I just finished my final essay of college! Although it feels anticlimactic to turn in an essay on Canvas and suddenly be done, I also feel immense gratitude for being the first person in my family to be able to say they turned in their last college essay or exam.

Amidst all the "Oppenheimer" discussion, I think audiences should read "Hiroshima" by John Hersey before viewing the film. It tells of the bombing through the eyes of the victims, not the ones who made and dropped the bomb.
