Hello blog! My time with y’all is ending today since this is my last day of working in the admission office this summer 😞. Don’t worry! I’ll still be around during the academic year, but I just won’t be blogging anymore. I thought a good end to my time with y’all here in this corner of Wellesley’s internet is to…

Consistency is key…
Hello beautiful people, I can hear my mother laughing “Free-paper bun,” a Jamaican saying that refers to the end of holidays and a return to school. While my summer intern position will be concluded after this, fear not! I will be working at the admission office for the entirety of the year, so feel free to reach me at askastudent@wellesley.edu…
The women’s college of it all ✨
Hello blog! Summer is coming to a quick end 😞. One exciting (albeit at times stressful) indicator of the end of summer is the opening of college applications 🥳. Since college applications are open now, I want to spend the last few blogs giving you some college tips and answering some of Wellesley’s most common questions. Today, I want to…
Skateboarding and Surfing!
When I was 11, my dad built a halfpipe in our backyard. We were living in San Salvador, El Salvador, and most of my time was spent outside—our school was outdoors, I would go to the beach every weekend, and biking around my neighborhood was one of my favorite pastimes. Our family had a collection of maybe fifteen skateboards, with…

Chelsea’s final blog: Why Wellesley?
At the end of my tours I always give my “Why Wellesley” spiel. I try not to keep it concise but informative because if I drag it on at the end of the tour people tend to zone out. But this being my final blog I want to give a more in depth explanation with photos to really paint the…
Friends and food—the perfect combo!
Hello beautiful people, Culture is important, and my friend, Sophie, chose to share a part of hers with me through food! Last week, we went to Hungry Pot for Korean hot pot, just a 12 minute ride from Wellesley! I highly recommend this restaurant; it felt like an immersive Korean cultural culinary experience, as we essentially cooked our own food!…
I’m a twin!
Hello again! Back with another blog post, and this time I thought I’d delve into some introspection after a conversation I just had with one of the counselors from the Office of Admission about our similar upbringings. We’re both twins, sharing the unique duality of being an individual while constantly seen as part of a pair. This sparked an interesting…

NEW YORK CITY
Hello wonderful readers! I have such a fun trip to tell you all about. I went to New York with Julia to visit our close friend Cecilia. On Friday of last week, Julia drove me from Wellesley, MA to Bronxville, NY. She gave me a tour of her hometown and fed me lunch. We then took the train into Grand…
