...suspect I knew then what I'm sure of now: it wasn't really the name itself I wanted to change, it was the person who'd wear it on a "Hello my name is" sticker at countless introductory meetings in the fall. I wasn't horribly unhappy with life in high school, but I had learned after four years my own weaknesses, the particular defects of my personality I wanted to leave with my old name in Connecticut. Entering college is one of those precious few transition points in our lives where it really is possible to refashion...
...reinvent yourself if that's what you want to do. It's a considerable violation of campus decorum to ask too much about your classmates' high school background, mostly because doing so is likely to lead to an onslaught of awards and SAT scores. The other reason, I suspect, is that many people came here with the same secret purpose as me: to leave that old self behind, and never speak of him or her again. The effete intellectual type here might well have been a jock in high school. The confrontational Crimson reporter was shy and reserved. The campus...
...find it somewhat difficult to respond to Scott Resnick's "May I Take Your Order?" (Opinion, May 21), if only because it's not quite clear what Resnick is demanding.

Perhaps it's simply a change of pace from my frequent-flyer life-style. For Nancy, who doesn't travel much, I suspect it's a refreshing combination of getting out of the house/classroom or maybe the sustained euphoria from school's being out for the summer...
...homemaker mom, Kid Rock (a.k.a. Bob Ritchie) was signed by Jive Records a decade ago but was dropped in the early '90s, around the time Vanilla Ice caused white hip-hop to be seen as something of a joke and almost all white rappers to be viewed as suspect. Kid Rock had to beg his skeptical father for a loan to put out an indie record (he has his own small label, Top Dog). At a local record signing early in his career, Kid Rock was challenged by a young Marshall Mathers--who would eventually become Eminem--to a battle...
