Page Beach Trip

By Kalyn

This past weekend, Page House rented a place in Carlsbad, CA (near San Diego) for two nights. The house was amazing! It had three stories, several TVs, a private movie theater, and it was right across from the beach.

Beach tripwas so much fun, and I got to know people in my house better. The best part was waking up in the morning and being able to walk to the beach right after breakfast; the UCCs (upper classmen counselors) and social team made pancakes and fried bacon for everyone. The beach was gorgeous, and it wasn’t crowded or dirty (unlike some of the popular LA beaches). People went boogie boarding, built sand castles, and had a great time together.

After the beach, a few of my friends and I walked to In-N-Out before heading back to the house. I had to leave beach trip early to be back home for Mother’s Day, but overall, I had a great experience and I can’t wait for next year’s beach trip!

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.
