Before you read what Jayden has to say, let me start by introducing her. Jayden and I went to boarding school together. I am always struck by her ability to back her words with action in environments which are heavy on “discourse” but lacking in doers. She might also be one of those rare people who you gain more respect for the more you spend time with them. She’s now a fourth-year undergraduate student at […]
James is one of my closest friends at NU and had one of the coolest summers out of everyone who posted on this blog – he spent two months studying Mandarin in Shanghai! I’ll let him tell you about what he learned. While being immersed, breathe deep I had the opportunity to spend two months living in Shanghai and take Chinese language classes at Fudan University. This was my first time in China, or any […]
Rafah is without a doubt one of the smartest people I know at Northwestern. She is one of those people you can always reach out for advice because it seems that they have an answer to every life problem! So I am lucky to have her talk a bit about her experience at Salesforce this summer. Let’s dive into it. Hi! I’m Rafah, one of Sid’s friends and classmates. I’m currently in Boston working […]

Unlike most of the other peer posts on Sid’s blog, I’m not going to talk about an internship, but I’d like to share with you all some lessons that I’ve learned over the first half of my summer. The first is that plans change. As someone who loves to have a concrete plan […]
First of all, I’d like to thank Aditya for writing this week’s article! Second, this post has lessons that permeate every single experience you will have. So read the post very carefully. Hello readers! My name is Aditya Nidmarti and I am a rising junior at Northwestern University majoring in economics and minoring in business and entrepreneurship.

As a reminder, I invite a friend to write about their experience this summer on Wednesdays. Hey all! My name is Zach Novicoff and I’m a rising junior at Northwestern, majoring in Economics, Philosophy, and minoring in Business. I’m from Overland Park, a suburb right outside of Kansas City (yes, on the Kansas side). This summer I’m staying in Evanston and working as an intern at the start-up “FanHome,” doing a bit of everything. […]
