Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a very eventful week; it seems like something is always happening at Wellesley, and while I do love that I never have to look far to be entertained, I’m definitely looking forward to the break we’ll be getting later on this month. I think it’ll be nice to have a few…

Admitting Defeat
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a bit of a weird week for me. If you’ve read my last couple of blog posts, you probably know that I’ve been struggling with trying to do it all this semester, and in the past week that really caught up to me. If I were to go for a metaphor,…
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! I’m writing my post a little later in the day than usual because I just finished my first essay of the semester! It was for Happiness, the pre-eighteenth century literature class I’m taking, and I wrote the first paragraph while the Help Desk was slow this morning and the other four pages in the…
The Boulder Chase
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today was my second day of training for my new job at the Computing Help Desk, and I’ve been starting to feel the effects of stretching myself thin. It feels like my classwork has been piling up higher and higher and I have no chance to reach the bottom of the pile. To combat…
The Fire of September
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This is the first real week of classes, and I’m beginning to realize that I really need to straighten out my priorities if I want to do everything that I want to do on campus; I’m taking five classes, working three jobs, and participating in a music ensemble this semester, which is quite a…
First Week Jitters
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day of classes here at Wellesley; I had my first French class this morning and this afternoon I will be attending my very first in person convocation ceremony, which I am very excited about. I’m not entirely sure what exactly a convocation is, but I’ll be sure to update you…
Life is Art. Art is Life: Lessons for a Meaningful in Life from Art
This is my final blog post at Wellesley College ever. Instead of a traditional reflection post, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite paper submissions. I wrote this paper for my Philosophy Seminar on the Meaning of Life and thought it summed up what I learned at Wellesley quite well. I’m still in disbelief that it’s all…
Crossing Things Off My To-Do List
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! This week has been the week of finally getting around to things, which means that I’ve been super productive and have done many things that I can tell you all about. Go me! The first big thing I got out of the way this week was probably the most exciting: I got my…
Mission: Registration
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! I am proud to announce that as of 8:01 this morning, I am officially registered for my sophomore fall semester classes. As per the norm, my Twitter feed has been filled with students panicking over saved schedules, wait lists, and back up courses for the past week. Personally, I’ve never had any major difficulties on…
Vaccination Station
Hello, blog! Today, I have an exciting announcement: I’m getting vaccinated! Cue the cheers, applause, etc. Massachusetts officially moved into stage three earlier this week, and Anastasija and I were able to snag appointments in Boston tonight. Wellesley is making an exception on their Boston-travel ban for vaccination purposes, and a couple of upperclassmen set up a ride network…
