It was my slightly Americanized accent. After seven months in New Jersey, my voice had changed. My English friends could hear it and thought it was hilarious. I had no idea. And I was a little worried. I didn’t want to change.
Thankfully, our campus doesn’t contain or produce many individuals who feel entitled to criticize strangers’ outfits. Such criticism is generally recognized as antisocial behavior. On the other hand, students don’t always have the same sensitivity when it comes to their friends’ clothes.
I write to solicit nominations for the Pyne Prize, the highest general distinction the University confers upon an undergraduate, which will be awarded on Alumni Day, Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013.
A five-hour flight can be unbearably long, especially with overly reclined backseats and a honeymooning couple that was determined to transform a fairly grimy experience into romantic wayfaring.
A week ago, Hurricane Sandy barreled through the East Coast, leaving a wide path of destruction behind. The damage caused by Sandy continues with many homes still without power and infrastructure across the Northeast in disarray. Thankfully, the University was largely unharmed by the storm. Students staying on campus over the break were hardly inconvenienced, as several key facilities either remained open or reopened quickly. In recognition of the relative good fortune of the University, Princeton staff and students organized relief efforts. However, these volunteering events lacked proper direction. While we recognize the administration for its timely and effective response to Hurricane Sandy, we also believe the relief efforts could have been organized more thoughtfully and effectively.
There is a severe lack of original content when it comes to what I see being posted by my compatriots on social media. And after seeing the same old thing 15 or so times about Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I’m completely apathetic.
Princeton is undoubtedly a cornucopia of high-achieving and impressive students. Some pursue certificates, others do not. Those that do not are no less impressive than those that do. I got caught up in a fabricated image of an academic hierarchy, a much too easy trap in which to fall as the year gets under way.
In writing this article I find myself in a unique position. It is due in to my editor before the election, will be edited during and published afterward.
Hooking up is not for everyone. But for those of us who enjoy hookups as much as coffee dates, walks by Carnegie Lake and “Facebook official” relationships, it is perfectly possible to do it all successfully — but it requires honesty, thoughtfulness and communication about our romantic preferences.
When someone is dating or having sex with a person, they are doing so with that person, not with that person’s entire gender.
Mr. President-elect, our problems are substantial, and the ideas you have put forth — along with those of your opponent — are far too small.
Gov. Mitt Romney speaks frequently of the contrast between his own governing philosophy and President Obama’s “trickle down government” worldview. What does he mean by this phrase?
The Prince's new commenting policy; misunderstanding the residential colleges.
After months of a seemingly never-ending election season, it is finally time to choose our next president. We’ve cringed at the gaffes, read the op-eds and watched the debates. Now we get to reap the reward: casting our ballot for either Gov. Mitt Romney or President Barack Obama. For many young Americans, the decision to reelect President Obama is an easy one because, contrary to Republican claims, the president has come through on his 2008 promise of change.
This is a thank you to the University staff who worked tirelessly during and after the storm to keep those of us on campus safe.
