This is the last one. My dad said “Take a look at it one more time, you won’t come back.” It has been less than a week, but I am still shocked at the thought that I’m just not coming back to Brandeis. I have to remind myself that I am done. It has been a long journey...
My Last Few Days in College

Concrete Post-College Plans

The semester is coming to an end and unlike any other semester, it is moving fast. I am not sure how I feel about that. In part, I love being in school with all of my friends, but also I am feeling that academics are being a bit too much. Yet the fact that I am only...
Post-College Plans Should Not Take Over your Senior Year

Why is it important that you have a solid group of friends in college?
As expected, the first few weeks have been a challenge of adaptability, but I write this from the comfort of a new place where I find peace and happiness. As I have mentioned before in other blog posts, this senior year my friends and I are living in a house not so...
