I mentioned in my first post this year that I have three back-to-back classes twice a week. There’s a ten minute passing period between each class and it’s not easy, but it’s managable and today you get a peek of my day. On those mornings, I try to eat a good breakfast because I know I won’t get to eat…

Eric and Brian Nam Talk
This past Monday, I attended a talk at school by Eric Nam and his brother Brian! If you don’t know who Eric Nam is, he’s a Korean-American singer and television personality who’s spent a lot of time in the Korean entertainment industry. I’m a big K-pop fan and I like his songs. I was pretty surprised when I saw on…
First Day of Classes Recap
Happy Friday! Two weeks have gone by very quickly and I enjoy all my classes so far; the material is interesting and I like all my professors. This weekend is going to be interesting because Massachusetts is experiencing extremely cold wind chills and temperatures tomorrow– I plan on staying in my dorm for the majority of the day. Today, I…
Winter Break and a New Semester!
Happy New Year and new semester! Spring semester began this week, though it certainly feels much colder than spring right now. It’s been snowing this week, which has slowed down my walks to classes. My winter break was very relaxing and I loved being back home. I spent the break hanging out with friends, watching TV, reading books, practicing driving…
The end of my first semester at college
I know how cliche this sounds, but I genuinely can’t believe how fast these past few months have gone by. My first semester at college is over and it felt like a blur. Obviously, a lot has happened. I’m proud of myself for getting through my classes (and I will definitely miss shadow grading) Adjusting to academics, especially the first…
Exercise and End of the Semester
I’m not taking a PE class this semester and I admit I’ve been neglecting exercise because I’m busy with school (and also because I’m a little lazy) But I know working out and personal health is important and recently I’ve been taking it more seriously. Earlier in the semester, if I had free time after classes and if the weather…
Turkey Vacation
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break! Mine was great and restful. Before flying back home on Tuesday night, I had to complete an essay and prepare for a take-home midterm. I spent Monday and Tuesday finishing up my essay, studying for my midterm, and packing. Wellesley provided shuttles to Logan Airport, so I took one. I nearly missed…
POV: You’re a first year registering for spring courses
Last week was spring course registration! As a first year, our registration was the last slot of Friday. This made me worried that the courses I wanted to take would fill up before then; all week I kept an eye on those courses and hoped there would be seats left. My first semester at Wellesley is shadow graded, meaning my…
Visiting the MFA
Last Saturday afternoon, my friend and I visited the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston. For my Greco-Roman archaeology class, this week’s homework assignment was to visit the MFA and take notes on some artifacts. I was excited for this visit because I really liked the Harvard Art Museum (shoutout fall break blog post) and I think this class…
Happy Halloween
Happy late Halloween! Last year, I remember my Halloween weekend being consumed by double, triple, and quadruple checking my college applications. I am glad that Halloween was different this year. After Halloweekend, I was grateful to have a more relaxed Monday. I attended class and enjoyed walking around campus afterwards because the weather was weirdly pretty nice for the end…
