Two weeks ago, I went to the New York botanical garden to experience the glory of the train show. Unfortunately, the show’s highlight wasn’t the trains but the model buildings blended into the surrounding plants. Needless to say, I was disappointed by the naming, but hey, it was still a
Spring break has passed. After finally getting some time for myself I realized I should start writing more. So I’m going to write 30 articles in the 30 days of April about something I know pretty well… MIT. There are many things that I want to rant or remember about

The great break finally happened. I was so happy. I could finally relax, without the stress of school and GPA all that stupid stuff school has to offer. But without the ordering strict schedule of school, it was a pretty hectic ride. usually during the school day, things prompted me
