This Wednesday marks the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human rights (UDHR), the first global articulation of any form of inherent and universal human rights. Although it remains the world's most widely translated document of its kind and stands as a symbol of the highest goals society can achieve, its anniversary is as much a reminder of how little our country and the world as a whole have managed to progress as it is a celebration of the beauty of ideals.

Well, they say the Bahamas are nice this time of year. Today is our last issue of the semester, and I’m planning on taking my nonexistent paycheck, hopping into the Daily’s private jet and enjoying some sunshine and relaxation. This semester has been one heck of a ride, with plenty of ups and downs to keep the journey interesting.
