Oh. My. Goodness. It's May 5th. Where did April and March and February go? I feel as though I've been transported right back to September, what with the warm weather and blooming trees. But it's not September, it's May, and I'm reminded of this fact with the amount of work still present on my omnipresent multi-colored checklist. My senior friends…

You’ve Been Waitlisted. Now What? A Tale from a Former Waitlistee.
Although I write this in response to a certain commenter (thanks Michelle!), it's something that happened to me and something that will happen to a percentage of you all. What did I do when I was waitlisted at Wellesley, my dream school? I got in, as evidenced by this blog, but there was a substantial prequel to that wonderful, wonderful…
Wellesley’s an Ocean!
Yup. It's true. Because of the intense rain that was going on for the last three days, a mini sea has formed in what was previously known as Paramecium Pond. A group of ducks and a pair of Canada geese have taken up residence, swimming over what used to be the sidewalk heading into the ville, and diving for…
Spring Break: T-Minus 7 Days.
[a winter. a frozen lake. my sister. 🙂 ] First off, BC '10, here's a reply to your question about what the definition of 'likely' meant in terms of early eval and admission.. Ahh! I wish I knew! Honestly, I'm just a swells student, so I can't give a definitive answer on the implications. I know, I know, it's seriously…
Waiting, waiting, waiting!
Hey guys! Sorry about the bit of gap between posts. I've been sorting a lot of things out and now that most of them are in order, here I am! How has everyone been? I know that right now, regular decision people are just waiting for the letter from Wellesley that will make/break/bruise their dreams of coming here. When I…
Candy and Balloons, Oh My!
Today, I went to my animal behavior and psychological stats classes, had lunch with a former roommate, and headed to MIT for a (sort of impromptu but still dramatically staged) surprise birthday party for a MIT girl I just met and now consider a great friend. 🙂 It was a lot of fun and thus, the interesting photo below. It's…
Cold Cold Winter Snow.
Hi everybody! Hopefully the cool-off period after application submissions has set in, and you've gotten into the groove of the worrying senior, thinking and pondering over what in the world you're going to do and where you're going to be next fall! That's definitely a fun.. experience. I'm happy I'm done with that, though. On another note, my group's abstract…
An Expose into the Underworld of Wellesley Stress.
Today I'm going to be peering into a few dark corners with a flashlight, bringing (hopefully) into light the stress that makes Wellesley so frustrating yet enticing at the same time. First off, I just wanted to congratulate all you Regular Decisions applicants. Congratulations!! You have successfully pulled all your transcripts, rec letters, essays, supplements, and whathaveyou together for the…
It’s a Blizzard, The Fall Semester’s Over, and I’m Back!
Hello everyone! First off, I want to congratulate all you early-decision'ers that applied here and got in. Yay! Congratulations!! I know it was really tough to get all your material together and sent in on time, so I applaud you for that. And I hope I will meet a few of you next year! Finally, finally, finally, I finished my…
