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.

Appreciation and Applications
Playlist of the week — for FOCUSING! http://8tracks.com/katelynnbae/the-ultimate-study-playlist Happy belated Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving was never a holiday I really celebrated in the past, but I learned this year that it is a very important holiday to many Americans who take this time to be with their family and appreciate all that they have. That’s a great holiday, and although my way…
