Thus, my name immediately triggered the mentioning … Read More
by Hannah Lee ‘21 So I’ll admit it: I am a sucker for typical high school coming of age media.

by Sudha Sudhaker ‘21 As I look back on my high school experience, it seems like just yesterday that I was an incoming freshman at orientation.
