A little over a year ago, Marina Keegan gained her undergraduate degree from Yale University. Five days later, she died in a car accident.
Keegan was carving out a path for herself as a writer and an activist, with her work appearing in the New York Times and the New Yorker.
One of the last pieces she wrote, titled “The Opposite of Loneliness” details aspects of her experience at Yale, but what she writes can be applicable to all of us.
