When I walked into my thesis advisor’s office with nothing new to show him but my blue hair, I took a moment to reflect. Was I contemplating fulfilling the minimum requirements to graduate with an American Studies degree? No.Responsibly, I reflected on the role of dyed hair at Georgetown. I’ve never cared much about fashion. Of course, I want to look good (and do, most days, in my rough-around-the-edges, 10 minutes late to class with a giant iced coffee sort of way).

Dear readers… As we approach graduation, I’ve been reflecting on my time in the Voice. I’ve taken the creaky, smelly Leavey elevator for four years now, and every time I ride with one of my peers at The Hoya, I avert my gaze, trying not to blush. I stay stoic, trying my hardest to seem uninterested in their every move, and story they publish.

Brandon Finnigan watched the 2004 election from his college dorm room. He was unhappy that results came in slowly and viewers only had access to one source for election data. “I thought, ‘Maybe there is an alternative way for election information and data to be available in the United States,’” Finnigan said. To those ends, Finnigan founded Decision Desk in 2012. The service collects data and results on elections from the presidential race down to local school boards in all 50 states.

Last semester, I saw keffiyehs all around campus, not just worn by Arab and Muslim students, but by students of all communities.

D.C. already has among the highest rates of youth involvement in the juvenile justice system in the country. Since April, youth justice advocates have been sounding alarms that a newly-introduced bill will only make this worse.
