Pilot | Thought Daughters

By Elyanna Kwok and Ava Ferriero October 27, 2025
Welcome to Thought Daughters, where we’ll document our thoughts and feelings about growing up in real time. As a freshman and a transfer, we’re both learning to exist as new versions of ourselves. We’re figuring out friendship, independence, identity and how to make this city and university feel like home.

We hope you join us and enjoy this adventure.
