By Stephan Chamberlin | July 11, 2018Ever wonder whether you might have been happier at Harvard University? A lot of students think they settled by going to a state school.

By Layla Soboh | July 11, 2018Sometimes the events of my week seem to have a common theme. This week, the theme is receiving criticism from strangers and trying to figure out what to do about it. I’ve always been told to disregard bullying and ignore negative comments. But what if this is another one of those faulty things we were all told as millennial children? It feeds into our belief that we’re good at everything and anyone who says otherwise has the issue. Manners and politeness are virtues to be upheld, but did all the participation trophies make our skin too thin?
