Last week, my parents and I planned to spend an evening attending a town hall by U.S. House Representative Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., to hear his opinions on the various issues prevailing in Washington right now. We first noticed something was amiss when he began the meeting by reading off a list of authoritarian rules that left absolutely no room for dissent or discord. Given the contentious nature of Congress nowadays, this seemed like an unnecessary overreaction, as Sensenbrenner should be accustomed to disagreement and argumentation on Capitol Hill.

After a 217-213 vote today, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the American Health Care Act. While it has not been signed into official law yet—it still needs to be approved by the Senate—the GOP-approved health care plan has overcome a major hurdle on its way to becoming law.

The two-dozen pieces I’ve written for this opinion page in the past 19 months have been some of my proudest accomplishments since I came to UW-Madison. I’ve been able to use this platform to share my voice, whether it was about politics, sports, school policies or memes (that was a weird one). I’ve spent more time banging my head on my keyboard, trying to bludgeon words out of my head and onto my Word document, than I can count. I have also typed out more dashes—fear not, they’re liberally used throughout this farewell piece—than I can count. Some articles have been eloquent and well-thought out; others weren’t exactly worth reading aloud at the dinner table.

Self-care is about identifying one’s own needs and taking necessary steps to meet them. Self-care is something that is necessary for every thriving adult to practice in order to maintain a healthy mental and physical well-being. It is something that serves as a constant in our lives that we’re able to fall back on when stressful times start to take a toll on our minds and bodies.

Some campus-area bars don’t like black people or black music.

Earlier this year, I took a genetic test to find out more about my ancestry and physical conditions. I have learned more than I expected as I discovered, surprisingly, that I was lactose-intolerant, but more ethnically diverse than I assumed. I also learned about how likely I am to develop certain health conditions. It was amazing for me to realize what a simple sample could tell me about myself.

Nowadays, one of the requirements for finding a job, especially out of college, seems to be maintaining a social media presence and paying attention to how you present yourself on social media. I know many people who have separate Facebook accounts: one with their real name that potential employers can easily look up, where they make sure they are maintaining an appropriate, professional profile, and another account where they use a nickname and are more open for their own personal enjoyment. LinkedIn has also become increasingly popular, seemingly out of nowhere, and has become another platform college students feel obligated to join. But not everyone has all these forms of social media, and that should not put them at a disadvantage when applying for jobs. Maintaining an active social media profile should not be an employer’s main concern when looking for job candidates. The way a person presents themselves in person and the relevant past experience they can demonstrate on a resume is, in my opinion, far more important.

The Wisconsin Idea is a phrase that is tossed around quite often at our university. I remember hearing it described at SOAR but not really understanding what it meant. According to our school website, the broad premise of the Wisconsin Idea is that “education should influence people’s lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom” and, more broadly, that it reflects the “university’s commitment to public service.”

Presenting findings at a research conference is a dream for many students and faculty here at UW-Madison. However, for researchers such as Tom Bryan, that moment of pride for your hard work might be overshadowed by the recent drop in research rankings at your institution.

The Wisconsin Idea portrays the UW System as a guiding light, a beacon that shares its knowledge with all corners of the earth. We’ve been taught to stress the importance of this idea to show that the work done here in Madison changes the world. This is, in many ways, true: The things we do as a university, whether through research or other means, do make a palpable impact on the state of Wisconsin, and the planet as a whole.

Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment is a student advocacy group on the UW-Madison campus dedicated to ending sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking through education and activism.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, or SAAM. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) has a goal during the month “to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities on how to prevent it” and they recognize that this is only possible with help from others. As a part of the group PAVE, it is our hope to get students on our campus to know what sexual assault is.

Sometimes, facts defy our optimistic expectations. Something that did just that for me was learning about the alarming maternal mortality rates in some developed nations with advanced medical technology, even in the United States. I had presumed that maternal and infant mortalities only really occurred in developing nations where resources are lacking, but it still remains a very crucial problem in the U.S.

April 3, 2017 marked the day of the biggest chemical weapon attack against civilians in Syria since the Ghouta Massacre in 2013.

I grew up with a family member with special needs and from a young age I was taught that the word “retarded” was never OK to say.

Dear Governor Walker and State Legislators,
