Editorial: Who is that on my ID?!

Who is that bitch with the braids and long hair? Where is the fuck ass bob?! Where are the hot librarian glasses?!  

That is what I ask myself when I look at my IDs from 2021, when I had long hair, no fringe and... no style. My identity consisted of Accutane progress photos, small town girl in big city energy and homesickness.  

But my old student ID expires at the end of this month, along with the sad-looking photo of me that went with it. This is in some ways very unfortunate as I’ve been using the ID to get student discounts even though I’m graduated – thanks Massey xoxo. 

But in another sense, I’m excited to throw it away. I don’t resonate with that Sammy much anymore. She wore braids to hide her hair when it got greasy. Her Doc Marten's collection was tiny. She was too scared to drive in the big city. She was figuring out how to eat normally living on her own. She couldn’t read the lecture screens because she needed glasses!  

Looking ahead, I’d appreciate it if Massey could give me a new ID with a new photo so I can keep getting student discounts forever.  

Love, Sammy
