Last Saturday, I lost "Brittany." She was 35-years-old. Hundreds of posters depicting Brittany's beautiful frame were plastered on polls all over New York City, while social media sites like Twitter, Instagram and Reddit buzzed about her whereabouts. Brittany even became the center of conversation among my friends. All day long, I waited impatiently for my phone to ring. Every hour of the day, I waited tirelessly for someone to tell me that they had found Brittany. Days went by, but still nothing. Although I could not handle the truth that I had lost her, I had to get a grip on the reality that I would never see Brittany again. Then, exactly a week later, my phone rang. I had found Brittany.

Day 3 / Even though the Charles River is still frozen and the sunshine ☀ in the morning was temporary, I appreciate being able to take out my bike for a ride on this "warm" 47-degree weather 🚴 #100happydays #boston #citgo

Day 2 / Despite my hectic schedule (five consecutive hours of class today!), I managed to catch the live performance of Yuna Kim, arguably the most talented figure skater in the world, at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. I can’t imagine the tremendous pressure she is under, and am so proud of her for this elegant performance. Bring home another Gold for South Korea, #YunaKim! #100happydays #sochi2014 #Olympics

Day 348 (3:40pm)-The trip back to the U.S. after a relaxing week in Mexico was a bit rough, with the plane being delayed for nearly two hours because one of the passengers, who recently had an eye surgery, had a horrible incident in which his eyes...popped? Yikes.

Day 347 (7:45pm)-The restaurant was pitch black sans the little candles on the table, but thankfully, the menu was lit!

Day 347 (1:20pm)-We found a glimpse of "home" right here in Cabo. Just in case you didn't realize, we attend HarBard, not HarVard. Well, at least for this week ;)

Day 346 (5:30pm)-We came to an artsy district in Los Cabos for dinner. I loved all the colorful walls. Indeed, just walking along the streets was like seeing an art in its purest form.

Day 346 (11:40am)-Escargot for lunch, anyone?

Day 345 (11:10am)-Another day of adventure in Cabo, this time ATV riding! Everything looks serene and exciting, but a careful observation shows an ATV in the back that has flipped. Yes, that is me, indeed. Luckily, the cushiony sand protected me!

Day 344 (9:15pm)-Toasting marshmallow in the campfire...it brings back so many good memories of childhood!

Day 343 (4:10pm)-The idea of horseback riding by the beach sounded relaxing, but it was perhaps the most painful two hours of my life. The saddle was extremely uncomfortable, so I had multiple bruises on my legs and my bottom. The sun was scorching, so I felt extremely dehydrated and exhausted. Finally, my horse was pretty volatile and ran into tree branches several times, so I scraped my shoulder and knees. Never again...

Day 342 (6:05pm)-When Americans think of Mexican food, most people conjure up images of burritos, enchiladas, or tacos. However, real Mexican food features a lot of seafood and red meat, as demonstrated by this waiter, who is showing us the freshest "catch" of the day.

Day 341 (2:40pm)-Welcome to Los Cabos! After 7 hours in the air, I landed in the warm land of Mexico, where the temperature rose from 80 degrees compared to New York's dismal 40 degrees. I am ready for a week of relaxation and fun adventure in Cabo! Here is to Spring Break 2013.

Day 340 (7:15pm)-I had a mandatory Korean food for dinner in NYC. The table was full of Korean BBQ and different banchans, or side dishes. I wish Boston had good Korean restaurants, too.

Day 338 (10:30am)-From Harvard Yard to Annenberg, upperclassmen students welcomed the freshmen to their respective Houses on Housing Day. This annual event is an opportunity for students to show off their House spirit and bond together as a community.

Day 335 (2:20pm)-This semester at Harvard, I am taking a class called "Chocolate, Culture, and Politics of Food,"or what most people have affectionately dubbed, "The Chocolate Class." The best part? Probably the  occasional chocolate sampling in class, like this cup of goodness featuring Cadbury milk chocolate, chocolate eggs, and Ghirardelli dark chocolate!
