Dear Junior Year, Wow, you were no joke! As the semester is about to draw to a close, let’s take a look back at this year and reflect on the lessons I’ve learned and the growth I have made. I started this school year off in a different country, in a different time zone, at a different school having a…

MarMon!
Hi all, The best holiday of the year was just two days ago! Marathon Monday, famously coined as ‘MarMon,’ is a well-loved tradition and event that will forever be one of my favorite moments from my time at Wellesley. Every Patriots’ Day, which is the third Monday of April, the Boston Marathon takes place and is a wonderful celebration on…
Happy April!
Hi all! Can you believe it is April?! I certainly cannot! We are in the home stretch of classes and coursework to keep up with. I for one have been feeling some of the effects of burnout and thought it was only fitting that we talk about how to recognize and address feelings of burnout when in the busiest time…
Welcome Back to Wellesley!
Hi all, Wow, has it been some time since we last chatted?! I have greatly missed my time to blog and am grateful to be back and writing. To be honest, I have been having a few medical concerns that needed to get resolved, which meant I had to take a step back from some of my favorite activities. While…
Leap Day Week
Hi all, Happy Leap Day! What an exciting way to end this last week of February. For many, the end of the month brings about upcoming essays, exams, projects, and of course stress! I have been working on finding activities that help me to relax and take a break from the heavy coursework. For this week, it felt fitting to…
Lacrosse Season Incoming!
Hi all, Woohoo, another week of February in the books! Here at Wellesley, we had a long weekend due to the President’s Day holiday, but I am certain this “short” week will likely feel even longer than a typical week! As we (almost) close out this month of February, the lacrosse team and I will have our first game this…
A Wellesley Winter Wonderland
Hi all, It is a new week with the chance for each day to be a success! Here at Wellesley, we are supposed to be having a fairly large snowstorm today despite the unseasonably warm weather earlier in the week. For those reading who are not from the New England area, I thought it would only be appropriate to talk…
Spring Semester Round Up
Hi all, WOW! It has been a year since we last chatted! (Haha, get it 😆) But really, I have missed chatting with you all. I figured we could do a good old fashioned get to know me post with some updated course schedules and what it is like to now be in season for lacrosse! As for my academics,…
Reset and jet-set to the U.S.!
Hi all, I am going home this week! I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by. December has really crept up on me. This week’s post is largely going to be a mix of random thoughts that I have had. I have been working on my final exams (all six of them) coupled with the lovely task of packing…
Travel Diary from Abroad
Hi all, Holy moly! It’s my second to last week in Dublin! What a whirlwind the last few months have been. It only seems fitting to write a good old fashioned travel diary. Ireland has been the most beautiful place with kind, genuine and hilarious people. While I was fortunate enough to travel to other countries as well, I want…
