  • Undergrad Adventures: Black Literature in the U.S.

    I originally signed up for ENG 205, Black Literature in the U.S., for two reasons. One: I needed some extra units. Two: It’s with my capstone professor, so I was already familiar with how rigorous the class was going to be and what was to be expected. Seven weeks into the class, I can say…

  • Undergrad Adventures: Senior Symposium

    In order to graduate from the English literature and language program at Cal Poly Pomona, you have to take a class called Senior Symposium.

  • Undergraduate Adventures: 7 Seinfeldian Moments

    It’s not that big of a secret that Seinfeld is one of my favorite shows of all time. I’m essentially Elaine Benes, but this quarter especially, there have been a couple of times where I’ve wondered if I’m in the middle of an episode. 1. There’s this running joke on The Poly Post editorial staff…
