Student Blog: Broadway According to Kurt Vonnegut
by Student Blogger: Sydney Emerson - September 24, 2021
Vonnegut proposed that every story ever told followed a graphable shape. The stories are graphed on two axes: the vertical “good fortune-ill fortune” axis and the horizontal “beginning-end” axis. Perhaps stories aren’t as unique as we think they are—and perhaps that isn’t a bad thing.

Student Blog: The Problem of Recent History
by Student Blogger: Sydney Emerson - September 10, 2021

Student Blog: Stage to 5K
by Student Blogger: Sydney Emerson - August 11, 2021

It's about seeing the world differently. I'm not a runner. I've never claimed to be one-I'm anything but fast, I have chronic knee problems, and the prospect of doing anything remotely athletic makes me want to cower in fear. And yet, in March of 2020, I found myself lacing up my sneakers every morning and heading out onto the trail.
