When I tell someone that I’m a pre-med student, their general response is one of sympathy. Looking at Princeton’s pre-med classes, it’s not hard to see why. For many first-years, acclimating to Princeton’s rigorous environment while taking classes such as CHM201: General Chemistry I, CHM202: General Chemistry II, and MOL214: Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology, is incredibly difficult for one simple reason: these classes are weed-out classes.

“Specifically, while Princetonians are taught to be critical and should have opinions about many topics, the Opinion pieces of the ‘Prince’ can be quite negative in tone and can seem to have just one focus: complaints about the University,” wrote Jorge Aguilar ’06, former writer for The Daily Princetonian, in a letter to the editor.

We’d like to tell you more about the class, but we cannot because the University has declined to release any statistics about accepted students – both during the Regular Decision round or during the Early Action process.

As an Apple News notification popped up on my phone last week that the Senate passed a bipartisan bill to make daylight savings permanent, I immediately chuckled. While this is without a doubt a serious piece of legislation that will impact Americans’ lives, my amusement was more directed towards the use of the word “bipartisan,” its role in making this newsworthy information, and the headline in the context of a tense news cycle. Reflecting upon what I found off-putting about this article helped illuminate for me ways in which we can promote respectful and informative journalism, which helps the public become educated about world events while remaining sensitive about the catastrophic nature of many newsworthy stories.
What can you do in one hour? A few things come to my mind: I could practice my viola for the length of time high-school-me found appropriate, I could successfully dry my clothes in an unappealing First College basement, or I could make a 20-page dent in my weekly reading schedule. Nothing too important — an hour is not a lot of time.

Non-Natives ‘celebrating’ with a ‘lūʻau,’ wearing tacky aloha clothing, or giving out plastic leis reminiscent of the hapa-haole hula era is nothing unheard of. Hawaiʻi has always been seen as a place for tourists to frequent and act as spectators to obscure representations of Native Hawaiian culture on display.
It’s concentration declaration season for AB sophomores and BSE freshmen and the same old questions are bubbling to the surface: Do I really have what it takes to become a math major? Should I pursue classics or comparative literature? Then there’s the most familiar question: Should I choose the more “practical” major that may land me a stable career or the niche major whose classes truly excite me? Should I follow my head or my heart?
