Michael: Hey Robert, did you respond to my event invite on Facebook?
Michael: Hey Robert, how was dinner last night at that restaurant in the North End?
Robert: Hey Michael, I didn’t see you last night. Where were you?
Michael: Hey Robert, how’d you enjoy the Phoebe Bridgers concert?
Michael: Hey Robert, what is “Lindy?”
For this last column, I asked my friends to share a bit of what they’re looking forward to as a post-pandemic world starts to come into focus. They sent me songs of rumination and rest and, most of all, celebration.

On behalf of The Tufts Daily, welcome back to the Hill. We know this is a time of unique challenges, but we know this semester will undoubtedly yield meaningful experiences as well.
I confess: This letter was difficult for me to write. It is extremely rare for the Daily to publish a letter from the executive news editor, especially so in our final issue of the year. The turbulence of this semester, however, prompts me to break from this precedent.
Bookended by a string of consecutive incidents of hate and a disruptive pandemic, the 2019–20 academic year witnessed significant changes to Tufts' campus. University President Anthony Monaco joined the Daily via Zoom to discuss these developments and more.
