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…
My Fall Traditions :)
Hello Blog! Yesterday was one of my favorite traditions at Wellesley – Lake Day! On one day in the fall semester, while the weather is still pretty warm, the college president will send out a surprise email saying that it is simply too beautiful outside and all classes are canceled. The Schneider Board of Governors (SBOG), our student-run campus-wise activities…
Reintroductions!
Hello Blog! Welcome to my return to blogging! I assume most of you are new readers, so it seems only appropriate to reintroduce myself. My name is Jade, I’m a current junior at Wellesley (go green class!), and I’m originally from Massachusetts – only 30 minutes away from Wellesley. I’m a big fan of all the trees we have in…
End of Semester Sprint
Hello Blog! As the semester comes to an end, it seems like everything is happening in a blur. I’ll be honest, when the semester starts speeding up, I start to lose all perception of time. From courses steamrolling ahead to the end, ensembles preparing for final performances and exhibitions, and just the quantity of on-campus events to attend, it can…
Life’s So Fun!!! (Spring Weekend Recap)
Hello Blog, As promised, here is your Spring Weekend / Marathon Monday recap: Wellesley College edition. The entire weekend was a highlight of my spring semester, so let’s go by it day by day. Friday: First, I got to see the actual physical bells in the bell tower! I play the carillon as a part of the Guild…
Culinary Pursuits (+ Welcome to Wellesley!!!)
Hello Blog! This is a very exciting few weeks at Wellesley for many reasons. First, and most likely applicable to readers of this blog, it’s admitted students weekend! I am working both weekends giving tours, so please say hi! Last weekend was a blast, and this weekend should be too. I talked to so many prospective students (and committed students…
