Greetings my lovely readers! This past Saturday was one for the books because……your girl officially turned 21!!! 🥳 Honestly, I still can’t believe it — part of me feels like very grown lmaoo, while the other part of me still wants to be in bed watching Netflix instead of being a real adult. Mind you guys I have literally been…
Music, Museums, and Matcha: A Week in my London Life
Hello, Blog! I’ve had another great week, so much so that I’ve barely even felt the annual post-Halloween depression I’ve come to expect after the decorations go away and the candy goes back to regular packaging. This could also be due to the fact that I’m still carrying out my Fall Watchlist and the mountain of Halloween movies I still…
Good food, interesting science
I feel like something most college students across the country would agree on is that good food in college tastes even better when it’s also free. There’s just nothing like being offered free food at events. This past week, my friends, most of whom are from similar-ish cultural backgrounds as me, and I had an event through Wellesley’s Orthodox Christian…
Senior Year Goal: Attend More Talks
Hi Blog Readers! If you did not know, I am a senior. 😿 I cannot believe how quickly four years have gone by. As I am into my senior year, I am thinking about what I want to do before I graduate. One of my goals has been to attend more talks on campus, and I wanted to write about…
Halloween in Hampstead
Hello, Blog! I can’t believe we’re already nearly halfway through November! You know what they say: time flies when you’re in another country. This was another special week because I got to spend some more time with my friend from Wellesley, Adriana! She’s currently studying in Bath and took the train over so I could show her a little around…
Post-Halloween Blues
Hi everyone! Halloween is over, and now we are entering the long stretch before Thanksgiving break. Nay (negative yay!) for that! But Halloween itself was very fun. My friends and I dressed up for some on-campus trick or treating (I was a witch), and we got a lot of great snacks (my favorite ones were from the President’s house, and…
Feeling 22 (Tapas Edition)
Greetings my lovely readers! I hope y’all are feeling rejuvenated and had a chill week so far…. Mine has been kinda hectic, not gonna lie. So technically, I have actually only had 4 days of the week since we had our annual Tanner Conference that we have every year, and classes were cancelled for it. It was a really great…
My MIT Class
Hi Blog Readers, today I am writing about a frequently-asked question—what is it like taking MIT classes? This semester, I am cross-registering to take an MIT course about entrepreneurship. (This is my third time cross-registering at MIT—read my posts from sophomore and junior year about cross-registering!) This class is insanely cool—we are placed into groups and paired up with a…
Pubs and the Theatre: An Authentic London Experience
Hello, Blog! I am glad to say I have spent another week eating good food and seeing what London has to offer. Here’s what I got up to! In an effort to continue my London initiation, my flatmates took me out to a British pub called J.D. Wetherspoons, commonly known as “Spoons,” where we enjoyed drinks and delicious chocolate fudge…
Goodbye October!
Hi everyone! Fall in Wellesley is an amazing time: the trees are full of color, the leaves are gorgeous, it’s not yet cold, and the animals are constantly moving around (I especially love the squirrels running everywhere). It is also exam season, which can bring down the mood a little, but hey, all in all, the fall season is one…
