As a proud English major of the University of Iowa, I feel like I’m pretty with it when it comes to classic literature and poems. But there is one piece that somehow alluded me despite the many classes I took at the once-upon-a-time bomb shelter that is the EPB...Rudyard Kipling’s poem “IF”.
That is until recently when it came into my purview thanks to, of all the things, Tik Tok. When I tell you I’ve wasted a TON of time on that platform watching people do the dumbest (and I mean the DUMBEST) things... stumbling upon “IF” has actually done me some good in my life.
