#Checking_In
Hi everybody! I hope you’re all doing well. It’s been starting to cool down in Wellesley, so giving tours around campus hasn’t been nearly as painful as last week. Despite that, it’s important to remember to stay hydrated! Today I just wanted to check in with y’all! I know that the school year is going to start soon (if it…
STEM (classes I’ve taken) at Wellesley
Fall: Quantitative Reasoning (QR 140) with 20 people I took this class because I didn’t pass the quantitative reasoning test. As detailed in our website for QR, “Quantitative reasoning is required in virtually all academic fields, is used in most every profession, and is necessary for decision-making in everyday life. The Quantitative Reasoning Program is designed to ensure that Wellesley…

WAZZUP??!! If you haven’t watched Scary Movie yet…what are you waiting for…? via GIPHY ANYWAY, HELLO!!! It’s been a few days since we’ve last spoken—I hope you’re all doing well and staying cool! My friends and I took the commuter rail down to Rhode Island this past weekend, and it was super hot there! I made a collage of all…
Summer life at Wellesley :)
During the summer, I’m working for the admission office as an Admission Summer Intern (ASI), which is really fun 🙂 I love the people at the office! My supervisors, my fellow ASIs, and I went candlepin bowling once, which is like normal bowling but with smaller balls and pins, (it’s, apparently, a New England thing). But what I especially LOVE…
#a_fun_ASI_outing
Hi again! The Admission Summer Interns (and Mariam’s friend who was so lovely and funny) took a trip to downtown Boston and had a relaxing picnic at Boston Common, the oldest park in the nation! We had a ton of Trader Joe’s goodies and a ton of fun, too. This ASI outing was probably one of the best memories I’ve…
Mara’s First Blog!
Hi all! My name is Mara (she/they), and I’m an international student from Paraguay, in South America, aka your local Latina friend ;). I’m part of the purple class (’26), and I’m also a prospective neuroscience major—so very excited to talk about science at Wellesley and what not! Before Wellesley, I had never been to the United States before, so…
#intropost
Hello to whoever is reading this! My guess is you’re a student interested in applying to Wellesley College…in which case I am so excited that you are here reading my little post! My name is Yewon, and I immigrated to Hawaii from South Korea just before I turned five. I grew up in that warm, tropical place for pretty much…
Farewell, Wellesley
I’ve documented my Wellesley experience on this blog since October of my first year. This site saw spontaneous sing-alongs in my dorm, the chaos of leaving campus in March 2020, and my reflections on returning to Wellesley at the height of covid restrictions. It saw milestones like declaring my major, getting my braces off, and finalizing my decision to spend…
I’m done with college
I spent this week having good-bye lunches, basking in the warm weather, and finishing my finals. As of Thursday, I’ve completed all the work for my bachelor’s degree. Graduation is six days away, so now is just vacation time. My last race was on Friday. I rowed harder than I ever have, and no part of my body hurt that…
