As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the transition back to living on campus hasn’t exactly been easy for me this semester. I’ve found myself being really unmotivated to get anything done and constantly waiting for the time in between classes, after homework and practice times and meetings are over and I can just lie in my bed and pretend my…

A Dynamic Duo
As I mentioned in my last post, this semester has been a lot different than the last for a couple reasons, one of the biggest being my block. Last semester, I had four blockmates, and as of right now it’s just me and Anastasija! Going from having a whole bunch of go-to people to just having one was a…
Back On Campus and Back In Business!
Well folks, it has been a wild three weeks back on campus following the beautiful two months I spent napping and watching Criminal Minds on my couch, and I’m just getting back into the swing of all things Wellesley College! I’m a little bit ashamed to admit this, but in these weeks on campus I somehow haven’t managed to…
One Down, Seven to Go!
I’m starting to write this on Monday, in hopes that the end product that pops up on your computer screens Thursday afternoon or late morning will somehow be an incredibly thoughtful and cohesive review of my first semester of college. The probability of that occurring is probably not very high, given how muddled with finals and packing and going and…
Just About Wrapped Up
Happy Thursday, dear readers! Today is going to be a great day; I don’t know how your morning went, but mine started with chocolate chip pancakes and bacon at Tower, which is always a great omen! We’re closely approaching the end of the semester here at Wellesley; we had our final HOCO on Tuesday, tomorrow is the last day…
Light the Lamp, Not the Rat!
This week’s blog title might sound a little bit like nonsense to you- although anyone familiar with The Muppet Christmas Carol, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, will surely get the reference- but this is one of many silly pieces of advice I’ve decided to take to heart this finals season. This year has been hard.…
Holiday Confusion
Every week, Thursday catches me by surprise; it seems like time is moving so much faster than I ever thought possible, and now there are only three weeks left until I’m on my way back home for the holidays! I love my time at Wellesley, but I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t looking forward to being…
Movin’ Right Along
According to my countdown app, today marks my 90th day on the Wellesley campus! It’s a little weird to think about that; ninety days ago I packed up all of my stuff from Hotel Wellesley and rode a bus for ten minutes to reach my home for the next four years. It definitely wasn’t the beginning I had imagined at…
Seeing the Brighter Side
This has been a week of everything and nothing all at once and I am quite glad to be almost at the end of it. The New York Times has now listed the Cedar Rapids metro area as the number one spot in the nation where coronavirus cases are rising the fastest and “Where There May Be Bad News…
What Kind of Week Has It Been
I don’t think I’m alone in saying this has been one of the longest weeks of my life, and it’s only Thursday. Whether it was being slammed with readings and responsibilities, bad news from back home, anything to do with COVID-19, or the looming storm cloud that has been the 2020 United States Presidential Election, I think any stressful thing…
