The last day of class has come and gone! This semester––my whole first year really––has flown by and I cannot believe that as of Friday I will be a sophomore. Although I imagined being at Wellesley with my friends enjoying a New England spring, I am reflecting on my favorite memories from my first year and looking forward to being…

A Busy Week at Home
Happy Earth Day friends! I write to you from my sunny desk after a lovely walk. Today is one of those spring days that I absolutely love. For one, it is 79º here which to me is the perfect temperature for hanging out without overheating. It’s a clear day, the flowers are blooming, and neighbors are out walking with their…
A Week in the Life: Quarantine Edition
Hello y’all! I am still under a shelter-in-place order here in Northern California, so my family has been staying inside except for walks around our neighborhood! We have had awesome weather this week –– yesterday it was 80º –– which is definitely making it harder to stay inside. Online classes are in full swing and I have established a solid…
Wellesley College: Walnut Creek, CA Campus

Does It Spark Joy?
I have now been home (and inside!!) for over a week which means that I have begun procrastinating in new and exciting ways.

Perhaps you haven’t heard of…
Boxing It All Up
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…
