This weekend, I visited the New England Aquarium in Boston. Before I went, I used my Wellesley free library card to get my ticket for half off. To get there, I took the commuter rail from Wellesley Square, which was about a ten minute bike ride from my dorm. At the aquarium, I first went to the shark and ray…

I was in the 212.
Greetings Bloggies. This is Avery reporting back from New York. I have not procured enough words in the English language to describe how amazing this trip was, so I’ll describe it through the vibe of one of my current favorite song instead. This is actually my third time ever in New York. The first time I went was actually on…
#First_Time_Biking
I hope you all are doing well, especially as the start of the school year approaches. If you remember my third blog post, I talked about my goals. A random goal I’ve had for a while, and one that is completely unrelated to academics, is to learn how to ride a bike. Because I’ve always had a fear of falling,…

#Checking_In
Hi everybody! I hope you’re all doing well. It’s been starting to cool down in Wellesley, so giving tours around campus hasn’t been nearly as painful as last week.

STEM (classes I’ve taken) at Wellesley
Fall: Quantitative Reasoning (QR 140) with 20 people I took this class because I didn’t pass the quantitative reasoning test. As detailed in our website for QR, “Quantitative reasoning is required in virtually all academic fields, is used in most every profession, and is necessary for decision-making in everyday life. The Quantitative Reasoning Program is designed to ensure that Wellesley…

Summer life at Wellesley :)
During the summer, I’m working for the admission office as an Admission Summer Intern (ASI), which is really fun 🙂 I love the people at the office! My supervisors, my fellow ASIs, and I went candlepin bowling once, which is like normal bowling but with smaller balls and pins, (it’s, apparently, a New England thing). But what I especially LOVE…
#a_fun_ASI_outing
Hi again! The Admission Summer Interns (and Mariam’s friend who was so lovely and funny) took a trip to downtown Boston and had a relaxing picnic at Boston Common, the oldest park in the nation! We had a ton of Trader Joe’s goodies and a ton of fun, too. This ASI outing was probably one of the best memories I’ve…
Mara’s First Blog!
Hi all! My name is Mara (she/they), and I’m an international student from Paraguay, in South America, aka your local Latina friend ;). I’m part of the purple class (’26), and I’m also a prospective neuroscience major—so very excited to talk about science at Wellesley and what not! Before Wellesley, I had never been to the United States before, so…
