Evan Li, Staff Writer
Most entries here start with a metaphor or a powerful illustration of what the most defining characteristic of a person is, and I would follow suit from this trend and so let’s just say that Evan Li (‘26) is a glass, the one you pour water in and drink from. The catch is that this glass has a small piece broken off it, always leaking water from the bottom. Strangely, this glass likes to read and understand various topics it encounters, from archeology to clinical psychology to absurdist literature. This glass always asks itself what the meaning of existence is, such as why it has a small piece broken off it. Regardless of what the glass tries to learn about or what the glass tries to change, everything the glass sees, does, learns, tries, no matter how much water you pour in, it all slowly fades away and seeps out. The only way the glass will ever refill itself is if it manages to immerse itself in a massive pool of water, finding something it truly wants to learn about. Journalism is just another body of water for this glass to learn about.
