Taco Tuesday and Pi Day

By Maddie

In the last week of term, my friends hosted a Taco Tuesday at their apartment. The food was amazing. The chicken, chorizo, steak, refried beans, guac, and salsa were all homemade!

Here’s the chef…the food was seriously delicious! :)

After eating tacos and playing fishbowl (a combination of taboo and charades), we went to the Pi Day celebration at 3/14, 1:59AM. There were a variety of pies, including apple, banana cream, raspberry, and more. I personally don’t like sweet pies (and I was stuffed with tacos and chips), so I didn’t get anything, but it was definitely a popular event! I think the US should adopt savory pies like the ones in the UK…I wonder where they all went and why they didn’t survive here.

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.

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.
