Coming back from a wonderful semester abroad and a summer spent reconnecting with loved ones, I revel in the memories through food. A set of stamped, steamed buns from a solo trip in Londonโ€™s Chinatown; the late-night snack of homemade spam musubi during a sleepover; the vibrant mochi donuts eaten on the streets of New York Cityโ€™s Koreatown; the countless video recipes my friends and I send to each other, making up scenarios in our heads where weโ€™re all ultra-rich adults with endless time on our hands to try them all.


Michela Brittis-Tannenbaum (she/her) โ€˜25 is a senior majoring in Architecture and Environment, Sustainability, and Policy. Sheโ€™s discovered a love for fashion, cooking and baking, and taking long walks, and can be found constantly listening to some sort of music or video. Sheโ€™s always enjoyed creative ventures as an outlet and reprieve from everyday life, exploring different mediums over the years (although sheโ€™ll always come back to drawing and photography), and hopes itโ€™ll follow her for years to come.
