This past week in my AP US government and politics class, we each wrote a political article, about any subject conceivably related to government or our political system. We spent a few class days and homework nights perfecting our articles until our teacher posted them on our class blog. But, the most exciting part was […]
Coming out of a lovely three-week vacation, the fact that the seniors only have a few more months here has struck me with frightening force. As each classic Thacher milestone passes, I cannot help but consider how they’ll be my last. This will probably be my last season ever playing a team sport. Suddenly, like […]
Hello again, dear friends!! Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. Mainly, musical, independents, and 2013! I trust that everyone had a relaxing holiday, and managed to get away for some fun! Personally, I hit up some of the ski resorts on the west side of Lake Tahoe, and had a great time. […]
The New Year is an interesting time at Thacher. All of us are excited and eager to return to the regular Thacher routine. It is more exciting yet, to return to a fresh start. This year, I am determined to read at least twenty-five of the books on Time’s One Hundred Best Novels of all […]
The past trimester, the fall of my senior year, has been perhaps the busiest few months of my life. There has been classes, prefectship, sports, and all other aspects of Thacher. Not to mention, I’m a senior! Which means college apps and my senior exhibition are always on my mind. So yes, it’s been busy, […]
It is so hard to believe that the end of the school year is already here. I am sure it was just yesterday when I was dropped of here on my first day of school. As sad as I am to leave this beautiful campus, I am excited about this summer. After working Thacher’s alumni […]
Dearest reader, to fully understand what a Thacher student feels like going into the last trimester of his junior year, one must undoubtedly have either a great understanding of the Europe song, “The Final Countdown,” or must have it playing on speakers near you (don’t worry, I’ve supplied the link at the bottom). Which is […]
The end of the term is coming up really soon, and spring break starts in a few days. I am definitely looking forward to spring break. Enjoying two weeks off from any schoolwork and resting my recovering hip are definitely on my priority list. But, even though I’m excited for break, the winter term is […]
“I missed you” rings through the dorm as more and more girls return from winter break. While it is always fantastic, to see family, sleep-in, and eat home cooked meals, it’s equally fantastic to return to school after breaks. When your used to seeing your best friends everyday, three weeks truly feels like forever. Besides […]
Today is the final day before everyone departs for winter break and Thacher is in the holiday spirit. Our dorm has already had a holiday party, hanging decorations and home-made ornaments on the tree, decorating cookies, and making paper snowflakes. Tonight is the annual tradition of the boar’s head, in which the freshmen class parade […]
