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,…

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…
Huge News: Chicken Tinga Has Been Dethroned
Hello Blog, Let’s cut right to the chase. I had a meal prepared by Wellesley Fresh (the dining hall service) this week that has rocked my world. If you read my blogs from 2 years ago, though I doubt many current readers have, you will know that I am a big fan of the chicken tinga in the dining hall.…
“Having Fun” and “Hanging Out”
Hello Blog, Long time no blog! It’s hard to believe that it’s already MARCH (i.e. close to the halfway mark for the semester). I’ve always found that the spring semester goes much faster than the fall semester, but when it’s your last semester of college, it seems like it’s flying by even faster! People have been asking me a lot…
A Chilly Valentine’s Weekend ❄️
Hello Blog, I cannot lie, it has been a treacherous last few days in Massachusetts. If you are looking for an authentic New England winter experience, Wellesley during these few weeks in February is definitely the place to be. We’ve had lots of snow, and then that snow becomes ice, and then the wind blows and you’re ice skating! (I…
A Day In My Life!
Hello Blog, This week, we’ll be doing a classic: a day in my life as a Wellesley student (senior spring edition!). As a minor disclaimer, I have chosen a particularly busy day, so just remember all days are different and most are not nearly as packed as this one. Something I’m really trying to prioritize this semester is fun with…
A Musical Start to the Semester!
Hello Blog, Let’s do the final run down of classes I’m taking for my last semester! CHEM 341: Inorganic chemistry – my final chemistry class at Wellesley! At this point, I’ve exhausted most of the chemistry classes in the department, and this is supposed to be a really fun chemistry course to end on. So far, I’m really enjoying it!…
We Are So Back.
Hello Blog, Welcome back!! After a wonderful and restful winter break at home (working on my thesis), I am officially back on campus. I’m sad to say that this is my final semester as a student at Wellesley college, and thus, this will be my last semester posting to this blog. But never fear (I say to myself), we have…
7 Semesters (almost) Down, 1 to Go…
Hello Blog, And just like that, another fall semester in the books! Fall at Wellesley is always one of my favorite times. You truly cannot beat the fall foliage in New England, and it obviously doesn’t hurt that Wellesley’s campus is beautiful. We even got our first snow of the season, though it didn’t stick for too long. Honestly, as…
Last Full Week of the Semester
Hello Blog, As the name implies, this is the full last week of classes for the fall semester. Thanksgiving break was really late this year, so the semester is rapidly coming to a close. During Thanksgiving break I went home to spend time with my family. I am usually a huge proponent of the post-Thanksgiving meal walk, but it was…
