On Wednesday, the Senior Class decided to have our own Senior Thanksgiving dinner. We each brought dishes, from mac and cheese to the classic mashed potatoes. As I looked around at all 69 of us in the Thacher room, I thought, “This is what family, what true friendship is.” The thing that I, along with […]

My Favorite Class?
My favorite class? Math, although at some points challenging I thoroughly enjoy learning about new algebraic concepts and seeing how previous learned concepts come together to help me solve a specific program. I have for some time now enjoyed this subject. It is the easiest for me to follow, I like numbers not words so […]
Thacher Relationships
This last Saturday my freshman prefect drove up from USC to watch the Thacher vs. Cate football game and spend some time on campus. We watched the game and ended up spending the rest of the day together. I accidentally missed half of the events Indoor Committee planned that night just talking with him. I […]
A Coffee Surprise
This last Saturday, we had our first coffee house of the year. This is a time where anyone of any grade can do any performance for the school’s entertainment. Though anything is allowed, the show mostly consists of musical performances. For a school of such small size, there is an absurd amount of musical talent. […]
Hacky Sac at Golden Trout
After a long day of hiking up Mt. Langley, my prefect group arrived at the campsite. The temperature was dropping rapidly so everyone got some layers on. Grady (our prefect) got out his hacky sac. The six of us gathered up in a circle, and began playing. We all laughed at our mistakes. I looked […]
Welcome to Thacher!
I cannot believe it’s been a month since that September 1st morning. I almost couldn’t speak I was so nervous, and now I couldn’t picture myself anywhere else! Once I got settled in, it was like I had gone to Thacher my whole life. My favorite part has to be dorm life. This year, the […]
Senior Reflections
As the first week of classes comes to an end and the weekend begins, I can’t believe it’s only been five days that I’ve spent back in those small, round table discussions. By Tuesday it seemed like weeks had gone by since school had begun. I am always astounded by how fast things get going […]
Flash Mobs, Villanelles, and T-swift
These first six weeks have been more of a blur than I can possibly describe. After five days of tennis in one hundred degree heat, five days of backpacking through gorgeous wilderness, and four weeks of classes, sports, prefectship, and senior bonding time, I have never felt more apart of the school. Graduating in eight […]
Morning Run
There are seven of us, and we roll out of bed at 7 in the morning. We decided to have an early cross country practice to have the afternoon off. The morning is cold, a stark contrast from the day before. We all look up and realize the Ojai Valley is covered in a layer […]
Third time’s a charm
Every once in a while you’ve got to put the formalities aside and lighten things up a bit as displayed by senior girls Mackenzie, Giovanna, and Margot. For Margot the third time proved a success. Geez, I am sure going to miss these girls.
