What do Wellesley Students do for Spring Break?
Hello Blog! Welcome to your Wellesley college spring break recap. In this post, I’ll be taking you through what some of my friends did for spring break now that everyone is back on campus and I have heard all of their tales!

Home Stretch
Hello Blog! It’s the last week before spring break! Luckily, I actually don’t have a lot of midterms this week – just have the normal amount of problem sets and readings due.

Work Hard Play Hard 😤
Hello Blog! This is the week. I’ve been gearing up for a presentation in my research lab for the past few weeks (and let’s be honest, the past 8 months I’ve been in the lab), and it’s happening on Friday! This is a presentation essentially summarizing the research I’ve been involved with since I joined the lab as well as…
Highs and Low Temperatures
Hello Blog! This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind. My Google Calendar has had very few vacant blocks, which is just a testament to how quickly the semester begins! All of my classes are in full swing, my music rehearsals and lessons have begun, and I’m back to working in the Admission Office (giving tours!). Here’s a…
Courses, Chromatography, and Carillon!
Hello Blog! I’ll start by an official run down of my courses this semester as promised: CHEM 212: otherwise known as orgo II. I really ended up loving orgo last semester, so I’m excited to continue this semester! A lot of what the course covers actually relates directly to the techniques I use in my research lab, so I’m looking…
