Last Wednesday, I sat in the quad playing a card game with my friend Anna. One week later, I write to you from my bed in California. What a week it has been. To be entirely honest, this week was the longest of my life. There were many tears and hard goodbyes, but I was also reminded over and over…

Chem Midterm and a Quick Jaunt to Vermont
It is officially midterms season folks. Like many of my peers, I had an incredibly busy week with assignments due in almost all of my classes. I’ve been practicing lots of self-care by enjoying the warm weather we’ve been having and reading outside. It has been exhausting at times but overall a great week. I had my first chem midterm…
Introductions! Introductions! Introductions!
Hello y’all! My name is Caroline and I’m about halfway through my second semester back at Wellesley. I was born and raised in Walnut Creek, California –– in the San Francisco Bay Area –– and I’m loving life on the East Coast. I am an avid reader, coffee drinker, lover of politics and fresh flowers, Ben & Jerry’s connoisseur, and…
It’s Friday, I’m in love (with my schedule)
Hello hello! Hope everyone had a good week! Current status: It’s almost the weekend, it’s sunny (but cold), and it’s the last week of February. We just wrapped up week 5 of the semester, so I thought it would be fitting to write about what my schedule is like on a typical Friday. Fridays are my chill days, because I…
The One with the New Semester
Hi! Hello! It’s been a while and I’m glad to be back on campus after a long and restful winter break. Wellesley has this ~ one month time period between fall semester and spring semester, called wintersession, where students can do one or more of the following: choose to take classes at Wellesley, do a language wintersession study abroad, work…
class trips are still fun in college
This past week has been a pretty mellow week. This semester being my last semester, I wanted to make sure I built in as much time for myself as possible. I chose my classes in a way that gave me Thursday and Friday off. Since the semester’s workload hasn’t really picked up yet, I spend most of my days off…
Weekly Highlights
Hello hello! We’re on week three, and I had my first (!) exam of this semester yesterday. How, I’m not sure, but regardless, this week just flew by. We’re already halfway through this month. Some highlights from the past week: I recently acquired two new plants for my room! Ever since coming back from abroad, I’ve been procrastinating decorating my…
“What are you taking this semester?”
“What are you taking this semester?” This question is up there with “How was your break?” in terms of how many times I’ve answered it in the past couple weeks. But I can never remember my fourth class. It doesn’t matter what order I list my courses in; the fourth one only comes after a bit of “uh… um… oh…
last semester!
And now begins my last semester at Wellesley. It has been a wild ride and I’m excited to see how my last semester goes. This post is going to focus on the courses I am taking. The first one is Between Nature and Culture: Francophone Caribbean Literature and the Environment. This course is cross listed in the French and Environmental…
Hello 2020!

As per tradition, for the first post of the semester, I wanted to share with you all the courses I’ll be taking this semester, and what I’m looking forward…
