Shouldn’t Bloggers be Anti-Social…?
Hey everyone, this is Sarah, and welcome to my blog! Blogging seems kind of hypocritical to me, especially in this case.

Let me put this bluntly: if you have the idea in your head that WPI is a place where students focus all of their time on science, math, and engineering and don’t have time or talent for anything else—arts, music, theatre, athletics, community service—you are wrong. Last night I attended a production of the musical [...]

“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings…” Over the summer, I had the opportunity to experience once of the greatest activities known to man – the freedom of flight.
