Happy April Fools! Today marks the second day of reading period here at Wellesley, which is no laughing matter. I’m currently knee deep in research for my final history essay, and I’m preparing to take my Tolstoy exam tomorrow, too. I will be the first to admit that this term definitely kicked my butt, and at the end of…

Back to the Future
Happy Spring, blog! We’re in the thick of it here at Wellesley, with only three days of class left in the term, and as all endings tend to do, this week has been making me think about the future, from the very near to the very far. Tomorrow is yet another one of those beautiful days where two different…
Another Week, A Couple More Stories
What a week, blog! I’m really getting back into the swing of things here on campus, and not a moment too soon (one could argue that it’s a little late, given that there’s only one week of classes left in Term 3, but I’m choosing to be grateful it happened at all)! I haven’t exactly stuck to the letter…
Hitting Reset
I’m looking back through my Google calendar to see what happened this past week. Not going to lie, it was a long one. I think the combination of school work, pandemic fatigue, and constantly changing New England weather all culminated in a lot of stress and burnout. The hot water in Lake House also was acting a bit dodgy for…
Getting My Head Back in the Game
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the transition back to living on campus hasn’t exactly been easy for me this semester. I’ve found myself being really unmotivated to get anything done and constantly waiting for the time in between classes, after homework and practice times and meetings are over and I can just lie in my bed and pretend my…
Walks, Term Updates, and More
Good day! Today marks almost the end of week 3. As of March 1st, Wellesley’s COVID bubble has been officially sealed, and so far, so good (knock on wood). All the talk about increased vaccination supply has been promising too, and it feels like things are finally looking up. Of course, a reminder that even though there’s reason for optimism,…
Back On Campus and Back In Business!
Well folks, it has been a wild three weeks back on campus following the beautiful two months I spent napping and watching Criminal Minds on my couch, and I’m just getting back into the swing of all things Wellesley College! I’m a little bit ashamed to admit this, but in these weeks on campus I somehow haven’t managed to…
Just About Wrapped Up
Happy Thursday, dear readers! Today is going to be a great day; I don’t know how your morning went, but mine started with chocolate chip pancakes and bacon at Tower, which is always a great omen! We’re closely approaching the end of the semester here at Wellesley; we had our final HOCO on Tuesday, tomorrow is the last day…
Light the Lamp, Not the Rat!
This week’s blog title might sound a little bit like nonsense to you- although anyone familiar with The Muppet Christmas Carol, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, will surely get the reference- but this is one of many silly pieces of advice I’ve decided to take to heart this finals season. This year has been hard.…
My (Meeting!) Monday Routine
Hello hello! I’m back a bit later this week than usual, with some exciting updates! Usually, I try to post weekly, but this past week, I found myself overloaded with work. But I just turned in my first paper and it feels great! We’ve just completed week four now (halfway through term 2!) so the craziness is justified. Today, I…
