This past weekend, the newly founded Stevens Mock Trial team competed in its first-ever regional tournament. Although we did not receive a bid to the next level, in my eyes, this tournament went exceedingly well, and the future of the mock trial at Stevens is bright.

This past weekend, I unexpectedly had to leave school for a family emergency. I had a ton of responsibilities that I needed to manage, but it was my family. 

I love all sorts of music but there will always be a special place in my heart for French music. Over the last few years, as I have expanded my music taste, French artists always seem to find their way into my queue.

I have always been a bit of a “romantic.” I love making gifts for my friends and family, and showing them special ways to say I love you.

Only a few weeks ago, the Stevens population returned for the spring semester. While most came back this semester to continue in their given program, many freshmen— myself included—came back to start a new program as in the past month, we switched our majors.

I never thought that I would be rushing a sorority… and yet I am. 

If there is anything I have learned since being here at Stevens, it’s that not everything is as you would expect.

And so it’s all wrapping up. My first semester is coming to a close. I feel the finals slump. I am so exhausted and worn out.

I hate cold showers. I remember every summer, racing my siblings back to the house from the pool, each trying to beat the other for the first shower.
