Just a few days ago, the year’s greatest holiday came and went – April Fools Day. Throughout my time at Thacher, I’d never really understood why people liked April Fools so much. Yes, the pranks were clever, but I never quite got the hype. This year, I finally came to understand. Directly after check-in, the more »

Second Visits
Thacher just had its first round of second visits, and it was so eye-opening to be on the host end of this important part of the admission process. I remember being nervous beyond words on my second visit, despite my host’s kind and fun-loving personality. On my second visit, I can best remember the time more »
My Thacher Bucket List
As my Thacher graduation date is ever looming closer, I can’t help but begin to form a bucket list of things I want to do before I leave. And in terms of my senior year, I think I’ve already done a pretty good job. This year I have sung in a coffee-house, written for the more »

While the rainy weather that we’ve had since coming back from break could make it harder to readjust to life at school, I actually find my friends, being back in the dorm and back on campus generates enough sunshine to outshine the rain :)
Comradeship
In English we recently finished reading Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front, a novel about World War I. Expected to write a paper on the novel, I began to think about possible roadmaps I could take. The first road was to choose a general idea or topic that could easily generate solid evidence. The second more »
My first EDT (Extra Day Trip)
Well, this fall was my first EDT (Extra Day Trip), besides Golden Trout with my class last fall, and I am not exactly the camping type. Last spring I stayed back at school with the tennis team for the CIF playoffs while everyone else went out on trips. For this year’s fall EDT I went more »
