Opening Doors
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a week of a lot of things, as most weeks are. I think one of the best things about Wellesley is that there are always so many different things happening all at once, but sometimes that means you have to bury your head in the sand a little bit and stay…
A Fall Break to Remember
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day back from fall break here at Wellesley, and I am feeling very reenergized. Here’s a brief rundown of everything I did over my fall break: Saturday: Guild Field Trip!

Admitting Defeat
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a bit of a weird week for me. If you’ve read my last couple of blog posts, you probably know that I’ve been struggling with trying to do it all this semester, and in the past week that really caught up to me. If I were to go for a metaphor,…
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days

First Week Jitters
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day of classes here at Wellesley; I had my first French class this morning and this afternoon I will be attending my very first in person convocation ceremony, which I am very excited about.

Sophomore Year: Back in Action
Happy Wednesday everyone, and welcome to the Wellesley Student Blog! My name is Andrew (he/him), and I’m a sophomore here at Wellesley returning to the blog for my second year. For those of you who are returning readers, you might notice that the name and pronouns I use now are a little different from the ones you were used to…
The End (For Now)
Hello blog, and happy last blog of the year! This post is coming in late because I’ve been thinking about what I want to say for a week now and I’m still having trouble finding the right words. I thought for a little bit about just ending with last week’s post, but I think that a wrap up is…
