Real snow y’all came down from the sky on Monday. It was the first official snowfall of the season. The last one was really nothing. There were slippery slopes and sidewalks, frosty leaves and grass. But it made for a beautiful sight. I took tons of pictures of the first official snowfall and wanted to share them with you. (I…

Travel and Finals Blues
I am back on campus after Thanksgiving break. I had an awesome time at home but not such an awesome time on the way back. Traveling is interesting. College is the first time I traveled by myself without a family member or a travel buddy. It is fun exploring cities and figuring things out on your own. But taking the bus…
Thanksgiving and (Snow) is Here
If you are reading this post, I am home for Thanksgiving! I am excited to be home to see my family and friends and (of course) eat some good food. But this past week has been pretty good leading up to the big Turkey day. It snowed (!!) on Sunday night. There was barely anything on the ground but the…
Seeing a Comedy Show
Last week was a hard week for a lot of Wellesley students. The election results and the events after made a lot of students feel unsafe, disappointed and scared. The thing I love about Wellesley and, something I have seen in the last couple of days, is how strong the community is. Everyone was concerned with putting self-care above everything…
So Much Happening
This past week has been one very exciting. First off, I went to the MFA in Boston. If you know me, you know that I love museums. In high school, I worked at a local museum so I have a real appreciation for museums. The great thing about this is that I didn’t have to pay. The MFA gives college…
The President’s House
I went to the president’s house on Sunday! It was really cool. Her house is on the edge of campus and quite a walk from my dorm. However, it was still worth it. We spoke to her about what we love about Wellesley and what we hope can change/improve. What I really liked about her was that she was very willing…
First Concert at Wellesley
On Friday, I attended my first concert here at Wellesley as part of Fall Frenzy. The concert was a musician named Sampha ft. Kelsey Lu. Sampha’s a British producer, singer-songwriter, etc, who falls under the genres of soul and electronic music. I was not very familiar with his music (I am now) but I was still very excited for this concert.…
Friends and Family, Hosting a Prospie and Fall is HERE
Hi to all, I had an awesome time this weekend. It was Friends and Family/Homecoming Weekend. It was also Discover Wellesley Weekend. (Pretty busy I know). Although no one from my family came to visit, I still enjoyed the benefits of Friends and Family weekend, including the food. Harambee House, the place on campus that serves Wellesley students of African…
Katniss ain’t got nothing on me
I’ve been enjoying my classes at Wellesley, French, World Politics, etc. But my FAVORITE class is Archery. Yup, that’s right. Come to Wellesley and you could the next Katniss, or Merida or Allison from Teen Wolf or Lara Croft or Daryl from The Walking Dead and so one. What I am saying is all the cool and brave people in your favorite TV shows…
Hi! It’s Laïssa
Hello All, Let’s start with the simple things. My name is Laïssa Christelle Alexis (I insist on using my middle name. Think of it like one of those famous people. For example Neil Degrasse Tyson or Neil Patrick Harris, except my first name isn’t Neil). I am a first year from Orange, New Jersey but I went…
