Five things I did this week, here in Denmark: I didn’t have class last Wednesday, of all things, so I tried to go to an art museum that didn’t exist. Well, it did exist but not at the place where CityMapper, my trusty navigation app promised. I tried to walk there on a dodgy ankle but ended up in front…

Live from the Royal Danish Academy of Music!
There’s a Mozart concerto is floating above my head. Quite literally, I’m sitting in the library of the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where I’m taking two classes this semester. Some violinist is playing Mozart 5 and it’s sparkling and everything, weaving its ways through the walls above. The librarian is speaking in rapid Danish. I cannot make out a…
Hej! Greetings from Denmark
Greetings from Copenhagen! Wow, I can’t believe I’m already here…across the Atlantic Ocean from family and friends but in a beautiful new place. This isn’t going to be a long post, mostly because I’m still getting my bearings here and fighting off jet lag. My body is telling me to nap right now, but my mind is telling me no…you’d…
Adulting Adventures
It’s the day after Christmas, and I just got back from the dentist. My life since returning home from Wellesley seems to be full of an awful lot of “adult” moments these days. I’ve only been home four days, but I’ve already been to the doctor, dentist, gotten my cracked phone fixed, learned first hand about credit history, and gotten…
The Final Finals, and what’s next
It’s towards the latter days of finals period, and campus has already started to empty out for the holidays. Watching my friends leave is always difficult, made worse by the fact that as I’m going abroad, I won’t see them for months. It isn’t made better by the fact that while they’re snapchatting reunions with their dogs, I’m mostly stuck…
Hellos, and semester’s close
First off, a warm Wellesley Welcome to all our new sibs of the class of 2021 (!!!!!) who just found out their Early Decision results! We’re so excited to meet you, and we’re looking forward to all the energy and passion the new Green class will be bringing to campus. Take some time to celebrate this achievement and enjoy the…
Monday, Through Music
I woke up this morning to a Wellesley wonderland- snow! Somehow, it’s already December, and winter has decided to make its official entrance. You would think, as somebody who’s lived on the East Coast my whole life, I would be prepared for the winter onslaught each year…but somehow I feel caught off guard each year by the first snowfall. Still,…
The Calm Before the (Finals) Storm
Hello again dear readers! I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving holiday and are easing yourselves gently back into work this Monday. For Thanksgiving, I took my beloved Northeast Regional train back home. There was a particularly beautiful sunset along the New England coast that afternoon, made even more poignant by the fact that I was listening to…
Statistics, Supermoon
Well, this blog tonight is coming to you from a brain that has been doing statistics nearly the entire day. That means a tired brain, a brain that feels like mush, a brain that feels more like a t-distribution than a normal one. Statistics jokes. I have an Econ Stats midterm tomorrow, in case you couldn’t tell. I went in…
With Her
Twas the night before the election…I’m currently lying on my bed, my bed in Hillary Clinton’s old dorm Stone Davis. Tomorrow, the woman who once walked through these same walls surrounding me at this moment may become the first female president of the United States. I’m not the most adept or comfortable at talking about politics, besides agreeing generally with her…
