Hello Blog, Happy Spring Break! I am preemptively writing this as a way to manifest that I finish the monster of a problem set that I’m currently working on for physical chemistry. For most of the people in the course, we all took calculus virtually in high school during COVID, so we’re reaching pretty far back in our foundational math…

Midterms Season (but not for me 🙏)
Hello Blog, The couple of weeks before spring break are usually pretty busy in college, but I’m in the strange position this year where it’s quite the opposite! The first 6 weeks of the semester went by in a blur, and now I feel like I get to chug along at a normal pace. A lot of my friends are…
Back in the Swing of Things!
Hello Blog, In a weird way, this feels like one of my first normal weeks back on campus. The 1st week of classes is always an adjustment, my 2nd week I was grinding out summer internship applications, my 3rd week I was preparing for my conference, my 4th week I was at the conference, and my 5th week (last week)…
My First Conference!
Hello Blog, Apologies for my absence – I’ve recently returned from my first scientific conference, so I was off-campus for a bit! I spent 5 whole days in Philadelphia for the Biophysical Society’s Annual Meeting. One thing about Wellesley classes is that students definitely attend, so I was a bit nervous about missing class, but my professors really worked with…
Welcome Back!
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…
