LAN 18.1.

First year at CTY, sadly. Met some wonderful people, including Anna Chaus, the most incredible roommate, Ashley Chung, Anushka Raina, Marco Ching, Jenny Klein, Anna Tran, Jacob Shaw, Krish Matta, Lindsey Russ, Joy Luo, Jordyn Flaherty, and many more. Had to move in a day early because of weird scheduling but literally just roamed F&M on my own for the day. Big thanks to the two first floor halls of North Ben and the wonderful quoteboard. Started the @ctylancaster instagram halfway through session 1. The account has since been passed on to other CTYers once I learned I was unable to return to LAN.1: Zelie Chowaiki and Deirdre Cuniffe so far.

Binge watched Queer Eye obsessively-- and pulled numerous all-nighters and ISOs. My nights without sleep (perhaps more than with) caught up to me when I had a series of intense nosebleeds and had to leave class to go to Lancaster General Hospital! Fun! Luckily, I then returned back to campus in a few hours, my nosebleeds cured. Big thanks to A class for putting up with my crazy antics.

Blammo: this year was my first and only year playing blammo. I was incredibly dedicated to this game, and made it to the final survivors-- I believe that there were 6 at the end? Whether or not I made it because I literally never put down my spoon or because I had a pretty select group of friends that I stuck with is still unclear. Also, it was my RA's first year and she would show us photos of our blammo targets. Still not sure if that was legal. Made ~8 or 9 kills but sadly did not win due to another CTYer with 10 kills.

CAR 19.2

This summer, I went on a NOLS course early in the summer and was not expecting to be able to attend CTY. Luckily, a gap in my summer arose, but I couldn't register in time for 1st session at F&M and had to register at Dickinson. Visited in early July and snuck into a 19.1 LAN dance that evening before joining the next day. Was initially going to join on the quad but then it started raining so had to sneak into Mauser which was, honestly, much more difficult. Big thanks to Marco Ching and Anna Chaus for helping.

Ironically, at CAR.2, I ran into the two people from LAN that I had not been in contact with. Despite being enrolled in the same course, we were not in the same class and thus were in different halls because I was a month younger. Thanks also to all the wonderful new people I met: Claire Yang, Zane Rasmussen, Blade Kalikow, Isaac Taylor, Vineel Nadakuditi, Brian Jung, and more. Big shoutout to the caf frozen yogurt, Asia's hall for winning hall wars, and my squirrel children. Much love to you all. You made my nomore year wonderful:)
