Hello Blog, And just like that, we’re back for another semester! We’re officially two weeks into the semester, and things are already picking up. Here’s how I’ve been filling my time thus far: It’s application season! I’ve been spending a lot of time applying to research opportunities for this summer. The past two summers I’ve been at Wellesley doing (paid!)…

Not Goodbye, Just See You Later (For Real!)
Hello Blog, Just like that, another semester comes to a close. It’s wild to think that I am officially more than halfway done with college. But, of course, I’m not done yet! I have a bit of an abnormal finals situation this semester, so I’ll talk a little about how Wellesley finals are unique and my plans to finish the…
Wellesley Walks
Hi Blog, Today, we ask the age-old question: what do Wellesley students do as they walk to various locations across campus? This may seem like a strange question, but with a campus as beautiful as Wellesley’s, walks are some of my daily highlights. Whether it’s an intentional long walk around the lake or 10 minutes between classes, I like to…
Back from Thanksgiving!
Hello Blog, Long time no talk! We’re officially in the home-stretch of the fall semester. These are the last couple full weeks of classes and then comes reading period and finals. It tends to be a very busy time of the semester because classes are wrapping up and finals prep is beginning. But before we get into that, let me…
WC (Wellesley College): Welcome to My Crib
Hello Blog, That’s right. It’s dorm tour time. This year, I’m living in a single in Pomeroy (Pom) Hall. This means for the first time in my Wellesley experience I am without my former roomie and dear friend Anabelle </3. It’s all good though, because she has her own single in the next dorm over (Munger) where most of my…
Halloweekend Recap 🎃🕸🍬
Hello Blog, Happy belated Halloween! This past weekend, appropriately named “Halloweekend,” was full of festivities at Wellesley. Starting on Thursday, there was Zombie Party, hosted by WZLY (our radio station and biggest on-campus org). Despite its name, not everyone has to dress as zombies. Last year my friends and I went as “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” from the iconic Food…
Recharging… 🔋😁🧘♀️
Hello Blog, Surprise – I took my exam, turned in my paper, and survived my performance! The work truly always gets done. Now that I’ve made it out the other side, this week has been pretty chill! On Friday, we had a carillon masterclass with a professor of carillon from another college. I played a movement of the Bach cello…
Midterms Season 😦 (don’t panic!)
Hi Blog, I will not lie, I have been a bit stressed recently. It’s officially midterms season at Wellesley, so the work is really picking up. I have 3 big things coming up this week: my first CHEM 330 (physical chemistry) exam, my first REL 106 (queer bible) paper, and a solo cello performance at friends and family weekend for…
Fall Break Recap
Hello Blog, We’re having an especially short week here at Wellesley College because we’re coming off of Fall Break (a four day weekend). I had a pretty chill Fall Break myself, but I thought I’d do a recap here. On Friday, I went to the Boston Ballet with my friend (and former roommate) Anabelle. For her birthday, I got us…
A Day in My Life
Hello Blog, Happy T-minus 2 days to Fall Break! I received an email from a prospective student last week asking about what a typical day in my life looks like, so I thought I’d make a whole blog post about it (with some additional details, of course). Things have been pretty busy, so strap in! I usually wake up about…
