COLUMN: Monogamy is outdated
Because we are in college, relationships seem like a relevant topic. I do not proclaim to be an expert by experience. I speak here as a physician, and remember one need not have experienced the disease of the patient to be able to cure it. As it concerns a change of perspective, I do see […]
