Starting this blog...

For all our lives, we've defined ourselves by school. Our majors speak to our passions, our exams to our successes and our failures, our participation in clubs and extracurriculars to the vibrancy of our social lives. Ultimately, our awareness of self and our sense of self worth are linked to our academic performance. What I've been thinking about lately is, what will it be like when school ends? Who will I be, and how will I define myself?

This blog is about helping me and other seniors discover what else defines us before we enter the real world. Whether you've got a plan or are like me and had a last-minute change of heart, I hope you use this as a forum to share experiences, give suggestions, express concerns, and most of all, celebrate the exciting future we have ahead of us!

PLEASE read this article, Columbia Students especially

This is absolutely a must-read article. Astute, sensitive and inspiring, I commend Wilfred Chan and Sarah Ngu for writing something so sincere. It's about time we open up this kind of dialogue at Columbia.

"There is simply no sense in continuing a Columbia culture that condones misery as a harmless fact of life. Though we can never get rid of stress, we can change the way we think about it." ~ Chan
