OTR's become such a buzz at Tufts that I've had to run across the ocean before outing myself.

...so really, no one actually gives enough of a shit about who I am that I'd have to run to another country to protect my identity. But when people start dedicating their personal time that they could be using to actually be productive to instead tell you how much they hate you, well - your head tends to swell.

Hi. I'm Meredith. And I'm revealing my identity to you from the UK while abroad in hopes that I can stave off physical assault until I return to campus next semester as the TuftsOTR Editor-in-Chief (we're switching up formats a little; you'll see!).

Why have some of us chosen to come out to you? It's amazing the freedom that a little identity can afford you. Not having to fight people that have figured out who we are is a bonus, too. And we'll still carry on in class, style, and terrible humor, as TuftsOTR is wont to do.
