The past few months of life have absolutely flown by, and I can’t believe my first two semesters of college have already come to a close. Looking back, I have created countless positive memories with friends that make my experience so much more robust. In chronological order, here are some of my favorite moments captured in my camera roll.
During Orientation week, my First-Year Mentor took our group to The Charmery in Hampden for ice cream!Toward the end of the fall semester, my training class for A Place to Talk (APTT), a peer-listening service on campus, went to Miracle on 34th to see the lights and spend quality time with each other.My friend Madelyn and I spent a few hours in a practice room in AMR II, one of our first-year residence halls, to play music!At the beginning of each semester, APTT hosts an outreach event called Cookies and Tea. I helped out this spring semester and it was so much fun to hang out with such lovely people.At the beginning of each spring semester, Hopkins puts up a free ice rink for students and affiliates. As a member of the Hopkins Figure Skating Club, I got to give lessons to the Hopkins and Baltimore community!The Hopkins Swim Club is another organization I am involved with. To close off a great competition season, we had a water polo practice day—one of my favorite activities with a team of fun people!APTT hosted a Squishmallow giveaway about halfway through the spring semester this year. It was so much fun to talk to the Hopkins community about our organization, which is a mental health resource that not many people know is offered!My German professor took our class to the opening night of “Mary Stuart,” a play written by German playwright Friedrich Schiller. It was performed by Baltimore’s Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.To cap off our spring classes, a group of friends and I went to a Candlelight Concert, a world series of instrumental concerts, hosted at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
