Finding the right answer was never the point

(11/01/24 12:00pm)

Throughout my time at Duke, there have been a few conversations that I found myself repeatedly having with my peers that go along the lines of “nature vs. nurture”, “is your phone an intrinsic part of your mind” and other pretentious conversations that are like puzzles and toys to play with in a conversation. I noticed that there are two types of approaches people take towards these conversations: one, attempt to create a sound argument to answer the literal question, or two, blurt out their gut answer and explore what made them think that way, attempting to formulate an argument as they go. The first approach often involves discussions about semantics of words in the question and a lot of theoreticals — definitely intellectually stimulating. The second approach often comes with multiple tangents that uncover my peers' lores that support their gut feeling — it feels much more lax and exploratory.

The art of going solo: Fall break adventures in DC

(10/31/24 12:00pm)

I’ve been called codependent more times than I care to admit. I’m not one to walk to class, go to the library, or grab dinner by myself. If I can have a friend with me, why wouldn’t I? When I’m with someone, they occupy my mind and time. I forget everything swirling in my head — the doubts, worries, self-consciousness. When I’m alone, I’m forced to sit with my anxious mind, and that’s not always the most comfortable place to be.
