“That which we call a rose
By any other name would still smell as sweet,” Romeo & Juliet
In Shakespeare’s famous play, Juliet’s assertion that a name is meaningless does not hold true on the Internet. When it comes to managing your identity online, your name and the information that is linked to it, can make or break [...]

It took much longer to file away my notes and handouts from first quarter than expected. I thought I would be doing this within days of first term’s end. Yet, I found myself creating binders for my old courses just two days before my new classes would begin.
It was hard to let go. I feared [...]
