Hi readers,
I hope you all are doing well! I’m going to share my Amherst experiences with you through some photos I’ve taken. I remember stalking photos of current Amherst College students before attending to get a feel for college life. With the pictures I’ll share below, there’ll be no need to stalk! You’re welcome.
I hope these photos show you just how much I adore Amherst College! I love studying on the first-year quad, exploring trails in Amherst, biology field labs, movie nights with friends, Winter Festival, trying new activities (like skiing), sledding, learning to take vitals, being part of a team, skating, celebrating South Asian holidays, displaying Amherst pride, dressing up for Halloween, going to raves at Amherst College, going to football games, getting free stuffed animals, being silly, and sunsets. There is so much more to Amherst College than studying. College is about meeting new people, making memories, and finding the beauty in small things. I was so scared that I wouldn’t have time to have fun in college with all the studying I would have to do. I now know that’s not the case at all! Yes, I have a lot of work. However, I also have more free time in my schedule than in high school; I can always make time for myself and my friends.
When you become a student at Amherst College, I hope you document your experiences through photographs. One day, when you’re older, you’ll look back at them with fondness 🙂
