During the first half of freshman year I was in a constant state of confusion and anxiety, and I pretty much constantly looked to the more experienced creative writers as examples. But when sophomore year started, not only was I more experienced, but the new freshmen were now looking up to me and my peers…

This last Friday, Creative Writing had our yearly poetry show. We spend the week before rehearsing and reminding everyone we see to come to the performance, and in that time, I reflected back on how much I’ve changed and grown since last year’s show. My writing has become far more precise and interesting, for one.…

by Abigail (’14) On Friday the third, Umläut had a successful (and profitable) release party for the 2014 issue, dubbed Plastic Knives! We pity everyone who wasn’t there, and we’re sure those who came didn’t regret spending the night before Prom with us.
