away scot free. The train station to others was the current point of the argument. I don’t believe it to be true because the train is going to Madrid no matter the choice made. No matter how the argument goes that point doesn’t change. And the train wont suddenly change directions. The train station better represents time itself. That the choice cannot be mulled over forever. Instead of being a point in the argument, it instead is a point in time where the argument is being held. Where the…

In a school as massive as Boston University, it is difficult for any one individual to become a prominent, widely recognized social figure. Yet somehow, people all over campus recognize junior Barron Roth. Donning a backwards black hat, a long black t-shirt with “Official” plastered in all caps across the front, white jeans, and white Vans with no socks, Barron sails past the windows of Boston University’s West Campus dining hall on a sky blue skateboard.
