In my first letter this semester, I challenged all of you to take it upon yourselves to make the world a better place. Im happy to say that throughout the semester I have been pleasantly surprised to see a few individuals doing some really great work around campus to make the Universe a more engaging and exciting place. That being said, I hope the rest of you are inspired to follow suit and realize your own power as an individual. I know you may think that it is a big task for one person to change the world, but in a few short weeks, whoever comes out on top in the electoral college will do just that. Im not saying you have to president to make a difference, and it’s the little things that really make a difference.
