Hello, Blog! After my trip to Paris in the last blog, it was hard to imagine my sister and I would follow it up with such a fun-filled week in London, but we did it (thank you Olivia for your detailed planning)! Last week, after arriving back in London from Paris, we brought our luggage to my flat and headed…

Music, Museums, and Matcha: A Week in my London Life
Hello, Blog! I’ve had another great week, so much so that I’ve barely even felt the annual post-Halloween depression I’ve come to expect after the decorations go away and the candy goes back to regular packaging. This could also be due to the fact that I’m still carrying out my Fall Watchlist and the mountain of Halloween movies I still…
I’m a twin!
Hello again! Back with another blog post, and this time I thought I’d delve into some introspection after a conversation I just had with one of the counselors from the Office of Admission about our similar upbringings.

(Rhode) Island Gyal
I had such a fun and adventure-packed trip last weekend that I’m not done blogging about it! Every summer my family has a reunion in Little Compton, RI; we get a break from the city and get to spend some quality time at the beach. Unfortunately, half of the family couldn’t make it to our family reunion, but I got…
Purpose. (alt title: dreams from my father)
If I had to pick a theme for the semester so far, it’ll probably be purpose. Last weekend was family and friends weekend, and my Dad who lives in New York came up to Boston for a couple of days. We went out for dinner in the city on Friday, and I had the opportunity to meet some of his colleagues…
