If you’ve ever been in Proctor Lounge, you’ve probably seen Rhiya Trivedi ’12. “I spend a disgusting amount of time here,” Trivedi said. “People call it my office.” If you can’t find her in Proctor, you could probably find her coordinating youth organizations in her native Canada, ...

Daniel Pulido ’11 is from Bogota, Columbia. It feels strange to say that in Middlebury College the war on drugs has been lost.

There is the fantasy where your loving partner sweeps you off your feet to your favorite restaurant, where you eat by candlelight, whisper sweet nothings and later return to a flower-strewn room where you make sweet, sweet love on the bed you share together. ...
One thing that always comes into clarity when I am home for Thanksgiving is that vivid line between being a child and being an adult. This distinction is always reinforced due to the fact that, in my family, one is only allowed to graduate from the “kids” table upon marriage, so it becomes a strange ...
