Yeah… Skydiving in Boston. 10/10 btw. I wish I was able to include more pictures of that experience however most of them have other people’s faces (can’t be exposing people without asking!). Although skydiving was probably the highlight of this trip - Boston itself was very different than the other cities I’ve visited. It was more of a historical-colonial type of city, something I could definitely appreciate since many of the other cities I’ve visited have leaned toward modernity (not a bad thing, just different).
Visiting MIT and Harvard kind of evoked feelings of imposter syndrome that I didn’t think would be there. Isn’t that crazy?
Walking through campuses that have hosted some of the brightest minds in history can definitely mess with your confidence, and I knew that going in. It’s hard not to compare my own achievements to the seemingly untouchable success tied to places like this. With the ivy-covered buildings and cutting-edge labs, the whole vibe is so impressive, it lowkey made me feel out of place—even if I was just there to explore.
Besides my own weird imposter syndrome feelings, the campuses were incredible. I didn’t go inside any of these buildings, but even just peering into the cancer institute at MIT felt like another universe.
