The small class sizes available to English majors at the University of Rhode Island have shaped my experience because of the content of my courses and the interactions with my peers. English courses, and those of the other humanities, have given myself and other students the freedom to openly discuss both the assigned texts and…
I don’t have many complaints to make, but I am going to contradict myself right now and complain about what has been going on at the gym on campus lately. Specifically, I want to address the girls who either don’t make it to the gym, or get stuck only doing cardio. I might be silly…
