Happy Thursday! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! I’m a bit behind on posts, so you’ll be hearing about the second part of my 4th of July next weekend (stay tuned – the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Boston Harbor Islands were definitely sights to see!).

The Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning
Welcome back! As promised, I’ll dive right in today and talk about more of my summer. As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I’m participating in the Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning. So…what exactly is this fancy schmancy program?

My Week is Booked: My Summer Reading
Greetings! Week two of my internship has been a lot of reading, and I think I’m slowly adjusting to the workplace. As part of my first month tasks, I have to read four books.

Reflections on Sophomore Year
Hello hello, Here’s to the last hellos of sophomore year. Honestly, I’ve been putting this post off for a while now.

But coming out of it, I’ve realized…

Hidden Gems at Wellesley: Cooking Nights!
Hello hello! I don’t normally post on the weekends, but today I wanted to talk about one of Wellesley’s most underrated features (in my opinion): cooking nights! I attended my first ever cooking night last semester, and ever since then, I’ve kept my eye out for more. I remember the first time I showed up so nervous, because I didn’t…
The Babson, Olin, Wellesley Collaboration
Hello hello! Happy Thursday everybody! Today I wanted to talk about the Babson, Olin, Wellesley (BOW) collaboration. All three colleges are located in the town of Wellesley, MA – Babson and Olin are short 10 minute drive away from Wellesley. Free shuttles are running between the colleges constantly, whether students want to take classes at the other colleges, participate in…
Weekend Updates
Hello hello! This past weekend was crazy busy: a NYC trip, MarMon (Boston marathon Monday!), warm weather, and much more. Campus is bursting with Spring colors right now – flowers and trees are blooming everywhere! My particular favorite is the tree outside Caz and Pom, in the Quad. It’s quite a popular tree (there have been many instagram posts), and…
