Balancing Rebellion

Caroline Schlegel has always been a rule follower since she was young, but despite it, all finds balance with rebellion in her everyday life.

Schlegel has dabbled in rebellion, whether it be bending gender norms or cutting her hair and dying it pink, but the moment that sticks out the most for her is her academic rebellion.

“I feel like a lot of rebellion that I have personally done has revolved around like I think an assignment in school has been stupid so I found a loophole to get like through it,” said Schlegel.

Schlegel had been raised by the rebellious movement of alternative music and holds a strong belief that rebellion is vital to society, whether it is small acts of change for yourself or change that will impact the world.

“Rebellion can exist on an intimate level, or it can be on a public scale,” said Schlegel. “I think it’s anything making a difference.”
