We are officially reaching the peak of NFL Draft season, so there’s no better time to take a look at some of my favorite potential picks in the first round.

On March 4, more than a decade after her previous novel Americanah, Hopkins alum Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie gave the people what they wanted: Dream Count.

I like the color purple. The number 22, the season of autumn and definitely cats over dogs. Everytime I try to explain what fuels my affections, I don’t have much to say: I am just drawn to them for no good reason that I can pinpoint.

I’ve been trying to find time in my day to “just breathe.” That’s what everyone tells me to do when I’m feeling sad: “just breathe.” But no one tells you how to breathe when everything feels like it’s caving in, when your brain is just static noise and your heart’s doing Olympic flips over your to-do list.
