So I’m back from Spring Break – waaaah! Just kidding! Actually I’m feeling optimistic about the rest of the semester. There is much to be done – papers, projects, and tests as usual. Then there’s planning for the future. This week, I’ll start the processes of choosing my classes and dorm room for next year. It’s hitting me that I’m…

First Year Formal
Sooo last Saturday was First Year Formal! Yayness! I honestly thought that I would be done with formals after high school, which made me sad because I love to dress up! However, Wellesley has an annual semi-formal event for first years! This year, the theme of the formal was “Lucky ’13 Takes Vegas”. My good friend is in Class…
R & R
This weekend was super fun! I enjoyed going into Cambridge and Boston. Wellesley is beautiful, but I’m really glad that there is a city nearby. Okay, so on Saturday, I was helping out at a Basketball tournament that my org, Ethos put on with the Black Student Union from Babson and the Boston Black Student Network. We’re giving the proceeds…
Quintessence Day!
Last weekend was a great one for Wellesley! Well, I’m biased. Friday was Ethos’ annual Quintessence Day. Allow me to explain. Ethos is Wellesley’s organization for students of African descent, of which I am a member. In February, we host a number of events in honor of Black History Month. Quintessence is the crown jewel of the month. An…
Getting at the Issues
Last weekend was really, really fun! I took a road trip with my Ethos sisters to the Black Solidarity Conference. The BSC is an annual event at Yale University at which students from all over the country gather to talk, to expand their horizons, and to make each other think. Beyond that, everyone is networking, publicizing events and causes, and…
Taking the Good with the Bad
I have to be honest – last week was one of the roughest I’ve had since I’ve been at Wellesley. Classes were challenging, I was tired…but hey, what do you know, I’m alive and writing this post. What’s more, I can’t say that the pressure isn’t yielding results. This week I learned a lot – I’m a little closer to…
One Long Weekend
Last weekend was nuts!!! I started the weekend early with the play Dreamgirls in Boston on Thursday. Wellesley advertised that the show was coming, made inexpensive tickets available to students, and provided transportation to and from the theatre. It was amazing – the movie couldn’t do it justice. Image from http://broadwayandme.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html Friday I headed over to MIT to hang…
Spreading Love
Wow. College kids get it done. Last Friday I went to an event called L’Union Fait La Force: Strength Through Unity at MIT. It was a showcase of local talent, and ALL of the proceeds went to Partners In Health, which is an organization that gives medical care to people who can’t afford it in places like Siberia, Peru…and Haiti. …
Ain’t That the Truth…
Well it’s back to grind as they say! Today was the first day of the Spring 2010 semester, and it wasn’t as tough to come back as I thought it would be – whew! Don't I look like, super studious? We started our semester in an AWESOME way, with a speech from Former Secretary of State…
Tooting the horn
In just one semester, Wellesley College has given me a great deal of experiences and knowledge. During winter break, I’ve had a chance to give back to Wellesley College by talking about my experiences to prospies in Little Rock, Arkansas, where I’m from. Now one thing I’ve discovered about being on panels – it’s hard not to talk a lot!…
