Gay Marriage Debate Panel
Very interesting debate that was well catered. I found my professor Tom Bonnet as a panelist and it was a surprise. The pro gay marriage side appeared to me as much more logical arguments. One of the anti gay marriage … Continue reading
History Club – 3 meetings
This is one of my favorite clubs because the students are intellectually curious and knowledgeable. It is a small club, but it was fascinating hearing a professor speak on the recent nyc elections. There’s always a good discussion going on … Continue reading

My favorite difference between college and high school is the teacher-professor difference. I’m happy that professors leave you alone most of the time. It seemed like half the teachers in high school were neurotic in some way, and I’m glad … Continue reading
