Don't tell your friends your room combo...

By Lori Dajose

…BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY SURPRISE YOU BY REDECORATING YOUR ROOM!!! Backstory: On Saturday the house cleaned all the random stuff out of our basement. Coincidentally, my roommate recently moved out, so my room was a little empty, since I have a very small amount of stuff. Anyway,I went home for the Easter weekend, and came back to find….

MY AMAZING FRIENDS WHO BROKE IN AND MADE EVERYTHING AWESOME!!! Thank you to Connor, Anthony, Rachel, Corwin, and Caroline!! :) <3 <3 <3

The rug, lamp, microwave, and sofa all were recycled from the basement. In addition, my friends VACUUMED and CLEANED!!!

AHHHHH!!! Anyway, just had to share this real quick because I feel like I’m on Extreme Home Makeover or something. I’m floored that they would take the time to redo my entire room. MY FRIENDS ARE SO AWESOMEEEEEEE!! Hope you all have a great week! Love, Lori

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.
