Hello Blog, It’s a busy time here at Wellesley! Tuesday was the Tanner Conference, one of the two Wellesley-hosted conferences where students can present on the cool work they’re doing. Typically, people talk about their summer experiential learning experiences, so I gave a Tanner on my experience doing research at Caltech. It’s a really fun day because classes are canceled…

Eat the Menu: Wellesley College Edition
Hi Blog, We’re going to do something a little different this week! I am going to show you some of my favorite meals so far from the dining halls on campus (with my sub-par food photography skills). At Wellesley, there are 4 different main dining halls, 2 cafes, and a few student-run co-ops. Most dining halls are either very close…
(Final) Fall Break Recap
Hello Blog, I promised sentimentality this year, so here it comes. This was my last Wellesley College Fall Break! I guess every break from now on will be my last official “Wellesley College” break. Technically, this is my last 7th week of the fall semester. Anyway, fall break was this past weekend. Turns out, New York City was the popular…
1 Month Down!
Hello Blog, In the words of Maisie Peters (a musical artist who just came to Boston on tour), “I wake up and it’s October.” Even though this is only my second blog, I’ve been back at Wellesley for a full month now! Let’s recap what has happened so far: Classes are back in full swing! Something a bit new this…
Senior Year Reintroductions!
Hello Blog, Welcome back to another (and final </3) year of reading my Wellesley blogs! For a quick round of reintroductions: my name is Jade, I’m officially a senior at Wellesley College (go green class!), I’m a chemistry major and a music minor, and I do a few things on campus, namely being the president of the chamber music society…
Goodbye Blog (just for now!)
Hi Blog, Well, here we are. The end of another year at Wellesley College. I’m having so many feelings about almost being a senior. 3 years genuinely go by so quickly. Last year around this time I was reflecting on what it meant that I was halfway done with college. Now it’s time to reflect on my junior year at…
The Best Weekend of the Year.
Hi Blog, Get ready for a recap of the best weekend of the year – Spring Weekend! This is the weekend of the Boston Marathon, and the energy on campus is incredible. This year, the weather cleared up just in time. It may not have been the best conditions for runners… but it was sunny and warm all weekend for…
The Moon, Music, and Marathon Preparations
Hello Blog, It’s been a very exciting past week on campus! After some seasonally confusing sleet/snow last week, the groundhog seems to have finally wrangled the weather to be much nicer. We’ve had lots of sun recently! I keep seeing videos on social media about how colleges start to “college” when the weather gets nicer, and this couldn’t be more…
Junior Recital Loading… 🎶🤭
Hello Blog, As expected, I made it through the weekend! I cannot say I had the most exciting past few days because I was taking the exams I mentioned previously, but it’s all about balance. I spent most of spring break out and about, so it makes sense that I had a weekend with a bit heavier of a workload…
Spring Break Recap
Hello blog, Long time no talk! I’m back from spring break and ready to take on the final six weeks of the semester. I had one of my best spring breaks yet! Usually, I just take some time off to relax at home with my family before coming back to campus. This time, though, I did that for the first…
