Hello dear readers! Yes, it is bittersweet, but it is also a fact that this week is the last full week of classes. Of course, I have a ton of things to do, but I still wanted to get the chance to stop and reflect on that fact. I will miss my classes, some parts of my routine, and most…

Thanksgiving Break
Hello everyone! This week is the first full week after the Thanksgiving break, and things are slowly going back to normal and heading toward the end of the semester. I love breaks, but I am super unproductive during them, which results in a very busy week afterward. It’s just that time of the semester when a lot of assignments are…
Christmas In The Air
Hello everybody! Okay, so I know that it is Thanksgiving and Christmas shouldn’t be on my mind yet. But I’m not American, so I don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving, and I really love Christmas. So, I will start writing about it right now! Yesterday, I spent the whole day in Boston with some friends. We went to the Boston Public Library,…
Boston and Birthday Parties
Hello dear readers! I’m writing this on a Monday, in between classes on my roommate’s birthday. She turned 18 today, so last night with some friends we organized a surprise mini-midnight party for her. We went shopping in Target on Saturday and we got her a cake and birthday decorations (by the way, the theme for the party was dinosaurs,…
Around Lake Waban
Lake Waban is definitely one of the prettiest sights on campus, and also something you probably have heard a lot about while applying to Wellesley. Seeing the lake from your dorm room is definitely something we brag about around here (I have a really pretty view of the lake from my room, which almost makes up for the small room). …
The One About Halloween
I know you might be over Halloween by now, but I still need to talk (or write) about it here because most of the exciting things that happened to me last week were connected to it. I saw a lot of cool costumes around campus over Halloweekend. Some of my favorites include the person dressed as a banana, the one…
Free snacks
My snack drawer went from being empty to barely being able to close this week. That only means one thing: there were a lot of things happening around campus as Wellesley loves to give out snacks during events. The major source of snacks was a gift package I got from my family in Bulgaria. They found an online store that…
A Rather Busy Week On Campus
Hello dear readers! As the first week after Fall Break, this week has been relatively uneventful and studying-focused. I have a ton of things due this week, but I am also really looking forward to the end of the week because this weekend is the Family and Friends weekend. My family won’t be coming, but I am still excited because…
Fall Break in New Hampshire
Hello cool people! Fall is in full swing here at Wellesley. Along with the countless colorful leaves and trees around (and the countless pictures of them), Fall Break has also arrived on our beautiful campus. As you know, I am an international student who has never been to the US before coming to Wellesley, so, when a friend of mine…
Hiiii: The Introduction
Hello dear readers! My name is Vyara, and I will be one of the student bloggers this year! I use she/her pronouns, I’m class of 2026, and I’m an international student from Bulgaria (I feel like I have repeated the last sentence at least a couple of hundred times in the past month that I have been here, hah).…
