Thacher is definitely telling me it is Spring. Warmer weather with an average of 70 F, there are orange blossoms blooming everywhere and bees flying around them (with the help of our new bee hive at Carp.).

Time Flies
I cannot believe we are inside of five weeks to the end of the year! This year has literally flown by. I still feel like it was just yesterday I lugged my bags into my white, empty room. Now my room is crammed full of photos, letters, every color imaginable… I have had a great more »

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 »
