The above quote is from Sarah Woods Klingelheber (Class of 2002). Read the full memory below:

Oh, yes, who can forget your cubicles with your window view out into the Rhode Island greenery. I sat there reading and writing, hunting for books, watching the outside light fade to gold and then to black among the leaves. I have a distinct memory during finals my sophomore year. I was working on yet another twenty-page paper and I got up to stretch my legs. Near the elevator I ran into my old RC and we were wiping the sweat off our brows sharing our finals woes when she said to me, “All it is, is a test of endurance.” It gave me a much needed new perspective on my paper—it didn’t matter what I knew, what mattered was the amount I was willing to endure and how long I would make it last. And that truly was the essence of the Rock for me, getting lost among its troves of knowledge and challenging, finding, and regaining my stamina and endurance.
