When thinking about this month’s Toad Blog, I asked my roommate what she as a perspective student had been most curious about. Her answer: day-to-day life. So while I know somewhere on the website is A Day in The Life, I’m going to write my own for you. 7:30- Roll out of bed, a rude […]

Dinner @ Doc’s
In my last blog, I mentioned the ten things I missed most about Thacher. One of them was advisee dinners and I’m going to elaborate on them. Last night instead of formal dinner, four other girls and I walked the couple hundred yards up to our advisor’s–Doc. V’s–house. Before we reached the house, the delicious […]
Ten Things I Missed Most about Thacher
10. The Ojai Sunsets-majestic and beautiful, they’re like none other in the world 9. Munch-outs- Nothing beats ending a day eating ice-cream, cookies, and other snacks while hanging with your prefect group. 8. Open House- I still remember my disbelief at the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Mulligan have the whole school over every Saturday night, but now […]
Looking Forward
It seems like only days ago I was packing up my Casa room, hugging everyone goodbye, and boarding my plane–and yet here it is the end of summer. I remember this time last year vividly, I was so excited, terrified, but counting the days till Thacher started. This year I’m counting the days till school […]
Slaughtering an Epic
With a new trimester come new teachers, sports, and schedules. This term I got a new English teacher- I’d heard great things about Mrs. Mulligan as a teacher, but no one could tell you quite how wonderful she is until you actually get her as a teacher. Mrs. Mulligan makes the text come alive, brings […]
The View from (t)Here
Winding your way over the mountain, it takes only minutes until you can see the whole Ojai Valley; the view stretches out before you. You take a moment to absorb it all, knowing that time after time, this view will never stop taking your breath and giving you that second to pause in your busy […]
Thacher All Wrapped Up
The game starts and the Varsity Girl’s Basketball team is running, the ball is flying back and forth across the court and the scoreboard is rapidly changing. In the stands everyone is standing and screaming Go Toads! The atmosphere is electric; study hall may be starting soon, but for now we’re living in the moment, hoping […]
Math Alive!
Academic experiences at Thacher are so incredible, that it’s hard to choose one that’s stood out of the many I’ve had so far. Being in a classroom at Thacher means that you’re paying attention, bouncing ideas around the room, or listening to your peers’ papers, which sometimes sound as if they were written by college […]
Imagine It!
I can’t believe Parent’s Weekend starts tomorrow. It seems like such a short time ago my parents were dropping me off, a terrified kid who didn’t know anybody. It’s hard to believe that I’ve adjusted to life at Thacher in just six short weeks. Even though I came with riding experience, I never imagined I’d […]
Starting Thacher as a new student
Starting Thacher as a new student was and is really scary, but after the first waves of emotion you settle into life at Thacher pretty quickly. From your camping trip you discover, the diverse talents of your class. It was so amazing sitting by a campfire listening to one of your classmates play a song […]
