Study Abroad Stories
Hi all, With less than a month remaining of my time abroad, I thought it would be fitting to chat about my experience studying abroad. To preface, I had gone into this time away without much preparation other than what the Office of International Studies requires. I had taken a look at the brochure for Trinity College maybe once or…
Monday Midterm Melancholy
Hi all, Midterm season is upon us! My midterms are looking a bit different this semester than how they have looked at Wellesley for my previous four semesters. For today’s post I thought I could do a bit of a comparison and contrast of the workload, lecture setup, and overall academic experience abroad and at Wellesley thus far! My credentials…

Tale of a Monday Morning Muffin
Hi all, Lots to celebrate this week! Happy Halloween, happy first of the month, and happy almost winter break! This week’s post honestly has no structure to be 100% truthful.

It’s Spooky Season…Back to School
Hi all, Let’s talk about everything school this week: classes, majors and how to manage all of it! I like to think I have a bit of a unique perspective with being abroad and being able to get a taste of another university’s academic expectations after being so used to those at Wellesley. For those who may not know, I…
Monday Night is the New Saturday Night
Hi all, Happy first week of October! Holy moly did September just fly by so quickly. The fall at Wellesley is one of the most beautiful times to see campus. The leaves start to turn to a pumpkin orange, and the campus feels like a fall wonderland. I am envious of everyone being able to experience it this semester! While…
From First-Year to Abroad
Hi all, Another week is in the books for this fall 2023 semester! I still cannot believe I am a junior this year. It feels like just yesterday my parents were moving me into campus in a post-COVID era. I am very happy that those who have moved in this year and in the years to come will get to…
