Quote of the Day
Overall, students submitted more than 12,000 comments, explanations, or narratives of what happened, as well as their thoughts and emotions. Some were short and straight to the point, while others were almost short stories. I will pick one of the submissions and post it as Quote of the Day, together with a brief explanation to contextualize the narrative, on this site every day. I hope you will enjoy reading the quotes. You can scroll down to read previous quotes. The just-released ebook The (Un)Remarkable Sex Life of Gen Z Students uses 750 quotes to illuminate Gen Z's sex life using their own words.
