I would like to say that this letter is an attempt to defend columnist Lilly Miller, but sadly it is not. After reading Mr. Comegy’s comment, I searched through The Ithacan archive to disprove his idea that Lilly Miller does not speak for the students, but sadly I was unable to do so.

I looked through article after article trying to search for meanings in these words that she has written but was unable to do so. Such articles as, “The Farewell to Facebook” and “Work All Day, Up All Night” had nothing to offer me except a bad anecdote. I like the idea of having a freshman columnist in The Ithacan telling her side of the story because this freshman class is one of the biggest in Ithaca College history, but I find these stories boring and pointless. “A Little Hard to Understand” was a step in the right direction, portraying the hardships that people with speech impediments have to face, but I have no interest in reading about pulling an all-nighter.

Granted, I could simply ignore the column and just read the rest of The Ithacan, but I hope that by me writing this Lilly Miller really thinks about what she is saying when she writes. She is the voice of her freshman class and should show Ithaca College how much they have to offer.

Editor’s Note: Lilly Miller’s column, “Little Fish, Big Pond,” was never intended to be representative of the student body or freshman class at Ithaca College. The Ithacan designated it a humor column about the columnist’s own experience during her first semester of college.
