I hate texting. I’m a bad texter. Like, BAD. Anyone who knows me can vouch: I’m notoriously terrible at responding to messages.

Walk through the halls of Leverett House, and you’ll notice AI generated name tags that decorate room doors. Take a stroll through Winthrop, and you’ll notice the same—and even if not clear at first glance, I’m sure this goes for many other houses too.

As a 19-year-old college student, I’d like to think I’ve finally reached that age where it’s okay for me to read books that contain erotic scenes scattered throughout.
