Every single day this week, at least one of my friends either shared some hard news they’d heard with me or broke down over challenges they were facing. Each time I comforted someone, I empathized with them. I tried to feel what they were feeling because I thought that “stepping into their shoes” was a necessary part of understanding what they were going through in order for me to be of some help to them.

They say life comes full circle, but lately I have been wondering if most of us here at Princeton live our lives on a different, less holistic trajectory.

On Wednesday, Sept. 1, a new Texas abortion law went into effect. The law bans abortions at the point when a fetal cardiac activity can be detected — an event that occurs approximately five to six weeks into pregnancy. Despite the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, which established an affirmative constitutional right to the procedure, citizens across the state will now be prevented from seeking one before they may even know that they are pregnant. The enforcement of such a law, as well as its failure to be challenged thus far on a legal basis, shows the ongoing necessity of vigilant advocacy for reproductive rights, and acts as a harrowing reminder of the fragility of liberties that were so arduously won.

On Wednesday, while I sat in my second class of the academic year — a course titled Cities, Sea Level Rise and the Environmental Humanities — an emergency alert buzzed on my phone. It read, “Tornado Warning,” and outlined the steps I should take to protect myself. Don’t go outside. Stay away from windows. Await further warning.

Last month, The Daily Princetonian published an investigation regarding classics professor Joshua Katz’s alleged inappropriate conduct with three female students. Following this report, Katz acknowledged that he engaged in a relationship with a student that violated University rules, resulting in a yearlong, unpaid suspension.

In the summer of 2020, a number of schools made the move to strike their SAT or ACT requirement for the incoming class of 2025. And today, Harvard joined Cornell, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania as the fourth Ivy League school to waive testing requirements for the Class of 2026. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic saw hundreds of schools go “test-optional” in a bid to lighten the load on prospective college students as they grappled with the new challenges of virtual learning, including the closing of schools and growing infeasibility of test-taking in a group format due to health concerns. It was a necessary gesture of understanding and leniency during unforeseen and incredibly challenging circumstances.

Today is my ninth day quarantining in a hotel. I’ve been here before — two months ago, to be exact. This is my second hotel quarantine this year; the first took place after I traveled internationally to stay with a friend before the semester began. But while that quarantine was planned, this one was spontaneous. As life would have it, once again I have found myself in an unfamiliar place, quarantining alone.

The 2020–2021 season marks the 50th anniversary of women’s sports at Princeton University. The relative newness of the women’s athletic program is a rather striking and timely reminder that women’s collegiate sports are still in their infancy. The fact that such a momentous milestone has landed this year — a year in which it is not clear whether sports at all— demonstrates the fragility of our athletic system, especially the women’s program.

The other day, I overheard my friend reveal to a family member that her friend had tested positive for coronavirus.

Back in mid-March, when I arrived back in Australia, I hadn’t spent longer than two months at home for the last two years. When I left for America in the fall of 2018 to begin my freshman year at Princeton, I left my entire life behind with it — my friends from high school, the club team where I used to train, the part-time jobs I had tutoring local kids or lifeguarding at my school’s 25m indoor pool.

Two months ago, an Undergraduate Student Government survey revealed that “Most students advocated strongly for an on-campus semester, even if being on campus would require substantial social distancing restrictions; students indicated that they would be willing to follow social distancing regulations outlined by the University in order to return to campus.”
