Hi all, The best holiday of the year was just two days ago! Marathon Monday, famously coined as ‘MarMon,’ is a well-loved tradition and event that will forever be one of my favorite moments from my time at Wellesley. Every Patriots’ Day, which is the third Monday of April, the Boston Marathon takes place and is a wonderful celebration on…
Looking Ahead
I cannot believe the semester is almost over. We have two weeks left of classes before finals here at Wellesley! The Boston Marathon, called MarMon here, was this week, and I had a lot of fun cheering the runners on; we were blessed with super sunny weather too. Class registration is also this week, so I am preparing for that.…
Spring Weekend!!!
Hi everyone! April is a month of contradiction here at Wellesley — the weather is in the 70s one day, the next it’s snowing; there are a ton of social events and people having fun, and everyone is super stressed about deadlines and exams. Last week I was fully embraced by the rainy and stressful side of April. This week…
The Best Weekend of the Year.
Hi Blog, Get ready for a recap of the best weekend of the year – Spring Weekend! This is the weekend of the Boston Marathon, and the energy on campus is incredible. This year, the weather cleared up just in time. It may not have been the best conditions for runners… but it was sunny and warm all weekend for…
The Moon, Music, and Marathon Preparations
Hello Blog, It’s been a very exciting past week on campus! After some seasonally confusing sleet/snow last week, the groundhog seems to have finally wrangled the weather to be much nicer. We’ve had lots of sun recently! I keep seeing videos on social media about how colleges start to “college” when the weather gets nicer, and this couldn’t be more…
Realities of Being a Student
Happy April! April is my birthday month, and I am also excited that the month means that summer is getting closer. But, the reality of being a Wellesley student this month is that we are all currently swamped with work. I want to give an honest glimpse into my academics right now. My statistics class is taking up most of…
An exciting week on campus: Solar Eclipse and the Ruhlman Conference
Hey everyone! It has been a really eventful and exciting week on campus. On Monday we experienced a partial eclipse, which was really exciting. There was an event at our observatory where they were giving out special glasses to look at the sun. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that there were hundreds of people there, both Wellesley students,…
Junior Recital Loading… 🎶🤭
Hello Blog, As expected, I made it through the weekend! I cannot say I had the most exciting past few days because I was taking the exams I mentioned previously, but it’s all about balance. I spent most of spring break out and about, so it makes sense that I had a weekend with a bit heavier of a workload…
Take a Hike
Last Saturday, I had the awesome opportunity to go hiking off campus. The hiking trip was hosted by Wellesley College Recreation, part of the school’s Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics Department and organizer of outdoors trips like this. This trip was aimed at students who are beginner hikers. I learned about the event and quickly signed up online. I love…
Spring is in the air!
Hi everyone! I don’t know what it is about the week after spring break, but somehow it is always a really busy and tiring one. The campus just feels gloomier and quieter than normal. I personally like to blame it on the disrupted sleeping schedules. But the positive side is that since spring break ended, the semester is almost over…
