A little bit about myself..

By Grace

Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t know me yet, a brief introduction about myself…

My name is Grace, and I’m a rising sophomore here at Caltech. I’m an international student, having lived in Korea and London for 10 and 8 years respectively. I’m an aspiring ACM major and I am also toying with the idea of a minor in Philosophy/English. I’m one of the soc froshes for Fleming House, and last year I’ve been involved in a bunch of extra-curricular activities such as a cappella, the caltech yearbook, InnoWorks and the SFP House Ambassadors program. I’m a foodie and a yelp addict, and when I’m not looking up cool cafés to check out, I’m probably just busy doing sets…

I’m hoping to make two posts a week about any new and hip food places I visit, as well as posts of my attempts to cook food at Caltech on weekends if I ever feel that adventurous. I might also occasionally write about life as an International student, so watch this space!

My Friday Nights

It was the Friday night of midterms during my first year at Caltech, and I was alone in the library. That weekend (week five of term, if you’re keeping count) also happens to coincide with Halloween. But as a bright-eyed frosh trudging my way through Ma 1a lecture notes, I was just baffled that no one else was studying alongside me. Spoiler alert: not all Caltech students spend Friday night—or every night—studying or grinding sets, even during midterms. And especially on Halloween weekend.

In order to get a good sense of the Caltech community, there is no better way than to talk to the students themselves. To give a little bit of an inside perspective of Caltech, I asked some students a variety of questions. Questions ranged from conspiracy theories to Caltech-specific takes and other random topics.

What's on my desk?

I’d like to think that I keep a tidy desk, but hey— entropy prevails for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of all the items you could find on my desk, circa February 2023.

Searching for snow

My grandma always says that it rains whenever Dragonssuperior zodiac sign travel, and sure enough, it was raining when I landed at LAX for my last calendar year at Caltech. It’s officially my graduation year—but between leaving campus just before spring term in my freshman year and returning, twenty-one years old, as a junior, it really does feel like my time here has flown by.
