What scares you?

ENW120 Students | Royal Report

On Feb. 4, we asked students around campus to answer the question: What scares you? Their answers ranged from ones that were silly and noncommittal to responses that evaluated the scarier parts of life, and honestly fessed up to what it is that they couldn’t bear to face. Here’s what they said:

“Birds. I was attacked by geese when I was six.”
