Hi friends, On Saturday, Avery House went to the beach.

My friend Tong lay down and buried himself in the sand for the morning. He said his dream was to be buried vertically…

Let’s just say that in Avery House, we work together to help you fulfill your dreams:

Tong got his deep vertical hole, built by Caltech engineers, complete with footholds. (: I learned toboogie board and skim board. It required less balance and was easier to learn than paddle boarding, which I tried the last time I went on beach trip. My friends and I also spikeball and volleyball on the sand. We finished the perfect day with dinner and s’mores over a bonfire on the beach.

Corn roasted in a bonfire has to be one of my favorite summer foods. How’s summer lookin’ for y’all? keep lookin’ up, jenny.

Summer Preseason

Unlike many students, I never had the opportunity to visit Caltech before enrolling. I had visited California once in elementary school, and the first time I returned was to move in for college. The only time I had ever left home before was for a week or two of sleepaway camp. Now, I would be moving across the country to a place I had never seen before with a bunch of strangers. Naturally, I was a bit terrified.

Page Paint Night

Every midterm week and final week, Page House Peer Advocates (PAs) put on a de-stressing event. This term for midterms, the PAs hosted a painting night in conjunction with a Page dessert night. (Every Thursday, the House gives $60 to a pageboy (a member of Page) to buy a bunch of dessert and snacks for the house for dessert night.). They provided canvases, paint brushes, and a variety of paint colors for the night. It was a really fun and relaxing time to stop working on sets or studying for midterms for a bit and hangout with friends.

Socal College Poker Tournament

On the weekend of April 16th, my friends and I participated in the first ever Southern California College Poker Tournament! The tournament was for college students in the SoCal area with a $0 buy-in that doubled as a recruiting event for quant and finance firms. A senior friend of mine (Vanessa, a fellow blogger) put together a team of five girls who had no interest in being recruited and just wanted to have fun playing poker.
