When I arrived at Tufts in 2021, I knew who I was and what I wanted. When I introduced myself across countless icebreakers that fall, I made sure to let anyone and everyone know that I was here to major in international relations and minor in economics, aiming to work in a think tank after I graduated to be close to the political world. This confidence, at the time, seemed well justified. After all, since middle school, I had maintained a passionate interest in Model UN as a vehicle by which I could learn about international affairs and diplomacy, and in my International Baccalaureate program, I regarded my classes as preparation for delving deeper into international relations. In the weeks before I arrived at college and for weeks after matriculation, I remained clear-eyed about my future, researching past courses in international relations and listing down the classes I hoped to take in my four years here, as well as extracurriculars which would support my ambitions.

When I came to Tufts in the fall of 2022, I was still in shock from the start of the full-scale invasion of my home country, Ukraine. I was exhausted by uncertainty: watching the horrific news unfold, not yet knowing how to cope with the daily tragedies caused by the bombings and fighting on the frontline. Speaking up about the war on social media was helping me to feel less powerless. When I heard about the Daily, I realized that writing for the newspaper would be another great way to raise awareness about the war — a tool to turn my frustration into helpful actions. At first I was not sure that I would find support for a column about Ukraine. However, from the very first meeting in the Opinion section, I felt encouraged to express my reflections about the war, and this support helped me tremendously to gain the courage to share my personal, often traumatic experiences through my writing.

A multimedia installation starring leafcutter ant patterns. Chinese Mexican identity explored through early 20th-century printmaking. These are just a couple of projects that students are pursuing as they finish the SMFA Combined Degree program, where students spend five years earning two degrees simultaneously: a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and a Bachelor of Art or Bachelor of Science from the School of Arts and Sciences.

Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing six student theater shows here at Tufts. These shows are rehearsed for weeks, sometimes months, only to be shown for two or three short nights, so my favorite part is, without a doubt, being able to share the pictures with the people involved and preserving the memories. It’s beyond impressive what students manage to create together and give to an audience, and I wish the pictures could do the performances justice. It’s also just really fun to do, especially because each show is challenging in its own way. Whether it’s the lights, the set or the space, there’s always something new that forces me to adapt.

As I prepare to graduate from Tufts, I find myself reflecting on what I’ve learned over the last four years. I’ve learned an incredible amount academically, grown emotionally and matured as an adult. Still, the piece of knowledge that grabs my shoulders and shakes me, screaming, “I am the most important!” is my new, glimmering mindset. Over my time at Tufts, I have realized that our perceptions of “reality” are often fake. As such, why not commit to living authentically, despite what others may think of you?

If you ask Malia Brandt her first impression of her roommate, Jove Gorsline, her response is simple: “We vibed.” Ray Feinleib thought Richard Diamond was jacked. For Anita Raj and Sara Francis, a mutual love of fantasy novels sealed the deal. Carlos Pulido thought, “Wait, I could be friends with this guy,” about his roommate Max Foley. All of these graduating seniors have been college roommates from orientation week to commencement.

Certain students in the Class of 2025 will be the first, and only, people to graduate from Tufts with their specific major. What do they all have in common? Well, on an official level, they’ll each receive a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies, even though this one degree spans across and beyond the academic concentrations Tufts offers.

More than 47,000 species are currently threatened with extinction. Just last year, the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List reported five newly extinct species and five others moved to the critically endangered list. Scientists from Dallas-based biotech company Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences are working to revive extinct animals in order to “jumpstart nature’s accestral heartbeat.” However, its choices in animals are questionable: Tasmanian tigers, mammoths, dire wolves and dodo birds. Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences’ mission, although a marvel of modern technology, is a shoddy attempt to restore balance to mother nature without addressing humanity’s failure to protect animals that went extinct in the last decade.
