My girl Wanda the betta fish (RIP) finally gets the obituary she deserves in the winter 2020 issue of Wellesley Magazine. Writing this piece for the Endnotes section was really fun. Well, as fun as writing about murdering your fish can be.

Thank you to Alice M. Hummer, Lisa Scanlon Mogolov, and Catherine Grace for publishing my essay!

Thank you to my first-year roommate and BFF Lee Hanae Ung for living through the experience and still being my friend!

RIP Wanda (2006-2007)
