This weekend I went bowling! Yaye! Some of the women in an organization I'm a member of (Ethos, for women of African descent) went bowling with the high school girls that we mentor. First we went here: My nutty friends, right in their element. There were a LOT of Christmas decorations – really, really weird mechanical ones. That sort of…

Boys, boys, boys, boys…
In high school, I was the girl that you often caught with a group of guys – my besties from home are twin boys! So I couldn’t help but worry a little bit after I chose to go to an all women’s school. Ironically, a lot of my classmates are the same way. For someone who is used to…
When They Didn’t Say It Would Be Easy, They Meant It
You know the term “Full-Time Student”? My suggestion is that you take that seriously. This week, I went to a lunchtime workshop that featured a representative from the Pforzheimer Learning and Teaching Center (PLTC), which is a center for tutoring and educational enrichment in general here at Wellesley. Everything was going great until she informed us that we…
If you got money…and you know it…
I am sure that you have been told that the life of a college student is a broke one. That is absolutely true. However, I have yet to be in the red. Why? I have a part time job. I work ten hours a week at the campus center, doing typical restaurant-type stuff, like washing dishes and keeping the…
I was a kitty!
Soooo last weekend was Halloween…and we had fun! When I imagined what Halloween would be like in college, I thought one thing: PARTY. Now that's a not a totally flawed idea, but Halloween was a little different for my friends and me this year. We spend last week thinking of costumes, which is harder than it sounds. First I said…
You almost didn’t get to see this. :)
You almost didn’t get to see this because on Monday through Thursday, homework is my first priority – I’m not sure I would have lasted this long (about eight weeks) if it wasn’t. You almost didn’t get to see this because I put in a little time each weeknight at the campus center. You almost didn’t get…
To the Prospies!
Today is the beginning of Fall Open Campus! I’m with people just like you – young women who are trying to find out if Wellesley is the right school for them. It’s weird experiencing this from the “current student” perspective. I was a prospie just a few months ago! “Prospie” is Wellesley-speak for a prospective student, by the way. I…
Getting Around
Wellesley is a nice place to live, but many students will tell you that we like to get away to Cambridge and Boston. In my opinion, getting away is easier said than done. Now, many of my East Coast buddies are totally acclimated to public transportation. Subways, buses, trains – they’ve done it all. I, however, am from a…
Groups and Mentoring
I’m going to indulge in a stereotype here – if you’re the type of girl who is seriously considering Wellesley, you’re probably involved in some extracurricular activities at your high school. I definitely was – even if I wasn’t in a club, people assumed I was a member! I intended to take it easy on the extracurricular activities…
Allow Me to Introduce Myself
Hey ya'll! My name is Temple Price. I am a freshman – ahem, First Year from Little Rock, Arkansas. I like to read, I like to write, I like to watch movies and go out to eat, and I like the feeling that I get AFTER I work out. I love hanging out with my new Wellesley friends! They are…
