This will be my last post on the admissions blog. I’ve been doing this since my very first year and it is incredible that it is coming to an end! I didn’t know how to wrap this up. In another timeline, I probably would have posted pictures of my final days on campus. You would have lots of pictures in…

thesis done !
This will be another short update from home. I submitted my thesis! After over a year of research and preparation, I finally submitted all 88 pages of my thesis today. These last two months or so have been very difficult, therefore, the fact that I completed this project is a win for me. It’s not exactly how I wanted it,…
Harpin’ around
This is my third (fourth?) week of online classes. This week, in my art history class, we did a movement workshop. On our original syllabus, we had a class on movement with a performance artist. Since we’ve moved online, our class took place on Zoom. Going in, I was not sure what to expect but it turned out to…
week two online
This week marked the second week of online classes. I’m starting to get used to it but I will admit, it is still not ideal. Most of my professors have downsized the course in order to focus on the readings and discussion. We do not have many assignments or projects to work on. Personally, I am very happy this. Working…
work from home
I’m back after about three weeks. I have been spending the last few weeks moving out of Wellesley, moving back home and just settling myself in. All of this is still quite unbelievable, but I am making it day by day. I wanted to give you an update on what’s been going on with me. I’ve been home in New…
thesis, thesis, thesis!
I am one of the very ambitious seniors who decided to take on a thesis project. A thesis is essentially a big research project that you spend your entire senior writing and researching. It is usually on a topic related to your major. If you know me in person, you know I never stop talking about my thesis project. Not…
walking around the lake
It’s been a quiet week so this will be a shorter post. The most exciting thing I did this week was walk around the lake. Many Wellesley students will tell you that one of their favorite things about Wellesley is the Waban. The lake is one of my favorite things as well. When I was studying abroad, I always ended…
class trips are still fun in college
This past week has been a pretty mellow week. This semester being my last semester, I wanted to make sure I built in as much time for myself as possible. I chose my classes in a way that gave me Thursday and Friday off. Since the semester’s workload hasn’t really picked up yet, I spend most of my days off…
last semester!
And now begins my last semester at Wellesley. It has been a wild ride and I’m excited to see how my last semester goes. This post is going to focus on the courses I am taking. The first one is Between Nature and Culture: Francophone Caribbean Literature and the Environment. This course is cross listed in the French and Environmental…
last week of classes
Yesterday was LDOC (last day of classes) for the Fall semester. This semester has been a ride and I am glad that it is over! This was my last Fall semester at Wellesley. I keep noting these milestones as I get closer to graduation. I am a member of Yanvalou, a drum and dance group that focuses on the cultures…
