayans for centuries. There was debate as to what the glyphs read and how one should read them. Sir John Eric Sidney Thompson, a British archaeologist and leading Mayan scholar at the time, had a staunch view on the Mayan glyphs and nobody dared to contradict his hypothesis, as he was seen as the authority in this scholarly field. Yuri, being behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, was not greatly influenced by Sir John and didn't care about his authoritative ideas, he was in search of the truth. Yuri dared to go based on his intuition and came up with his own hypothesis on how to read the Mayan glyphs, one that was correct and is still used today. Why am I saying this? I think it's great that we are becoming an ever connected world, one where trade and mutual cooperation is fostered. However, more o...

I stood there, wobbling, with scepter in hand and crown on head. Wondering, breathing, crying, what was I supposed to do? I could see them. The white king and queen, staring at me, analyzing me. Their soldiers began advancing towards me, breaking rank. How could I break rank though? Knowing that sending my soldiers forward would mean certain death for them. How could I sacrifice them, as if their lives meant nothing. I wanted all of them to live, but as I stood there, looking at them with my queen to the right and my trusted advisor to the left, I gave the order. And so they marched. Their white soldier diagonal to my black soldier. Without hesitation, the white soldier drew his sword and the once brave soldier I sent to the front on my behalf, layed on the ground, killed by his counterpart. Water droplets hugged my cheeks as they fell to the ground, hugging me, attempting to relieve me from this pain, from this guilt. I felt numb. Death. Everywhere. Young men, slaughtered as if their ...
