The Unpopular Opinion

I have an issue with you, Middlebury College. Enough is enough; I am calling you out. Your general intolerance and lack of discussion has reached a point I can no longer abide. It’s high time somebody looked out for the little guy, the underdog, the minority. The philosophy you constantly dismiss ...

Learning the Wrong Lessons from Tragedy

It’s easy to think that the world is falling apart and closing in upon us. We hear of the threats from North Korea or bombs in downtown Boston and ask ourselves what the world has come to and how we can stop it.

(Positive) Sex Talk

I am almost 22 years old and last week at the Gensler Symposium I was shown, for the first time in my life, how to use a female condom. (And, for that matter, a male condom as well.)

Senior in Waiting

In 38 days, the senior class graduates. To say the least, it is bittersweet. As I now apply for jobs, I am often asked why I chose to attend Middlebury.

Hooking Up Sober

If you’ve ever read a Shakespearean comedy, you know that a sure fire way to get the girl is to pretend you’re someone else. In fact, if it’s Shakespeare, you’re probably pretending to be someone else who’s pretending to be someone else, and one of these alter egos is almost certainly a gender ...

Campus Character: Patrick Devereux

If Patrick Devereux ’15 had a soundtrack, it would be comprised of such princes of southern rap as Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, OJ da Juiceman and Lil Wayne. For this particular day in the life, track  no. 1 would be “Shawt Bus Shawty,” a Youtube sensation that parodies Devereux’s composers. “I ...
