I am officially back and so is the snow! I am ready to take on the second semester of my second year. There seems to be a lot going on at the same time as I try to readjust, classes, deciding to study abroad, and summer internships. I am also starting to realize that I am about to hit the…

Last Year, Last Term, Last Chance
Welcome back to weekly updates from real Wellesley College students! It’s been a while since my last post… close to two months, I think! Not only that, but the past few weeks have been busy due to the simple fact that I am graduating! Like it or not I will be walking the walk in exactly four months. I will…
Wintersession in Paris
Classes start next week but I wanted to give you an update on what I have been doing since I last wrote on the blog. For the first two weeks of January, I was in Paris as part of the French department’s Wintersession class on Parisien film culture. The class is called Paris, CinéCity and allowed us to discuss Parisien film culture…
End of the Fall Semester 2.0
We had our last day of classes recently and officially closed this Fall semester 2017. I am currently in the process of studying for finals so this post won’t be too long. However, I wanted to say a few things. First, I am grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and things I learned. Second, I am hopeful for next…
Ice Cream Making and Moss Art (the last week of lab)
When I went to the train station today, there was a carpet of turquoise blue rock salt…snow is coming! It was quite beautiful, the whole corridor along the train coated in crystals. And, of course, with my Chem 205 background I couldn’t help but think that they were probably CaCl2, which has a higher Van’t hoff factor of 3 and…
Musings & Finals Szn
10 days 17 hours 07 minutes and 47 no 46 seconds until I am done with the fall semester of my sophomore. It’s wild how fast it has gone by and a little unnerving that there is so little time left. I still have so much left to do: buy Christmas gifts for friends and family, write essays, study for exams and…
Silver Linings
Somehow, it’s December already. On one hand, I’m excited, because it’s now socially acceptable to listen to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” On the other hand, all I want for Christmas is to make it through two fifteen page papers and an inorganic chemistry final intact, so I can go home and lie on the floor…
Declaring My Major
I am finally a college student! I officially declared my major as a Peace and Justice Studies Major with a concentration in International Human Rights. I finally feel like a legitimate college student because I have a purpose; something to shape my classes around. The best part about attending a liberal arts school is the majors and areas of study.…
How Does This Keep Happening?
Somehow I find myself in my last fall semester of college, about two weeks away from finals, and still surprised by how fast time flies. I’m always amazed by the conflicting emotions I get at the end of a semester: I’m looking forward to the holiday but not to finals, I’m looking forward to going home but fully aware that…
