College - not Yale - pride

Apr 28, 2024 | yaledailynews.com | Anna Calkins

Jessai Flores The other day, I was walking to the library in my favorite sweatshirt. It was dark out and a bit brisk, but I felt perfectly warm. The soft inner lining of the sweatshirt made it comfortable, cozy even, and I felt cocooned in its cloth comfort. I was at once classy, chic and casual. You might now be wondering about the story behind this sweatshirt. You might be asking yourself where you can get one for yourself.
The theory of Anna 2.0

Feb 23, 2024 | yaledailynews.com | Anna Calkins

Sophia Zhao I think about the alternate ways my life could’ve ended up all the time. It’s a lot to think about — every decision, big or small, has changed my life in some way. Who even knows what could have happened if I had made different choices. I’ve always been told by my father that a life with no regrets is not possible — that a life well lived is in part constituted by some degree of regret.
Mean Girls Has Turned Me Mean

Feb 17, 2024 | yaledailynews.com | Anna Calkins

Mean Girls is a classic film. It’s up there with Grease, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Clueless as high-school coming of age movies everyone must watch. These movies, with their slightly-grainy film look and iconic outfits, are beloved by many, but also accepted as problematic. They’re also in the sweet spot where they’re old enough to be classics but not old enough to have become outdated. Or at least, I thought that was the case.
Anyway, Love

Feb 9, 2024 | yaledailynews.com | Anna Calkins

I’m not known as someone who tries — and let alone succeeds — to be mysterious or nonchalant. I think that if I tried to “play it cool,” my friends would think I had recently suffered some serious trauma. There is nothing secretive about me. I share with reckless abandon. The password to my phone is practically public knowledge — it’s 0000 — and I have never delayed a response to someone’s text in order to give the appearance of not caring.
QRSThanksgiving

Nov 30, 2023 | yaledailynews.com | Anna Calkins

Zahra Virani My family has no shortage of zany traditions for just about every holiday. Our oddness piques around the Thanksgiving table. Usually, we spend thanksgiving in Chicago. One year, we spent Thanksgiving in California visiting my grandfather, where we substituted turkey for fresh fish and football for swimming. No one liked this very much, and a nasty sunburn really killed my mood. The palm trees and spray tans killed the vibe.
Boombox Couture’s Wireless Express Mini Boombox with LED Speakers

Nov 3, 2023 | yaledailynews.com | Anna Calkins

This past summer, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I might need to bring for my first year of college. I watched YouTube videos, read articles and made multiple packing lists. I couldn’t really fathom how I was ever going to be able to pack everything I needed to bring into the trunk of the car. Ultimately, I did alright, but of course wound up forgetting some important items, including my Crocs.

More Pressure than a Submarine: the Making of Our Hero

Oct 13, 2023 | yaledailynews.com | Anna Calkins

Melany Perez A bead of sweat rolls down your forehead, cold against your hot skin. Your breathing is labored, your heart pounds: you think for a second that it might pound out of your chest. You don’t care enough to rest. Rest is for the weak. Your muscles burn, pushed to their limit. Beyond their limit, even. You know no limits, not when you’re on the field. You remember your middle school swim coach telling you “pain is your muscles celebrating.” He was right.
