Spring at Wellesley = bipolar weather + prospies on campus + more smiles + more work. I was wearing summer clothes a few days ago, and last night I had to break out my winter coat again because it was 8 degrees one night, then 0 degrees (celsius) the next. (I seriously need to learn to charge my phone. also…

Benefits of Wellesley, and why I love college
Hellooooooooo Today is a beautiful day. I’m not kidding, the weather is AMAZING. The best it’s been all year. I am currently sitting in the open lawn area on Tower Court facing Lake Waban.

Decision Making: my experience as an International Student
*****^_^*Spring is here~~~!!*^_^**** Congratulations to all of you who received some great news last week. LONG (but hopefully helpful) post to follow: be warned. I remember last year on March 21st, I got up at 5:30am and refreshed the MyWellesley page for half an hour straight until I saw the letters “Congra—“. Getting ready for school after that was the…
Wellesley STOP SNOWING PLEASE
A week from now I will be in sunny California. That’s the thought that got me out of bed this morning when I saw this: yay snow? nay snow. Snow, again, of course.

Japan Club presents: Yuki Matsuri 2014
I just had an insanely busy weekend. It was a long one too, with Presidents’ Day, but I could’ve used another day off. It’s Wednesday and I’m feeling very sleep deprived. BUT, it was worth it because Saturday, Japan Club (of which I am on the executive board) hosted our annual “Snow Festival” event. As a member of the e-board,…
Naked Men on Campus and Why I (Don’t) Care
Yep, he’s really here. (a few additions have been made to the Sleepwalker Statue since Monday) So I’m sure most of you have seen or heard about the statue of the semi-nude man that’s taken residence on campus. On Tuesday, I was walking back to my dorm from the Science Center and did a double take when I saw a…
Back!!
…and just like that, we’re back. Back at Wellesley where the sky is blue and professors are ready for you with their syllabi and readings. Hi there. It’s been a while. It’s been five weeks. The day I finished my final exam back in December, I packed up my things and by the following afternoon I was on a plane…

Appreciation and Applications
Playlist of the week — for FOCUSING! http://8tracks.com/katelynnbae/the-ultimate-study-playlist Happy belated Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving was never a holiday I really celebrated in the past, but I learned this year that it is a very important holiday to many Americans who take this time to be with their family and appreciate all that they have. That’s a great holiday, and although my way…
