my first impressions of yale

Image
  ☀  friends @ yale  ☀ One of the best parts of my stay at Yale, was the people. Not only did I meet and bonded with my classmates, but also there were so many Yale students and faculty we met and became instant besties with. Special mention to Aaron, Burton, Khalid, Abhi, and everyone else in these pictures. You guys are the best. I'll keep you updated -Alessandra

secret societies @ yale

                                      ☠   Secret Societies   ☠ [Shhh. This is a secret-not-so-secret blog post.] A few days ago, we went to visit some Secret Society buildings. They were surprisingly massive. Kind of like hiding in plain sight. We left some notes for two of the main ones at their doors since we couldn't enter (yet!). We are planning to one day be able to go inside one (or two, or three, or all of them if possible lol). We did actually go into a semi-secret society. Our tour guide, let's call him "Steven", for security purposes, gave us a tour of most of the place. We met him by just... asking everyone we met if they were in a secret society. Seriously. We made a ton of besties this way. Here are some pictures: (Obviously, I can't post everything , but I'll definitely give you a sneak peek) I'll keep you updated -Alessandra             ...

I especially loved this chandelier-looking light. I took a picture and decided to make a drawing of it! Here it is:                                                        I'll keep you updated.                                                                     -Alessandra

                                               ✿   my first impressions of Yale  ✿       ➳  I got to Yale on Sunday, July 17. It was very hot outside. Since I had my suitcases with me, I ordered an Uber to take me to "Berkeley College", which is the dorm I am currently staying at.  ➳   The people who helped me check in were very nice, and I took the Covid test they gave me. After it came out negative, I was led to my dorm. ➳   The dorms were nice, and even though I was expecting a roommate, I got a room for myself.  The bad thing about the dorm though is the heat. It is so hot inside. Mainly in summer.  ➳   Apart from that, the rest was great, and I went to buy my books for class in one of the beautiful libraries, and  eat some food. I felt at ease. In Mexico, where I'm from, I am not used to walking by m...
