End of Semester Sprint
Hello Blog! As the semester comes to an end, it seems like everything is happening in a blur. I’ll be honest, when the semester starts speeding up, I start to lose all perception of time.

Home Stretch
Hello Blog! It’s the last week before spring break! Luckily, I actually don’t have a lot of midterms this week – just have the normal amount of problem sets and readings due.

Sea, Sickness, and Study Spots!
Hello Blog! Welcome back to another alliteratively-titled post! As the title suggests, I’ve been recovering from a cold so apologies for the delayed post.
