![]() ![]() Surprisingly, the best thing about my first year at Scripps was the 5C Roller Derby team! There is a big club fair at the beginning of the year for all students from all five colleges on a field at CMC. Just briefly, a few other things I did for fun included a camping trip to the beach through the outdoor club, I went to a concert in LA and another concert in San Diego, and going to brunch at the dining halls (which is open from about 10:30 to 1:30) was also a fun thing to do every weekend with my friends.ĥC Roller Derby Team at our game against Arizona State University I have many more of my derby team but outside of class most of my free time was spent skating for fun or at practice with my team. There is one of some of my teammates and I skating around campus for fun and another one is of my team at our game against Arizona State University. Another is my group for my orientation trip to Huntington Gardens. There is a picture of me and my parents when we were saying goodbye in the fall. I don’t take that many pictures but I’ve included a few from my year! Honestly almost all of my pictures this year are of me skating with friends. There are so many options, with seven dining halls to choose from, you can always find something you want to eat! The food in the dining halls is so good, that eating off campus isn’t necessary or even very desirable. Sometimes it is nice to go spend a Saturday at a coffee shop away from campus, or walk down for the local farmer’s market on Sunday. However, there are several places in the village (only a 15 or 20 minute walk) that are favorites of students. Scripps and the other colleges have plenty of places to get coffee or snacks, so I didn’t find much need to go off campus. I missed the seasons, but I came home enough for breaks that I got a taste of the Minnesota seasons and I enjoyed being able to study outside all year round. ![]() Studying for finals in December wearing shorts, studying beneath palm trees made it hard to believe a semester had already passed. It was a crazy transition from Minnesota to California weather. Of the 18 or so students in my class, I believe at least 12 were varsity athletes, which reflects the stronger emphasis on sports and school spirit at CMC than at Scripps. I liked the teacher and it was interesting to get a look into the students of CMC. I also took a Spanish class at CMC, mostly because it fits with my schedule. It is nice to have more science majors from the other schools to interact and take classes with. Being a science major, I took three classes through the Keck science department which Scripps shares with Claremont McKenna and Pitzer.
