There is one scene in “The Great Gatsby” that has stayed with me throughout my college experience. Nick, the book’s Midwestern narrator, attends a party at Jay Gatsby’s house, and finds an owl-eyed man murmuring in Gatsby’s library, amazed that all of the books are real. Gatsby wants his guests, members of the East Coast elite, to consider him an “Oxford man,” a nouveau riche who can nonchalantly exchange pleasantries with old money. However, the character of Gatsby, the reader later finds, is a façade. Throughout the novel, the mask that he had carefully crafted for himself continues to deteriorate, and his upward mobility is stymied by his own misplaced ambitions as well as the insurmountable sociocultural expectations and barriers of the Roaring Twenties.

In the heyday of sophomore summer, the hot air clung to campus like a sweaty bed sheet, a strained bubble threatening to burst, saturated with a tantalizing blend of feverish heat and fervent youth. The Connecticut River sparkled, beckoning the glare of the rising sun creeping from the east. Down Tuck Drive, she was sitting alone on a bench. It was uncharacteristically early, and campus had only just begun to stir. In the stillness of the morning, she was numb.

She eventually declared a physics and math double major.

With the Olympic Games comes a celebration of the world-class talent of individual athletes. There’s something about the Olympics that is inherently different from our dominant American sports culture: it’s rare that we appreciate individual sports rather than the team sports associated with large stadiums and die-hard fans. For a nationwide sports fan base so committed to particular teams — some, like the Cleveland Browns’ Dawg Pound, in fanatical way — it’s quite jarring to witness the sudden shift to admiring individual athletes. We should use the Sochi Games as an opportunity to reflect on why individual sports have been pushed so far to the periphery in our collective sports consciousness and how better appreciating them would do justice to athletes at the college level.
