Who is Thomas Devlin? Unfortunately, we may never know the full answer. Apocryphal information, however, can lead us to some reasonable guesses. Born in the late 20th century (stringent estimates place him in 1995), Devlin grew up in the small conservative town of Douglas, Massachusetts. Studying migration patterns, we assume he moved to New York City during his sowing-of-oats years, where he attended NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study (little known about this school even in his time). He reached his active peak when heading a newspaper called “WSN” before being usurped and spending the rest of his life trying to maintain relevance. Follow him on Twitter.

Learning how to navigate a city all over again is not as easy as it seems, as this writer will soon discover after getting lost in the streets of London.
It is very hard to stand out at NYU. It is not enough to be the president of a club, or have an internship at Goldman Sachs, or run a newspaper. I won’t even get into how it...
At the end of the third date, there was a sense of expectation. I stood there, awkwardly using my umbrella as a kind of cane and not quite sure what to say in this situation....
