Welcome back! This week, I’ll be sharing more of the things I did while my mom visited. Per my last blog, we went whale watching, and had just wrapped up our Saturday morning activities. After leaving the flea market we visited, we headed towards the Boston Public Library. To get there, we took the blue and green lines. My mom…

Providence Is Only Two Train Rides Away!
This weekend I traveled long and far to the great state of Rhode Island for a family reunion. I had been hoping to take a day trip to Providence, so I already had a whole itinerary planned out. I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to catch the 8am commuter rail into Boston, no caffeine needed because I…
On The Uptown
HELLO. GREETINGS. SALUTATIONS. BLOGGIES. I hope all 2 and a half of my readers had a WONDERFUL weekend. BECAUSE IIII DID. I truly think New York has some type of spiritual allure to it that I can not pull myself away from. It’s giving pirate and siren except I forgot to cover my ears. That was my 4th time in…
Adventures with Margaret Part 1
Hello again! This weekend, my mom visited me. She hadn’t visited Boston since my fall semester first year, so it was nice to show her around again with more knowledge of Boston. She flew in Thursday afternoon, and we headed to the commuter rail station to go to Cambridge for dinner. We took a quick bus connection and arrived at…
Meeting Celebs and Exploring the North End!
This weekend I had a very special surprise visitor! My friend Elly came to visit me all the way from Ithaca for 24 hours only.

Bellamy & Ceres
HEY BLOGGIES. Welcome back once again to Avery’s blog. You know the drill. The song that describes this week is: Directly after work last Thursday, I went to #myfavoriteplaceonearth, The Boston Athenaeum. I got a new book and became slightly more versed in the Library of Congress Classification System. Which was a JOURNEY to say the least as I had…
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the MBTA
Welcome back to the Blog! One of my favorite things about going to college near Boston is the public transportation. I come from an area in the South where there are very few trains and no subways, so I’m grateful for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). These last few weeks I’ve been exploring Boston a good bit, and I…
Wellesley Myths: Fact or Fiction?
Today we will take a short break from our Wellelsey lingo series and drift our focus slightly. My roommate from high school came to visit me last week, and we had a really fun time. At some point we started talking about our college experiences compared to our high school ones. Upon that wonderful conversation, I got inspired to write…
Lara Ventures into Boston!
Unlike some people I know (*cough* Avery *cough*), I don’t go into Boston too often. I have big plans to go on solo trips around Europe while I’m studying abroad, but I figure I should start small with solo trips into Boston. I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to catch the commuter rail into Boston and go…
