From the Drafts

Haniyyah Usmani, Digital Producer

The standard of perfection isn’t to be perfect, it’s to be impossible, and funnily enough, it doesn’t work with my goals; it works against them. Perfection has its own means, and prioritizing the unattainable means compromising my own goals.

Sometimes You Have to Listen to Be Heard

Erynn Sweeney, Assistant Culture Editor

Listening is a difficult thing to do. It is not passive but an active skill that takes a lot of practice. I think that changing the way we think about listening and the way we listen can make a big difference, not only in our conversations but also in our feelings of connection to the people around us.
