Good morning readers! Hope all is well! I survived my crazy week, plus today’s my birthday, so I’m suitably delighted :). Moreover, I even had a pre-birthday celebration, since Alice bought me cake and earrings last night! I took the remains to the Science Center, and there were many shenanigans that went on there…. I have even more great pictures…

Welcome :)
Hello readers! Campus is buzzing. I didn’t think so yesterday, when the Science Center was empty even for a Sunday afternoon, but then I walked into Bates Dining Hall and thought “there they all are!” It’s Spring Open Campus (SOC), and many of you, our prospective students, have arrived en masse! We’re so excited to see you. Not only do…
Can you feel the river?
** Later addition: To the people who were at the finish line at the end of the Boston Marathon today: you have my and the Wellesley community’s thoughts and best wishes. There were bombings, and though news is continuing to leak out, there were two people killed and thirty injured at the last post I saw. At this moment President…
‘Ze Prospies! ‘Ze Prospies!
Hello readers! I hope you’re all doing well. I’m in a ridiculously chipper mood this morning, especially since school is kicking my butt. Let me tell you about my upcoming schedule, and then that will hopefully mesh seamlessly (crossing my fingers! Writing’s funny sometimes :)) into my focus topic for this week: choosing a college! As weeks go, this one’s…
Projects, Wellesley, and a Reflection
Good morning readers! Guess what this week’s post is: SCHOOL PROJECTS! This is good news for me, because the vast majority of my time is spent “doing” school. An interesting question is what the verb is when one is in school, but that’s a debate for another time :). This past week has been quite a busy one for me.…
Back on the Mission!
Hello readers 🙂 Hope you are all well! I’m currently on a plane—which is usually cause for worry, as my plane blogs tend to be a bit gloomy :). However, as the blog at the end of spring break, it’s hard not to be cheerful. I just spent an entire week with three of my friends, and a lot…
Friends and Family
Hello readers :). Hope you’re all doing well! Friday at 4 pm was the start of my spring break, and it’s amazing just to have some time to sit by myself and listen to the voices in my own head. I’m sure we all have internal monologues going on, but mine is particularly loud, so I like to let it…
Our Magic
Hello readers 🙂 Last week was a bit hectic, what with two exams on Friday, and this week proves to be busy as well. But spring break is just a week away; sentiments of this sort are scrawled across whiteboards all around campus :). My first challenge for the week is to interview for the Beckman scholarship. This is a…
Alumni and Eyetrackers
Hello readers! Oof, it’s set out to be a busy two weeks! I’ve finally hit mid-term season (which happened to a bunch of my friends last week—I don’t envy them), this Friday’s my organic chemistry midterm, and next week are my computer science and neuroscience midterms. As such, my days are getting planned by the hour so that I can…
A Day in the Life
So what’s it like to be a Wellesley student? It differs based on the day, the time, when I last talked to someone, if I’ve been working. What I’m eating, when the tests are, hours of sleep, presence of friends. Morning sunshine, assignments due, swimming workouts, smiles. There’s a lot that it’s like to be a Wellesley student, and that’s…
