History/Historic Moments/Witnessing History
I'm beginning to get the feeling that people are unable to directly witness/experience historic moments anymore.

My brain
Today I sat on a panel of students for a discussion about ways to improve the effectiveness of University Career Centres and that sort of thing. It was interesting. It was kind of an odd thing to volunteer for I guess but hopefully I helped a bit ( Read more... ) -
