Page Interhouse

By Maddie

Each house hosts one big party during the school year, and Page is the first to host it in November. There are four interhouses during Winter Term, and then the last three are in the Spring. This year, our theme was Club Penguin.

We (mostly the frosh) build a dance floor, railings, and walls for the party. We painted it just like the disco floor in Club Penguin! Building and painting definitely take several weeks, and security has to clear all the construction before the party is approved.

We also had a place for fun photo ops! I thought the construction turned out really cute even though the theme seemed a bit weird at first. In past years, the themes have been the Cold War, Back to the Future, and Spongebob.

I was really looking forward to the party, but unfortunately it got shut down early this year due to some incidents unrelated to Page. I also hosted a Potluck just before the party, so look out for a blog post on that coming up!

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.
