Happy spring semester! It’s a new year, new semester, and I’m feeling optimistic. Spring is my favorite time at Wellesley: the weather slowly gets warmer, it no longer gets dark at four pm, and there’s the promise of summer not so far away. I had a hectic but enjoyable winter break. I headed back home and went on an overnight…

The end of the fall semester is here! Today is my last day of classes, we have reading period till Sunday, and the final exam period is next Monday to Thursday.

Answering Wellesley FAQs
This is the last full week of classes at Wellesley! We have classes until next Wednesday, which is followed by reading period, and then final exams are upon us.

Study Tips from a Wellesley Student
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break! I had a great time flying back home and seeing my family, friends, and pet cat. I missed him a lot. Now that we’re back on campus, there are only a few weeks left in the semester. This means back-to-back tests in these next couple weeks for me, which has honestly been…
Let’s Hear it for New York
On Sunday, I went on a day field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Met, in New York City! This was for my Islamic art history class and so much fun. My day began VERY early at 5:00 am. We took a school bus to the city (not the yellow school bus you’re thinking of), so we…

When in Wellesley
Today, I want to focus on the fun things students can do in the town of Wellesley. I feel like we spend a lot of time talking about going to Cambridge and Boston on the weekends; thus, I now want to highlight and recommend some things to do within the town of Wellesley! Right outside the east side of campus…
College Fashion
I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend! Every year I say this, but I cannot believe it’s already November. It has felt like nonstop exams this past month, and I can’t wait to go home for Thanksgiving break in a couple weeks. Today, I want to write about something I have noticed in my past year at Wellesley: how…
Extra Busy Day in the Life
Today, I’m going to share what a very busy school day looks like in my life! I remember obsessively watching “Day in the life as a (insert college name) student” videos when I was applying to colleges, so I hope this can also be useful to readers. Tuesdays end up as my busiest school day. I have two back-to-back classes…
Why I Chose Wellesley
I think I’ve previously mentioned a little on why I chose to attend Wellesley, but today I want to dedicate an entire post to explaining what led me here. If you’re a prospective student reading, hopefully some of this can resonate with you. But first, here are some updates: I declared my major and minor! My major and minor plans…
