Hi all, The best part of the entire school year was just here. If you go to Wellesley, you know Marathon Monday isn’t just a Boston thing but instead it’s a Wellesley thing. It might as well be its own holiday on campus. There are few traditions that hit as hard (and as loud) as the Wellesley Scream Tunnel. For…

What to do for fun at Wellesley
Hello Blog! Last week, I wrote about my experience living in dorms at Wellesley—a top question on the mind of prospective students—and this week I will answer another top question: what do Wellesley students do for fun in their free time? Firstly for on-campus events and fun, Wellesley departments, offices, or organizations are usually hosting something every week. This month,…
Happy Ruhlman Week
Hello everyone! It’s time for the Ruhlman Conference, one of the two yearly conferences at Wellesley where students get to present their research, academic experiences at and outside of Wellesley, and much more! The whole day is really exciting—classes are canceled, there are numerous presentations by students ranging from a few minutes to an hour, a poster session, and much…
Senior Spring
Hi all, It’s officially senior spring, and things feel… weird. There’s this strange mix of calm and chaos. On one hand, classes are lighter, the weather’s better, and everyone’s just a little more relaxed. On the other hand, there’s that constant background noise of “what’s next?”—whether that’s jobs, grad school, or figuring it out as we go. Lately, it’s been…
Big News!
Hello Blog, A lot has happened this past week. First, I turned in my thesis!! It is 123 pages long and finished! My actual oral exam/thesis defense is in a couple weeks to decide if I get honors in my major, but the thesis is officially turned in (early!). After the defense we also have time to make minor edits,…
My Wellesley Dorm Experience
Happy April! I want to dedicate this post to talking about my experience living in dorms here at Wellesley, which I know is a top question on the mind of prospective students. Firstly, the majority of Wellesley students live on-campus in residence halls for all four years. I think living on campus is the most efficient option and really integrates…
Go Red Sox?
Hello everybody! New week, same old me. Let me start this blog with even MORE daffodils photos (yes, I am a superfan). There has been so much going on on campus and around Boston recently that I feel like I have barely had a minute to relax this past weekend. On Friday there was a “Davis After Dark” event at…
I am a Stone David Superfan (+ Senior Sentimentality)
Hello Blog, I feel like I’ve been pretty one-note these past 2 blogs, but some of the food here recently has been providing me a significant amount of joy. I have long been a fan of Stone-Davis dining hall (our vegan/vegetarian & kosher dining hall) despite not fitting into any of these groups. They recently introduced a pre-made panini station…
Spring Time Self-Care
Hi all, In today’s fast-paced world, the term “self-care” gets thrown around a lot. It’s often associated with face masks, bubble baths, and treating yourself to a fancy coffee. While those things can be great, self-care is more than that; it’s about maintaining your well-being in ways that truly nourish your mind, body, and soul. For today, we’re going to…
Study breaks, flowers, and Eastern European music
Hi everyone! It’s been a busy busy busy week in Wellesley. It is time for the second round of midterms around here, so studying is occupying a big part of my time. I have been studying a lot with friends recently, and somehow we all end up convincing each other that we deserve a break or a sweet treat (mostly…
