Halfway into finals week of last semester, the time of the semester where most Oxy students live in the library and lose motivation, I was lucky enough to get a little beacon of hope to keep going.
On Wednesday, February 1, 2017 (the first day of Black History Month), Rev. Dr. William Barber II came to Occidental's campus to share a message titled "Revival, Resiliency, and Redemption After Rejection," and I had the privilege of introducing him.
As the clock showed 1:25 a.m. on Wednesday morning (two days into my second semester of sophomore year), I could not help but feel a wave of anxiety.
Every year, winter break serves as an excellent reminder of why I love being at Oxy.
