But I&#8217;d say once you&#8217;ve flirted with it a little bit, it\u2019s quite terrifying.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newcomb is an avid rock climber. He climbs multiple times a week, devoting a large portion of his time to this activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[Rock climbing] reminds me of my mortality,\u201d Newcomb said. \u201cIt&#8217;s also incredibly pointless. I&#8217;m arbitrarily scaling up this rock that I could walk around to get to the other side. There&#8217;s no eternal meaning or deeper point to it.

He feels a connection to writing that others don\u2019t, and he believes that it makes him unique. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere&#8217;s something about written word, I have no idea what it is, but written words just resonate with me,\u201d Newcomb said. \u201cA lot of people that I&#8217;ve spontaneously come to admire are writers as well. I&#8217;m not sure why, but it just resonates with me and I derive a great sense of joy from it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newcomb said that he is often labeled as cynical and pessimistic because of his overall outlook on life and what it entails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere&#8217;s not really any point to living,\u201d Newcomb said. \u201cNothing&#8217;s going to come from it, but living is amusing, and it&#8217;s full of joy and pleasure. So I think people view it too seriously. In some sense, they think everything they do matters, but it really doesn&#8217;t. Life becomes very, very interesting when you realize that and everything you do is for kicks in some sense, and there&#8217;s no difference between saving somebody&#8217;s life and eating a saltine cracker. It&#8217;s hilarious and I think it&#8217;s really enjoyable that way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With around 1,300 students in the building, passing faces in the hall can blur together.
