This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke (University of California, Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale University and University of California, Santa Barbara) and John M. Martinis (University of California, Santa Barbara) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.” Coincidentally, 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology commemorating 100 years since modern quantum mechanics’ initial development.

I firmly believe that all you really have to do to get to know someone is to look through their bag (with consent, of course). The contents of a college student’s backpack tend to be fairly uniform: a water bottle, lunch (maybe), pens, pencils, an iPad — but the weight of those objects is not immediately visible to an outside observer.

I wrote a poem once titled “The Modern Prometheus,” one that had to do with Victor Frankenstein and the curse of ambition. I don’t mean for it to be as dramatic as it sounds — even though I tend to play into the tortured genius angle too much sometimes. Victor and I share a bad habit: we can’t stop creating things that destroy our sleep schedules. While Victor made a monster, I make Word documents. His creation terrorized villages; mine terrorizes Google Docs with track changes and coffee stains.

I have a horrible habit of really only ever writing about writing. Every Voices piece that I write somehow incorporates some part of my love for literature, and my characteristic diction bleeds into every aspect of my life.

I have never experienced unadulterated joy like my first listen to Sam “King of Soul” Cooke’s 1963 epic, his album Live at the Harlem Square Club. Hidden beneath a steadily strumming upright bassline and lightly up-tempo drum swing, Cooke’s masterful crowd work combines with a raucous, enraptured audience to create one of the most magical 36-minute sets I’ve ever heard. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to roll your windows down on a quiet summer night, the type of songs that find a way to penetrate a bad mood with a specific kind of impossible-to-ignore, jumping-up-and-down passion.

The other day, in a desperate attempt to procrastinate on my dreadfully boring report on the microstructure and nanostructure of 304L grade stainless steel (sorry, Dr. Gracias), I navigated away from the dozens of review papers on my screen and into the promised land of BuzzFeed quizzes. After a few minutes of mindlessly scrolling, a few holy pixels found their way to my eyes: a quiz promising to tell me what kind of a potato I was. I froze. Was I Yukon Gold? Fingerling? Bintje? I simply had to find out.

Someone once asked me if I would rather live in a city, coastal town, mountain range, countryside or cabin in the woods. My answer to that question is this: all of them, at once, simultaneously… somehow.

Welcome! Sorry the elevator took so long — it tends to do that. You can take your shoes off by the door.

Staying on campus for fall break? As the weather starts to cool, it’s a great weekend to explore what Baltimore has to offer. Comic-Con takes over the Convention Center, runners fill the streets for the city’s annual marathon and things heat up at Spicy Con in Timonium. You can also spend the afternoon at a lecture on Black fashion history or end the weekend with a night of theater as Art makes its debut at Everyman.

In 2026, I’m going to stop believing I owe anyone anything beyond my own peace. I want to stop doing things out of obligation or guilt and start making space for what truly aligns with my energy. I’m learning that happiness isn’t something others can give you — it’s something you create for yourself. As Buddha said, “You are responsible for your own happiness. If you expect others to make you happy, you will always be disappointed.” Life will always have struggles, but I want to start viewing even challenges as reminders of the light that still exists. By letting go of expectations of others and focusing on my own growth, I’ll make room for joy that feels genuine and self-made.

Fall always feels like a pause I didn’t know I needed. The air shifts from the sticky ends of August to something sharper and quieter. It feels like a change that pulls me back to focus on myself and escape the chaos. Between long study nights, half-finished conversations and the constant rush to keep up, I forget what it feels like to just be.

A tornado spins around me. The world moves fast, chaotic, unpredictable, loud, and I’m somewhere at the bottom of it, trying to hold still.

The morning I lost my voice, I thought it would be a minor inconvenience — a sore throat, maybe a quiet day or two. Nothing I hadn’t survived before. I had forgotten that I was in college now, where when I’m sick, I can’t rely on the comforts and silence of my home. Speaking, something that had always felt like such an effortless task, was more imperative than ever, so I guess it took losing it to understand its value.

I used to think closeness was a grade I had to earn. If I were easy, uncomplaining, funny on demand and bent to their interests, then friends would keep me. On bad days, I'd check notifications as if they were emergencies. On good days I told myself I didn’t need anyone at all. Between those two postures, constantly anxious or apathetic, was a yearning: I wanted to feel safe with people, and I wanted to feel safe with myself.
