WZLY is Wellesley College’s student-run radio station. Students have shows on the station where they play music or have interviews. After a semester of interning, each intern can get their own show. There are tons of DJ’s on board and they play all types of music. It’s a great group of people to be with. I spent last semester interning…

Visit to Haystack
My ASTRO physics class recently took a trip to the Haystack Observatory. The trip was on a Saturday, so my class of about 8 people and my professor piled into a Wellesley van and drove there. On the way there and back, we talked about black holes, dark matter (which is what our class is focused on) and the possibility…
WiCkeD Fun
You may be a little thrown off by the title of this post, but I will explain. WCD or Wellesley for Caribbean Development is one of my favorite groups at Wellesley. WCD is an organization for people from the Caribbean or who are interested in the Caribbean to meet and talk about the region. A lot of the members are…
Fun times
Some cool events happened since the last time I wrote. First, we had an awesome comedian come to Wellesley. Sasheer Zamata! She came as part of Black History Month. I had a bit of a hand in her coming. As Ethos, comedy appreciation chair, it is my job to make Ethos members laugh. One of my missions, once I got…
Snow Day!!
Last week I had my first snow day in college. Wellesley rarely has snow days so this one was special. People were dancing and singing in the hallways on the day of the announcement. (I was too.) Wellesley looks like a Winter Wonderland right now. The trees are being weighed down with snow so they look like canopies in the…
New Perspectives
I titled this post new perspective for a number of reasons. My classes have been offering an enlighting experience. I am genuinely learning new things and learning to think in new ways. One the things I love about Wellesley is all the information that is available. Right now in my Peace and Justice class, we are discussing the concept of violence in…
Second Time Around
As I settle back into life at Wellesley, I am starting to feel like a little bit of an expert. I know how to get around Wellesley and the Boston area. I am a certified Wellesley student. I went to see a taping of the podcast 2 Dope Queens with Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson (one of my favorite podcast) at…
Back for the Spring
I am back! After a very nice vacation from Wellesley, I am happy to be back and start my second semester. I am really excited for this semester. I want to see how much I grow and learn and I’m taking some really interesting courses. I am particularly excited about the Intro to Peace and Justice course as well as…
End of Semester and looking forward
Before finals week there is a reading period to sort of study before finals. There were tons of study breaks and stress-free environment to try to make Wellesley as calm as possible. We had Moonlight Breakfast in the dining halls (which was probably my favorite part). All of your favorite breakfast foods all at 10 pm. And at 12 am,…
Last Day of Class
I officially ended my first semester in college. Whoah. I never thought I would be here. I would like to thank all those who came before me. In addition to being the last day of class, a lot of other cool things happened this past week. I had my last day of Archery and our instructor brought us gifts and…
