According to my countdown app, today marks my 90th day on the Wellesley campus! It’s a little weird to think about that; ninety days ago I packed up all of my stuff from Hotel Wellesley and rode a bus for ten minutes to reach my home for the next four years. It definitely wasn’t the beginning I had imagined at…

Second First Day of Senior Year
Happy November! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween and enjoyed their extra hour (re: daylight savings if you’re in the U.S.!). Last week was the first week of term 2: I thought of Monday as the second first day of my senior year. Adjusting to my new classes and schedule made the week fly by! I also…
Resting and Resetting
Hi everyone! Welcome back. It’s been a while since I last posted, because last week I took a much needed break! After a term that went by at lightning speed, it was really nice to slow down and catch my breath for a full 7 days. I realized I never talked about my term 1 finals and how they went.…
First Term, The Finals Jam
And just like that it all flew by- I’m at the end of my first term at Wellesley! It still feels a little bit too early for any sort of personal reflection- I’ll save that for the ends of semesters and of years- but I do think it’s time for a little bit of looking back, and what better…
My Term 1 Courses: A Full Plate
Hello hello! Not going to lie, I had to look at my Google Calendar to remember what happened this past week. It was a busy one (when is it not?), complete with the first exam of my senior year, an interview, and plenty of meetings. It’s the beginning of week 4 now, so I wanted to share a little about…
A Busy Week at Home
Happy Earth Day friends! I write to you from my sunny desk after a lovely walk. Today is one of those spring days that I absolutely love. For one, it is 79º here which to me is the perfect temperature for hanging out without overheating. It’s a clear day, the flowers are blooming, and neighbors are out walking with their…
So, How Are College Classes Online?!
Safe to say, it’s been a hectic past few weeks. On March 12th, Wellesley decided to move to online learning for the rest of the semester, and requested that students (if able) depart for home immediately. I decided to book my flight for the 13th. What happened within the next 24 hours was a combination of tearful goodbyes, hasty packing,…
week two online
This week marked the second week of online classes. I’m starting to get used to it but I will admit, it is still not ideal. Most of my professors have downsized the course in order to focus on the readings and discussion. We do not have many assignments or projects to work on. Personally, I am very happy this. Working…
Wellesley College: Walnut Creek, CA Campus
Hello friends! I absolutely cannot believe that it is April already! Today, we are mid-way through our second week of online classes. I am starting to develop a routine again and I now consider myself a Zoom expert! Here in Nor-Cal, we can still leave the house so long as we practice social distancing, so I have been taking daily…
10 More Wonderful Aspects About Wellesley
Happy April everyone! Today concludes Wellesley’s first week of online classes/remote learning. I’d say it was a success, and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of the semester. I can’t even begin to say how much I miss my friends, professors, and campus, but I’ll take Zoom classes over nothing any day. Anyway, I’m back again this week, to…
