Blog Post #1: Helen Lu

Hi I’m Helen! Here’s a bit about myself in 8 pictures: http://slide.ly/view/0eea7dd2c31eec586c91774e4628db58

I was born in the city and live with my parents and my older sister, who I’m pretty close with despite our nine-year age gap. We hang out pretty often and I see her as both a mentor and a great friend. As much as I value my close relationship with her, I also value friendship, which explains the picture of the whole group of people in red. It was taken last year on the first day of Senior Spork Day, a spring tradition in my high school for the graduating seniors. The next picture was taken last year when I was a part of the Varsity Bowling team- there’s me front and center. I’ve grown closer to my teammates and we still try to go bowling together over the weekends along with members from the guys’ team whenever possible.

I can’t say that I miss high school, but Astronomy was definitely one of the most interesting and laid back classes that I had taken during my last four years. Instead of including a boring picture of planets, here’s a selfie with my teacher!!

In my spare time, I’m usually on the hunt for food places, and I definitely have a big sweet tooth. Martha’s is a cozy spot for drinks and cake, guys! There’s a picture of myself outside of Michael’s; it’s my go-to place when I need to go arts and crafts shopping. I drag my friends there with me pretty often to grab art supplies or whatever else I need. There’s a new one on 23rd I think! I’m a sucker for art projects and things like that.

Traveling is probably one of my favorite things to do! I usually visit both China and Los Angeles once a year, so here’s a picture of some In-N-Out from Cali, which they should definitely consider having in New York, and pictures I took during a sunset in China.
