That’s right, we’re eight weeks into this beautiful blog and I’m finally following through with my promise to share why I chose Wellesley! My road to Wellesley was actually quite a long one; as a natural planner, I started researching colleges all the way back in middle school, trying to figure out where I wanted to go and what…

Pom is the Bomb!
Fall break is in full swing and it is just as relaxing as I’d planned and exciting as I’d hoped. Pretty much everything I’ve done this week has all centered around one beautiful, magical, fantastic place- my dorm, Pomeroy Hall! I’m not sure if this is something I’ve mentioned at all in my blog, but I happen to be…
First Term, The Finals Jam
And just like that it all flew by- I’m at the end of my first term at Wellesley! It still feels a little bit too early for any sort of personal reflection- I’ll save that for the ends of semesters and of years- but I do think it’s time for a little bit of looking back, and what better…
Learning to Think Economically
The birds are chirping, the grass is green, and the sun is rising on my first fall at Wellesley College! It feels both like I’ve been here forever and I just got here yesterday. As you might remember from my first post, I arrived at Wellesley very undecided on what I wanted to major in. This hasn’t changed a…
Oh The Places We Go

How can I expect you to know what it’s really…

I had always heard that at Wellesley College time moves at a different rate than normal time, but I don’t think I really understood what that…
First Month Blues
If there’s one thing no one has ever called living through a pandemic, it’s easy. Coping with the pandemic during a major life change- say, moving a thousand miles away to go to college- sometimes seems almost impossible. If you ask any Wellesley first year what their college experience has been like so far, they’ll probably all come up with…
A Very “Unprecedented” Beginning
Hello, future students of Wellesley College! My name is Andy, and I’m a first year here at Wellesley, hailing from the great state of Iowa (fellow Midwesterners, please make some noise in the comments). I currently have absolutely no idea what I want to major in, but I’m very excited to start exploring, and I’ll be sure to bring all…
