This is my final blog post of the summer! It is very bittersweet to know that this internship is coming to an end and that I’ll be going home in just a few days (though I will be returning the week after for my fall semester). This summer has been such a valuable experience; from leading tours on campus and…

My Why Wellesley 💙✨
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…
My Dorms at Wellesley
I moved into my new dorm a few days ago – the fourth dorm I’ve lived in so far at Wellesley! Being surrounded by unpacked boxes and suitcases is a strangely familiar and comforting feeling; the walls may be blank and the shelves may be empty, but there’s always this level of excitement that comes with the meticulous planning in…
Dinner with geoscience researchers
Hello beautiful people, Have you ever heard of the saying, “only make friends outside of your major?” Maybe you were like me, and didn’t know such advice existed until you set foot on a college campus. But, trust me, there’s some real magic in branching out. If you’re curious about how to expand your social circle, join us Wednesday…
College essay advice 📝
Hello blog! Welcome back to my little corner all about Wellesley :D. Today I’m going to be sharing some advice about what the majority of students consider to be the most intimidating part of college applications: the essays. When I was applying to colleges, all of the essays stressed me out so much. I started writing my personal essay in…
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!…
