Our Portfolio I've been in residence for the past four years and have experienced what it is like to be a first-year, a Soph, a Head Soph and a Residence Don. All these experiences have culminated in me being the person that I am today, and for that, I'll be forever grateful. If I could go back, I would tell my first-year self to try new things, talk to new people, always expand your horizons and never be afraid to put yourself out there. The experiences and people that you meet become the stories that you talk about for years to come. - Sairam G.
