My first day of college began rainy and overcast and the last day of my first year of college ended that way as well. Today was my last day of classes, next week is final exams, and then I’m done with my first year at Wellesley. Tomorrow is the LDOC (last day of classes) concert and the band Muna is…

School Year Winding Down
This week one year ago, I visited Wellesley for the first time. I’d applied here early decision two without visiting and I probably didn’t know how to spell Massachusetts. I remember thinking campus was peaceful, beautiful, and I was excited to envision myself here. And now it’s been a year and so much has happened! I seriously cannot believe a…
Spring Weekend
Happy Friday! This past weekend was very fun and hectic. First of all, my cousin visited and stayed with me. On Friday night, my cousin and I went to Newbury Street for dinner. Newbury is an area in Boston with trendy restaurants, cafes, clothing stores, etc. The loco, our school bus shuttle, drops us off right next to Newbury. On…
Busy Saturday
This week’s weather has been SO nice. The sun’s been out, temperature has been in the 70-80s, and people are actually smiling! I want to write about last Saturday. My Saturday started off in Clapp Library. I went to one of the library’s private study rooms and attended a Zoom meeting for a mentorship program that I’m participating in. After…
Spring Break and Updates
Happy April! I’m back on campus after spring break and school’s been busy. This week, I’ve been studying for Chinese and Econ tests. I also have to revise a paper for my first year writing class. If you don’t know what that class is, every Wellesley first year has to take a writing class in their fall or spring semester.…
Moments
Instead of a full rundown, today I want to share specific moments in a regular day of classes. 8:50am: This is when I get out of bed after my twentieth alarm goes off. After I get up, I make my bed. Then, I take my little shower caddy with my toothbrush and toothpaste and go to the communal bathroom to…
Favorite Spots on Campus
Happy Friday! Today, I want to write about some of my favorite spots on the Wellesley College campus. I’ve mentioned places I like working at, like Clapp Library and the Jewett Art Library. I want to elaborate and add more general spots on campus I enjoy. Behind the Lulu student center, there are some paths that lead to Lake Waban.…
What a Wellesley Student Eats in a Day
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of “What I eat in a day” posts on social media. So, I decided to write one for what I, a Wellesley student, eats on an average day. My breakfast depends on the weekday: if I have many classes that day, I’ll eat a full breakfast in Lulu. This week, I had a bagel and…
No Class Wednesdays
I recently posted about when my day is busy with three back-to-back classes. Now, I’ll do the opposite and give a glimpse of a day with zero classes. For me, that day is Wednesday. My schedule worked out this semester so that I don’t have any classes on Wednesdays and so far it’s really great. I try to reserve Wednesdays…
New Years Noodle Soup
Happy Friday! This past Monday was President’s Day, so we had a long weekend. I had a good weekend that I spent being with friends and doing work. One of my friends and I are big fans of Bollywood movies, so we spent Friday night watching this comedy heist movie, Happy New Year, in our dorm’s TV room. The TV…
