Four years is a really long time. Four years is a president’s term, the whole life of a preschooler, the length of medical school. If I look back on the person I was four years ago when I walked onto the Hopkins campus, I am amused and amazed. Since I stepped onto the Hopkins campus, [...]
Over the past few weeks I’ve been putting off schoolwork and trying to check things off of my bucket list. For the first time maybe ever, I’ve let myself relax about school, haven’t worried about my GPA, and have ignored quite a bit of work. It feels good though, and with graduation looming just over [...]
As my time at Hopkins wraps up and I enter my final month on the Homewood campus, I’ve been thinking about how much has changed since I arrived here nearly four years ago. While many things about me are different–I’m better dressed (I hope), have added a few piercings, about a foot of hair, and [...]
I’ve been hinting at it for a while but now that things are finalized I’m excited to provide a bit more detail in what exactly I’m doing after graduation. I’ve mentioned before that I’m deferring my start with McKinsey to travel and explore the world a bit. Since the summer I’ve been planning to take [...]
I’m on the train back to Hopkins for what will probably be the last time as a student, and it’s gotten me thinking about the many trips back and forth I’ve taken over my four years here. There was the first train ride as a nervous freshman, visiting my high school boyfriend at his school, [...]
I’ve been thinking for a while about how, and whether, I want to talk about this. As those of you who’ve read my blog before may have noticed, I tend to stick to simple topics, chatting about how much I love traveling, or what great new restaurant I’ve been to. I always devote some time [...]
As the end of college draws perilously close my friends and I have begun compulsively making lists, just to make sure we haven’t forgotten anything. Four years has flown by, and though I can’t make this year last any longer, I can make sure it’s amazing and packed with all the things I forgot to [...]
Hi All, Since I returned to lovely Baltimore nearly a month ago, there’s been a lot going on. Since we’ve returned there’s been a hurricane, a tropical storm, and what I can only assume was a monsoon. I somehow managed to leave both raincoat and rainboots at home, so I’m personally very pleased to report [...]
Today, I headed back to Baltimore to attack the pile of laundry formerly known as my apartment. Lovely club 900 has been mostly uninhabited for the past month, so my mom and I drove down there this morning to attempt to tame the mess. I think this also officially marks the start of senior year. [...]
I’ve been spending my summer working for McKinsey, and most of the time I’ve been in D.C. Though slightly unexpected, this has given me the chance to catch up with some other Hopkins kids and hear about what they’ve been doing this summer. Everyone seems to be doing something different and exciting. My roommate, Laura, [...]
