Farewell, Wellesley

I’ve documented my Wellesley experience on this blog since October of my first year. This site saw spontaneous sing-alongs in my dorm, the chaos of leaving campus in March 2020, and my reflections on returning to Wellesley at the height of covid restrictions. It saw milestones like declaring my major, getting my braces off, and finalizing my decision to spend…

I’m done with college

I spent this week having good-bye lunches, basking in the warm weather, and finishing my finals. As of Thursday, I’ve completed all the work for my bachelor’s degree. Graduation is six days away, so now is just vacation time.  My last race was on Friday. I rowed harder than I ever have, and no part of my body hurt that…

I finished my college classes!

Class ended, and off I went. It was anticlimactic.  Wednesday was food truck day. Wellesley brought in a bunch of food trucks, which…

Happy March 1 to all who celebrate

March 1 is the cruelest deadline. February is so short that March creeps up out of nowhere. I had two applications due March 1—one for a grant from Wellesley and one for an outside fellowship—and I submitted them both by Wednesday morning. Happy March 1 deadlines to all who celebrate.  Monday evening, I got in one last ski on pretty…
