Daphne’s Dilemma: The Final Column

By Daphne Chen
Sometimes my friends say I’m a bit of a Daphne Downer. I’m always the one at parties to bring up things like “You guys, this is the last birthday we’re going to celebrate together!” or “You guys, next year at this time we’re going to be across the country!”
I just can’t help myself [...]
