hey! i'm mel, and where i'm from is complicated because i bounced around canada, iowa, and minnesota growing up, but i'd call myself a midwesterner. in any case, i'm great at dealing with cold weather.
i'm an avid fiber artist, believer in humanity, and proponent of whimsy. i like to make things with my hands and find joy in all corners of life.
in undergrad, i lived in east campus on fifth east (florey) with my cat coffee until senior year when it closed for renovations. i was a course 6-7 and spent a significant chunk of my time at MIT studying marine microbial communication. now, i'm an MEng student.
MIT has been a true rollercoaster. my experiences here, as well as all the amazing people i met, shaped me into the person i am today. i've been a blogger since my first semester, so my entire journey is documented here (some parts more than others). i hope that you can find whatever it is you're looking for in my posts -- whether it's insight into the MIT life, or reassurance that it's going to be okay. because it is.
