While I have yet to officially decide my future career path, I have been leaning more and more towards becoming a neuroscience professor. I've known for a long time that I enjoy teaching others, but it wasn't until I came to Pomona that I realized teaching neuroscience was something I could really see myself making a career out of. When the opportunity came up to become a gen...

Geena Davis
In honor of International Women's Day, I thought it was appropriate to dedicate this post to the talk on the portrayal of women in the media I went to last night. Scripps College hosted Academy Award winning actor Geena Davis, who spoke about her experiences in the industry, the research of her institute (the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media), and the current state of g...

Performance
I’ve written about Presentations and Politics at Pomona, now it’s time for a little something about Performances.
I like performances. They’re different from presentations in that I find them to be more artful, while still making an intellectually stimulating point. Also, if they’re put on by students, (more…)

“Class Struggles at Pomona”
Today, I went to a discussion about class in the Women's Union.
Pomona has a lot of these types of things, but I really haven't taken the initiative to go to them. My spibling Catherine invited me to go with her, so I thought, Why not? Also free food.

SCAMFest!
Last night, the Claremont Shades hosted the 17th annual Southern California A Cappella Music Festival (SCAMFest) at Bridges Auditorium. Not only did it feature performances from eight 5-C A Cappella groups, but also from two groups from UCLA, "Bruin Harmony" and "Scattertones" as well as two from USC , "Reverse Osmosis" and "SoCal VoCals".
The performers sang to a sold out B...

Founders Day!
Hi! Sorry, I have been MIA for a while now. Getting sick during midterm season is not the best combination. However, I'm back now, and I wanted to write about my experience at Pomona's 125th anniversary.
This is my friend Danielle Davis (Pomona '15) and me enjoying ourselves. There was a carousel! I personally haven't ridden one of those in years. It was great to tempora...

My Identity Crisis
My friend said she had an identity crisis this summer when she realized how many pairs of pants she had come to own.
Our other friend judged her crisis to equal the ridiculousness of my own.
I beg to differ. (more…)

Return to the Classics
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m in the Pomona College Orchestra. Last night was our first rehearsal of the year, which was really quite exciting, (no, really, it was!) because orchestra here at Pomona is always a good time. (more…)

A Senior? Already?
In two weeks time, I will begin my senior year of college.
That just might be the scariest sentence I have ever written. Wait! I’m not ready to be a senior! Don’t you need a license for that or something? In ten years when I have my life all figured out (haha….ha….) this anxiety will probably seem ridiculous. And in truth I’m not thinking about it that much as I’m still...

Reminders of Pomona
I subscribe to Rolling Stone magazine. Earlier this month, I received my weekly copy. Interestingly enough, it got me really excited about my return to Pomona.
No, I wasn't excited because of Justin Bieber (but let's be honest, who can resist that sensitive stare?).
I was excited because it advertised an article about Batman by Jonathan Lethem. For those of you who do...
