The Willard Preacher as Jar Jar Binks
“Meesa say you will go to Hell.”

James Franklin and Mace Windu

An Open Letter To My Sedated Self: Anthony Colucci’s Senior Column

“No challenge you encounter in college will come close to the obstacles you overcame to get there. However, that drive to do things your own way and disregard for what’s seen as ‘normal’ or ‘expected’ will carry on.”
