Have you ever played that game with friends where you try to guess what you would be doing during historical time periods? Maybe you’re not quite dorky enough to find this as amusing as I do, but I play all the time.

College is when your mind gets blown. Right?

Freedom of speech cannot be a value this university only endorses for the wealthy. It is a value that we staunchly defend when it comes to students and faculty professors. And it needs to be a value we staunchly defend when it comes to adjunct professors, staffers and subcontracted employees.

So you’re in another country. And you will be living and going to school there for the immediately foreseeable future. You’ve got a different cell phone plan, foreign money in your pocket and no friends yet.

Before I tell you this story, there are two things you need to know about me. First, I’m a pretty friendly person. I like to talk to people, I like to hear their stories. Second, I talk fast. Really fast.

“It’s funny,” my friend Claire remarks at Lyshøjskolen, the Danish elementary school in Kolding, Denmark we are visiting with our class. “This project is about Americans and all of the Americans are freaking out about it.”

I’m going to admit something to all of you that I probably shouldn’t admit in print. Especially in print that will be read in Washington, D.C. Someone might come take my WONK buttons away.

Mark Twain once wrote that you should “never let your schooling get in the way of your education.” In other words, make sure that whatever you are doing in school doesn’t stop you from doing things that will help you grow intellectually.

AU is one of the most politically active campuses in the county, so I’m going to try to put the problem I have with AU offering to keep the Metro open late for Nats fans in political terms.

Last April, I wrote a column about why AU needs to divest and why students should support that measure. This weekend, nearly 150 AU students went to the People’s Climate March in New York, but when it comes to climate change, supporting these big actions isn’t enough.

“Don’t worry guys!” the biology professor at the front of the lecture hall tells us, “it’s not that bad of math, you can do it!” She’s writing on the whiteboard, p2 2pq q2 = 1, the Hardy-Weinberg equation, designed for figuring out allele frequency in a population. I’m sitting there thinking, “Of course it’s not that bad of math! It’s basic algebra, something I quite literally learned when I was 12 years old.”

AU faces some thorny problems, I’m the first to admit it. Some problems, such as rising tuition prices and falling degree value are faced by every school in the country, while others, such as the scourge of D.C. unpaid internships and the inevitable choice of unreasonable rent or unreasonable commute for students, are more unique to AU.

As we sat in Bender Arena my freshman year, author Seamus McGraw was trying to break the ice. He stood onstage reading tweets from AU students with his name. His favorite? “@SeamusMcGraw is a douchebag.”

Fraternities have existed almost as long as the residential college experience has. In 1825, a group of young men decided the best way to rebel against their administration was through the formation of a secret club—the Kappa Alpha Society. College life used to be quite different from what we experience now. As Caitlin Flanagan explains in an article from The Atlantic, the idea that “pursuing a bachelor’s degree might be something other than a deeply ascetic and generally miserable experience was once preposterous.”

They happen only once a semester at the very end. No, I’m not talking about finals. I’m talking about professor evaluations.

1. It’s not tobacco-free
The Berkshire Apartments are not smoke-free or really anything-free. There is plenty of room for all sorts of “recreational activities” that RAs hate.

College is more competitive than our parents remember. Students compete to get into top tier schools while universities themselves compete to attract the best students and faculty.

For most AU students, their college career started with the big envelope and little envelope dilemma. High school seniors know a big envelope means “Congratulations!” but a little envelope has only one sheet of paper that starts with, “We regret to inform you that we cannot offer you admission at this time.”
