Everybody has secrets.

By definition, a secret is something that a person keeps to himself and never reveals to the world. All of that can change.

With DaytonSecret, a new exhibit featured in ArtStreet, UD students have the chance to spill it to the public - anonymously.

You should take advantage of this exhibit because it allows you to share something that you may have been hiding for a while. It feels good to get something off of your chest, and there is the added bonus of keeping your identity to yourself.

The display is to promote mental health awareness, but in reality it is so much more than that. This exhibit offers the chance to realize that whatever your dirty little secret is, chances are that someone else on campus can relate. Likewise, others' secrets will probably resonate with you as well.

We live in a society that is ruled by standards of how everyone should look, think and act. Break these norms and risk alienation. It is enough to make anyone want to keep a differing opinion quiet.

This mentality makes us believe that if we are different, we are wrong. It's not easy to break out of these molds, but displays like DaytonSecret are a fantastic start.

We think that it's pretty cool that there is a chance for the UD community to participate in a forum like this. You may think you know your fellow students, but there really is no way to tell. DaytonSecret shatters these preconceived notions with uncensored truth.

We encourage the campus to embrace this opportunity to share a little bit of yourselves. Take a minute, think about something meaningful that you keep under wraps, and gather the courage to share it with your peers.

As students, we sit in classrooms to learn and prepare for the future. DaytonSecret is proof that sometimes the best education cannot be found in an academic building or the lecture of a professor but rather in the reflections of our peers.
