Winding Down
The interesting part about coming back home after Thanksgiving Holiday is realizing how little school we have left. At the time of this post, it is December 6 and in a little less than 2 weeks, I will be back in my warm bed. The next 2 weeks are definitely “hustle” period. The time to, as every professor has told…
Declaring My Major
I am finally a college student! I officially declared my major as a Peace and Justice Studies Major with a concentration in International Human Rights. I finally feel like a legitimate college student because I have a purpose; something to shape my classes around. The best part about attending a liberal arts school is the majors and areas of study.…
bowl is life
This past weekend I went bowling with the program I volunteer with. I may have mentioned this program before but BRYE or Boston Refugee Youth Enrichment is the program that I volunteer with. We work with 2nd to 5th graders on Friday afternoons. We create a curriculum and teach the children a variety of subjects. Last time, my 4th graders…
Oh! Nostalgia
One of the many things I do here at Wellesley is serve on an e-board. An e-board (executive board) are the elected representatives of an organization. I am the historian for WCD (Wellesley for Caribbean Development). As the historian, my job is to dig up as much from WCD’s past as possible in order to create a detailed history report.…

This is a great way to relax and collect your thoughts. I often think my most interesting ideas while walking. one of my favorite places to walk around…
Classes! Classes! Classes!
This week, I thought I would take it back to the basics. Why am I at Wellesley College? The academics is one of the main reasons I chose here. The primary reason you are in college is to learn about the world and Wellesley has given me that opportunity beyond belief. In this post, I am going to list the…
I Guess You’re Interested in Seeing My Room
(I’m going to confess to you, I didn’t know which words to capitalize in the title. Hopefully, I did it right.) This week, I am going to show you bits of my room. I didn’t clean up when taking these photos, so this is my room in all of its glory. I like the way my room feels, I am…
Rest and Relaxation
College can be stressful. You have all these things to turn in on time, away from home, new people, and if you as unlucky as I was the first semester, and 8:30 class. *gasps* At Wellesley is where I came across the idea of self-care. Essentially taking care of yourself when you feel stressed out. Or doing so regularly to maintain a happy mind. The…
