One of the many things I do here at Wellesley is serve on an e-board. An e-board (executive board) are the elected representatives of an organization. I am the historian for WCD (Wellesley for Caribbean Development). As the historian, my job is to dig up as much from WCD’s past as possible in order to create a detailed history report.…

Walking Around Campus 2.0
Hey, Last week, I promised I would give you guys my walking around Wellesley playlist. Some music, (a mix of genres) that I like to walk with (and occasionally dance to) around campus. Here it is: I hope you guys like the music on here. This is not an exhaustive list, (I have so much music), but this is a…
Walking around Campus
Wellesley is a beautiful place and I often find myself just walking around, listening to music. Sometimes, I am in the mood to take a walk and see where my feet take me.

Classes! Classes! Classes!
This week, I thought I would take it back to the basics. Why am I at Wellesley College? The academics is one of the main reasons I chose here. The primary reason you are in college is to learn about the world and Wellesley has given me that opportunity beyond belief. In this post, I am going to list the…
I Guess You’re Interested in Seeing My Room
(I’m going to confess to you, I didn’t know which words to capitalize in the title. Hopefully, I did it right.) This week, I am going to show you bits of my room. I didn’t clean up when taking these photos, so this is my room in all of its glory. I like the way my room feels, I am…

Essentially taking care of yourself when you feel stressed out. Or doing so regularly to maintain a happy mind. The…
Getting back into it
I often get a question from folks who don’t go to Wellesley about my activities. “What do you do for fun?” etc. Well, I will give you a brief answer to this question. One that I could elaborate on in later posts. I love the arts; music, poetry, paintings, photography, film, fashion, whatever it is, I love it. Boston has…
Back for Round 2
It feels like I never left. Though it has been 3 months since my last time on campus, I do not feel like much has changed, besides new buildings and a new cool Bates dining hall. It’s sort of like returning home. However, before coming, I was a little nervous about the changes. Would people remember me? How would professors…
Finished My First Year
I am currently writing this post from the kitchen table in my home in New Jersey. I finished my first year of college. I cannot believe how fast it went even though sometimes it felt like forever. My last week as a first-year at Wellesley was a great way to cap my year. On our last day of classes for…
Final Week of Classes
It’s the final week of classes for the Spring 2017 semester. I am about to officially finish my second semester of college and conclude my first year of college. It is an exciting time but I still cannot believe I am going to be a sophomore in college! Since my last blog post, I have been laying low not doing much.…
