Hello blog, and happy Monday! Today marks my first post of February, which is very exciting to think about. We’re only one week away from one of the year’s best holidays: Valentine’s Day! I was always a huge Valentine’s Day as a kid. When I was in elementary school, we used to call our classroom Valentine parties “Friendship…

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Wellesley is looking a little different today than it was last time I wrote: this weekend New England was hit by a blizzard and we got what I read was maybe sixteen inches of snow. Being from Iowa, this was much less of a big deal to me than it was to a lot…
Back to the Basics
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Even more importantly, happy spring semester! Today was the first day of classes here at Wellesley- FDOC, as the Wendies say- and it was a doozy. Our first week of classes is virtual this semester to accommodate the students who tested positive upon their return to Wellesley, which is a super awesome plan that…
Let It Be
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is a very important blog; this is my last blog of the semester!! Now, I know what you might be thinking: Andrew, didn’t you say you were on campus for another week? Why won’t you be blogging on the 22nd? Well, good people of the Blogosphere, I have good news and…
Lip Sync Champions and Other Snapshots from a Week Well-Lived
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This week has been crazy busy! Since I last wrote to you, I’ve been to a tree-lighting, gone Christmas shopping, played at Holiday Open Tower, and- drumroll, please- won Wellesley’s Fall 2021 Lip-Sync Competition! For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the event, Lip-Sync is a twice yearly competition held by Wellesley’s House…
“Is This Heaven?”
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Even more importantly, happy December! December is my absolute favorite time of the year. I’m a little bit Christmas-obsessed, and it’s totally my Grandma Terry’s fault: my birthday is December 20th, and when I was younger I would always go spend the weekend with her to celebrate my birthday. In elementary school I…
Home Again, Home Again
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today I’m writing you from Marion, Iowa, zip code 52302, where I am home for the holiday! On Monday night, my friend Emma and I pulled an all-nighter watching Anne of Avonlea, the four hour second installation in the 1985 Anne of Green Gables miniseries. At 3AM, we took an Uber to Logan…
Always Something to Celebrate
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This time next week, I will be writing to you from back home in Iowa, where I’ll be spending my November break. Five days of family, food, and rest sounds like exactly what I need right now, and I cannot wait. Before I can get to that, though, there are a few other things…
Planning Ahead
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a very eventful week; it seems like something is always happening at Wellesley, and while I do love that I never have to look far to be entertained, I’m definitely looking forward to the break we’ll be getting later on this month. I think it’ll be nice to have a few…
Staying Afloat
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been kind of a rough week for me, so this blog will be dedicated to some of the little things to celebrate since I last wrote. Anastasija’s Birthday! My good friend Anastasija turned 20 last Thursday, so the two of us ordered McDonalds for dinner that night, and on Saturday…
