Hi Reed,<\/p>\n

My name is Mara, and I’ll be writing blog posts through Summer 2k15 and into the next school year! I’m going to be a Senior biology major, which is a daunting thing to be able to say out loud. I’ve been an HA for a year and a summer, and look forward to being in the Grove next year.<\/p>\n

Snowball fights on the way to class! I’m from south-bay CA, so the first “snowpocalypse” in 2014 at Reed was bewildering.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0I enjoy the finer things in life: Firefly marathons, petting neighborhood cats, playing Borderlands and League of Legends, and hiking in the Gorge. There are many pieces of advice I’d give new students, but the one piece I want to share most is don’t take the Reed Canyon <\/a>for granted.\u00a0<\/b>It’s so easy to be set on auto-pilot: roll out of bed, grab coffee and bagel, trundle to class, sit down in class and gradually wake up…
\nWalking through the Canyon can energize your whole day\u00a0 \":mrgreen:\" <\/span><\/p>\n

In my time at Reed, I’ve joined the lovely team of House Advisors, I’ve been a member of the Herodotones<\/a> and Antigonotes<\/a> (the a Capella choir!), I’ve performed in a rock band at Renn Fayre, I’ve made valuable mistakes, and I’ve met the most lovely people that I am honored every day to call my friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My first real Autumn, maple leaves and all.<\/p><\/div>\n

Feel free to message with comments and questions. I’ll be seeing you on the Res Life blog, Facebook page, and Twitter, so check back for more!<\/p>\n
