Hello hello, welcome back to the blog! The weather here in Amherst has ACTUALLY finally warmed up (like, for real this time), and I have been taking full advantage of the lovely spring warmth by spending a lot of time on our campus’s various quads. Spring is also a time of year that really screams…Continue Reading Brunch Time
Hey everyone! I hope this post finds you well. Today, I’m excited to take you behind the scenes of a space many of us visit daily but rarely think about beyond the food on our plates—Valentine Dining Hall, better known as Val. I recently(few weeks ago haha) had the chance to tour the facility and…Continue Reading Behind-the-Scene: Dining System
Ah yes, the pre-college packing panic. I remember Googling “college dorm checklist” like it was a sacred text. I watched dorm hauls, read Reddit threads, and said things like, “I’m going to be so organized this year.” (Spoiler alert: I was not.) Now, a full year later, I’m here to give you the real rundown—what…Continue Reading Dorm Room Starter Pack: What I Brought vs. What I Actually Use

They turn breakdowns into breakthroughs, silence into peace, and…Continue Reading Places on Campus That Give Off Main Character Energy

Extracurricular Activities I continued my new hobby, cooking, with friends this semester! Not only are we cooking for ourselves, but we have also started the culinary club to…Continue Reading Snippets of My First Spring at Amherst
First year of college? A rollercoaster. You think it’ll be all leaf-strewn paths and late-night heart-to-hearts (and sometimes it is)… but it’s also crying at 2 a.m., romanticizing study sessions with lofi beats, and overthinking your entire existence in the walk from one class to the next. Music became my journal. My safety net. My…Continue Reading Songs That Got Me Through My First Year
Since high school, I have been involved in many leadership roles. However, I don’t know if the way I lead is the “best” way to lead, especially now at Amherst, where I am facing a more diverse population. Hence, I was so excited to see that Amherst announced the establishment of the Mammoth Leadership Academy….Continue Reading Being the Pioneering Cohort of Mammoth Leadership Academy
Hi readers! Welcome back! Sit back, relax, and enjoy hearing about my experience of my Spanish language journey at Amherst. In applying to Amherst College, I had a general understanding of the areas of interest that I wanted to study.

Now, some of you may be thinking, “Emi, you usually…Continue Reading Mini Moments That Made Me Happy
