Celebrating the Holidays at Tech

Hi Everyone! I am really enjoying my well-deserved break after term ended….San Diego is absolutely GORGEOUS during the wintertime (as always!). There is definitely no snow, but there is a change in the winds and it gets a bit chilly at night. This past week and weekend, I’ve been just hanging out with the family, doing some shopping, and enjoying all the downtime.

I wanted to take this post to reminisce about the past holiday seasons I’ve spent with my friends at Tech right before we go off to break. Andrew threw this small celebration our Sophomore year… a Christmas party with a secret Santa gift exchange and lots of holiday treats!! That was so much fun…and really got me in the holiday spirit!

Anyway…I hope you all are enjoying your holiday season with your families and staying warm no matter what part of the country you’re in. And Andrew….(all the way in NJ) I miss you best friend! Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas with your family!

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.
