Feminism Means Freedom, Not Criticism
We sometimes treat “feminism” as a taboo word, especially in today’s political environment. Although the term has historically referred to equal rights for all sexes, today, some often weaponize the term against women, accusing them of being “too woke” or “too conservative.”

We Must Stop Appearing Nonchalant
Today, “nonchalant” is used to describe a person’s outwardly indifferent reaction to a wide variety of things. “Nonchalant” is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as follows: “feeling or appearing casually calm and relaxed; not displaying anxiety, interest, or enthusiasm.” The word’s rampant usage, especially among adolescents, reflects a similar prevalence of the behavior it details. Indeed, at Milton, I’ve noticed that students refrain from exhibiting “chalant” behaviors—“anxiety, interest, and enthusiasm”—in their academics, relationships, and athletics. Though masked under a social media trend, nonchalant behavior, I’d argue, does not serve us in any of these three domains.
