Aside from studying and taking grueling tests, if you’re a minority, the outer pressures of society make the already challenging coursework even more difficult. Knowing this, Black members of the class of 2017 decided to form an individual ceremony. It’s the first of its kind at the school in recent memory and took nearly a year to plan.

The separate graduation is an effort to highlight the aforementioned struggles and resilience it takes to get through those.

Meghann Foye, 38, was jealous of co-workers clocking out for maternity leave, and decided she needed a break of her own. Here, the author of the novel “Meternity” (Mira, out now), tells The Post’s Anna Davies why she believes every woman deserves mandated “me time.”

I was 31 years old in 2009, and I loved my career. As an editor at a popular magazine, I got to work on big stories, attend cool events, and meet famous celebs all the time.

And yet, after 10 years of working in a job where I was always on deadline, I couldn’t help but feel envious when parents on staff left the office at 6 p.m. to tend to their children, while it was assumed co-workers without kids would stay behind to pick up the slack.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes has made a Rachel Maddow-like fool of himself with a “scoop” on Trump’s taxes that turned out to be a “no comment” response from the President’s tax lawyer and White House officials.

“We’ve got a strange little scoop on the President’s taxes on tonight’s show,” Hayes tweeted yesterday afternoon. “It’s a very weird one. Tonight at 8pm.”

Immediately, the tweet was met with comments like “don’t go Rachel on us now” in reference to the last MSNBC host who tweeted out a teaser for a major Trump tax reveal and promptly found herself proving little more than that the President paid a boatload of taxes more than a decade ago.

Sadly for Hayes, his big reveal was headed in that direction.

In its latest example of hard-hitting journalism, CNN has blown the door wide open on President Donald Trump’s ice cream habits, informing the public that while everyone gets one scoop, he gets – GASP – two.
