From the editor
I graduated from Arizona State University (ASU) — Go Sun Devils — and I recently found out that my alma mater is offering a Taylor Swift social psychology class.

Yes, I’m ready for it, and this course may just be the thing that pushes me to enroll in ASU’s grad program. Even though I was a fine art major, I’ll find a way to make it work.
