Looking Back at 2019
Every year for the past few years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) I’ve made one of these posts, and each year I’m even more surprised by how much can be packed into just twelve months. 2019 was an… interesting year. The highs were amazing, and the lows were… well, not great. I had a blast during […]

Looking Back at 2018
Every year for the past few years (2015, 2016, 2017) I’ve made one of these posts, and each year I’m even more surprised by how much can be packed into just twelve months. 2018 was a whirlwind year. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the first half of it was spent in magical Oxford, England, […]

Looking Back at 2015
2015 was a crazy year. College acceptance letters arrived in my mailbox. I found out that I possibly have exercised induced anaphylaxis (it’s a long story). I decided to attend Wheaton College in Norton, MA. I saw Walk the Moon perform at the House of Blues in Boston. I survived (and passed!) 4 AP exams. […]
