Kimia (CLAS 2017) wrote and edited at Iris before graduating from UVA and going on to receive her law degree from George Mason University.
Since my second week of undergraduate classes at the University of Virginia in 2013, I have found a companion in my planner. My beautiful, color-coordinated, perfectly designed planner.
Here’s a name you might not know: Nancy Gibbs.
If you’re anything like us, you love to read (and you love to read Iris, am I right?).
20 January, 2017.
Normal day.
21 January, 2017.
December is always the month of reflection, as we attempt to make sense of the last 12 months and, feminist or not, come to terms with that fact that we are one year older and don’t feel that much wiser. In fact, this January, we may actually feel dumber – think about it… We don’t have a female president.
You know that feeling when your heart drops, your hands start shaking, and the whole world seems to disappear as you try to read that blurry “we need to talk” text through your uncontrollable tears?
