One month in to the first semester and I’m already so busy to the point that I’m writing this post (which should have been published hours ago) at midnight, as a break between Bio homework and Spanish homework. (view from my dorm on the fifth floor of Tower… yea, I get to see this every night.) Wellesley, you overwhelm me.…

Spring Week is (too much) fun.
Can you believe this? We’re almost done with April. That means my first year at Wellesley is coming to an end (and so is your last year of high school.. whaaat)… And what better way to end the year than by being outdoors in the beautiful sun enjoying all this campus has to offer when the weather is nice. SLATER…
A Year Later – Advice to Me
Spring at Wellesley = bipolar weather + prospies on campus + more smiles + more work. I was wearing summer clothes a few days ago, and last night I had to break out my winter coat again because it was 8 degrees one night, then 0 degrees (celsius) the next. (I seriously need to learn to charge my phone. also…
Benefits of Wellesley, and why I love college
Hellooooooooo Today is a beautiful day. I’m not kidding, the weather is AMAZING. The best it’s been all year. I am currently sitting in the open lawn area on Tower Court facing Lake Waban. I LOVE this view. I wish I could post a picture but my phone is acting up and wont let me take any photos. Let’s just say…
Decision Making: my experience as an International Student
*****^_^*Spring is here~~~!!*^_^**** Congratulations to all of you who received some great news last week. LONG (but hopefully helpful) post to follow: be warned. I remember last year on March 21st, I got up at 5:30am and refreshed the MyWellesley page for half an hour straight until I saw the letters “Congra—“. Getting ready for school after that was the…
Wellesley STOP SNOWING PLEASE
A week from now I will be in sunny California. That’s the thought that got me out of bed this morning when I saw this: yay snow? nay snow. Snow, again, of course. We had enjoyed such beautiful spring weather this past weekend I honestly (and foolishly) thought things (the temperature and my mood) were going up. but nope! The…
TEDxWellesley
Last Last Saturday, February 22nd, was the day of the long-awaited TEDxWellesleyCollege conference! The theme of this conference was “consilience”: the idea of skills and knowledge from different disciplines converging together to create something new. I was able to attend Session Four of the talks entitled Re:defining boundaries. The three speakers were George Hart, Arlene Blum, and Story Musgrave. All…
Japan Club presents: Yuki Matsuri 2014
I just had an insanely busy weekend. It was a long one too, with Presidents’ Day, but I could’ve used another day off. It’s Wednesday and I’m feeling very sleep deprived. BUT, it was worth it because Saturday, Japan Club (of which I am on the executive board) hosted our annual “Snow Festival” event. As a member of the e-board,…
Naked Men on Campus and Why I (Don’t) Care
Yep, he’s really here. (a few additions have been made to the Sleepwalker Statue since Monday) So I’m sure most of you have seen or heard about the statue of the semi-nude man that’s taken residence on campus. On Tuesday, I was walking back to my dorm from the Science Center and did a double take when I saw a…
Back!!
…and just like that, we’re back. Back at Wellesley where the sky is blue and professors are ready for you with their syllabi and readings. Hi there. It’s been a while. It’s been five weeks. The day I finished my final exam back in December, I packed up my things and by the following afternoon I was on a plane…
