Homework in College

Hi everyone! I will be honest—this is a really long and busy week for a lot of students at Wellesley, including myself. With spring break right around the corner and the midterms nearing, I’m prepared for a busier schedule in the next couple of days. In the spirit of that, I thought I would share with you what my typical…

A Day in the Life!

Hi everyone! I realized I haven’t done “a day in the life” in a long time, so here’s one from my Friday during a relatively chill week. 9:18 a.m. I wake up to my alarm (I don’t like my alarms being at a time that ends at 0 or 5 for some reason) for my 9:55 a.m. physics class. My…

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.

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…
