Maya is a fourth-year in the College studying neuroscience and English. She has been a columnist since her first year. She has covered a diverse array of things, including UChicago’s deceptive photography and the Reg’s extensive archive. She loves writing in all forms but is partial to science writing and reporting. This past summer, she worked at WebMD and Medscape covering quirky science stories and fell in love with asking scientists about their knowledge. She also works in the Environmental Neuroscience Laboratory, is a college counselor for high school students in underserved communities, and is a runner on the varsity track and field team.
We must resist the temptation to erase the negative aspects of UChicago in our memories, because confronting that toxicity is key to building a better campus for everyone.
While most first-years hope to settle into friend groups and remain in them, it’s important to continually meet new people and places for personal growth.
