The Adventure of a Lifetime
"Holding anger is a poison…It eats you from inside…We think that by hating someone we hurt them…But hatred is a curved blade…and the harm we do to others…we also do to ourselves…"
« Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven
"As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

The Opposite of Loneliness
The piece below was written by Marina Keegan ‘12 for a special edition of the News distributed at the class of 2012’s commencement exercises last week. Keegan died in a car accident on Saturday May 26th, 2012. She was 22.

I built a roof yesterday. Well, technically, I finished building a roof—I started a few days ago. It was not easy and it was frustrating at times, but seeing an idea you have created in your mind become a realization is amazing. I have no experience in carpentry or construction, so it is so much more amazing to see the final product. I’m proud of myself. It may not be perfect, but it’s mine.
Dear Braves,
THE FUCK?!
Sincerely,
Everybody
