The Knoll is a place to slow down. At Middlebury, life is constantly moving a hundred miles an hour. For many students, it is a place to breathe and step back. As Knoll interns, we have a lot of love for the space, and as such, it makes us incredibly sad to learn of the vandalism at the end of March. We understand that people make mistakes and get careless, but we do implore the community to respect all our shared spaces, including but not limited to the Knoll.

We encourage Midd kids to break down the walls of silence by engaging in sex-positive conversation — wherever, with whomever, and about whatever is most comfortable, easy and safe for you. Our editions will be fun and educational!

In a mere 98 minutes, “Problemista” captured my heart.

The event was situated in the context of the recent bill, H.R. 7521, which aims to either ban TikTok or force divestiture by ByteDance to enable American ownership. In an unusual display of Congressional bipartisanship, H.R. 7521 has already passed the House by a vote of 325–65.

As an English major, people often make small talk with me by asking about my favorite books. I vastly prefer this question to the alternative question about my degree: “So, what are you going to do with that?” Like most English majors, I read a lot, both for school and for pleasure. After I finish a semester, my reward is a trip to the bookstore where I can indulge in the books that I held off reading due to my coursework. To be clear, this is not a list of my favorite books. That list is unstable, shifting depending on the hour, the mood or the person asking. Instead, this is a list of books tailored to graduating seniors (though anyone could find some pleasure in them) — books that I hope will offer a balm or a new perspective as we prepare for the next phase of our lives.
