As I'm writing this, I'm sitting in the campus center with my friends while we browse shopping websites for our graduation dresses.
I remember sitting in this same exact space almost four years ago, when the tables were not so close together, and where I would look out onto barren streets, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It's quite crazy to think about how much has changed in four years.
Thinking about my future life after Harvard is difficult. Over the last four years, Harvard has felt like an integral part of me—so much so that my identity seemed intertwined with its own. But now, it's time to separate myself from this school and establish my own self.
Looking back, this place has given me so many amazing opportunities. I will always remember this small campus along the Charles River as my home where I spent the busiest four years of my life. And now, I look forward to embracing the unknown for the next four years.
Below, feel free to take a glimpse into my time at Harvard, the people I met, and the memories I made.
And a huge congrats to my fellow Class of 2024'ers! We did it!
If it weren't for Harvard, I wouldn't have...
...started running!
...celebrated Thanksgiving away from my family for the first time!
...attended some amazing formals and danced the night away!
...participated in Housing Day, one of the best Harvard traditions where upperclassmen students storm the first-year dorms and announce where they'll be living for the next three years!
...celebrated my birthday away from my family for the first time!
...found a family with Primus, the first-gen group on campus!
And finally, I wouldn't have had the chance to work with an amazing group of students to support first-generation students at Harvard.
Here I posed with my new team to celebrate our victory in my first game of flag football. I even taught the team how to sign "K" for Kirkland House in ASL
