Weekend Out With Friends

Meet the creator
Hello! My name is Janane Vasudevan (she/her/hers), and I originally am from Theni, India. I moved to New York in fall 2021 for my master’s degree in Media Management at the Schools of Public Engagement at The New School. I've had an amazing time living here, meeting a wide range of people—thanks to the diverse student body—and making so many memories to cherish and look back upon! Two of my favorite things to do on any given day is to buy an iced americano and browse through bookstores near school!
