Chelsea is a junior in MCC and minoring in CS and BEMT. Though she’s happy to be back home in California this semester, she misses the city dearly. When she is not in class you can find her constantly searching for a new series to watch even though she knows she’ll eventually come back to Grey’s Anatomy, dancing in her backyard, or making spring rolls. Find her on Instagram @chelseaa_li.
