Being an Adult is Hard

Being an adult is so hard! I’ve had a very busy summer so far working at the admissions office and doing a ton of boring paperwork in my free time. I’m studying abroad in Greece this upcoming fall, and I’m SO excited!! But going through the visa application process is no joke. This weekend I went into Brookline to get…

This weekend, I visited the New England Aquarium in Boston. Before I went, I used my Wellesley free library card to get my ticket for half off. To get there, I took the commuter rail from Wellesley Square, which was about a ten minute bike ride from my dorm. At the aquarium, I first went to the shark and ray…

Movers and Shakers!

One of the things I really appreciate about being at Wellesley over the summer is our proximity to Boston, whenever I get bored or want to go on an adventure I know the city is only a train ride away. I’m especially grateful for this because last summer I was in a small town in the Berkshires with no car…

Track and Fun

Discovering Archaeology at Wellesley!

This week marks one month of working in the admissions office, and so far I’ve given 24 tours (according to the tour counter Elise and I have going)! A lot of the students on my tours haven’t decided what they want to study in college, which is an experience I can definitely relate to. I didn’t take my first anthropology…

City and Country

Hello Blog! One of my favorite things about Wellesley is its location. It’s about 12 miles from Boston and it’s easy to get to either on the exchange bus from campus or the commuter rail in the town of Wellesley. Additionally, there are tons of hiking and nature trails connected to the college. First, there is the lake path which…
