Hi everyone! Winter break ended two weeks ago, and I’m officially back in academic mode. I absolutely loved winter break. I went back home to Bulgaria, and I slept a lot. With the stress around finals season last semester, I didn’t sleep a lot, so I was really excited to sleep during the break. I saw a lot of my…

Finals Season
Hello everyone! It’s finally here—the last week of classes. This semester felt endless at times, and yet I still feel like I arrived on campus a few days ago. But it’s a fact that classes are almost over, and that the final exams are here. Before exams start though, we have a few days of reading period. It’s a total…
Let me explain my Spotify Wrapped
Hello everyone! Before I start explaining my Spotify Wrapped to you, let me say that music plays a huge part of my life on campus. Whether it is when I’m walking to class with headphones on, chilling with YouTube music on in my room, or simply studying in the library with Spotify in the background, different songs play in the…
Thanksgiving Break on Campus
Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a nice and stress-free Thanksgiving break if you celebrate that holiday. As I am an international student, I didn’t grow up with this holiday. So, this month was only the second time I ever celebrated it. I know that the origins of this holiday are complicated, but I do think that a holiday that…
De-stressing in college…
Hi everyone! I love November—I love seeing the leaves leave the trees, I love the cold weather without the snow, I love the fashion during that season. What I don’t love about the month is that it’s so close to the end of the school year, and yet there is almost exactly a month left of classes. This makes November…

Declaring a Physics Major!
Hello everyone! I’m really excited this week because I finally declared my major! I absolutely didn’t come to Wellesley thinking that I would be a physics major, but here we are. Usually, the deadline to declare a major at Wellesley is in March of your sophomore year. Because I want to study abroad though, I had to declare my major…
A walk around Tower Court
Tower Court is one of the biggest and prettiest buildings on our campus. According to Wellesley’s website, around 360 people live in it. This year, that number includes me. To be honest, when I was choosing where I wanted to live this year during the summer, Tower was not a top choice for me. A combination of bad luck and…
First-year orientation through the eyes of a sophomore!
I remember my New Students Orientation last year and how excited I was for it. I was excited to move in, to meet my neighbors, classmates, people in general, and to start my college experience. I had an incredible time throughout that week last year, so I knew that I wanted to be a part of it again this year,…
