Hello readers 🙂 I think I have a faulty understanding of what it means to be a college student, because for the past three days I have felt more like a college student than any other time I’ve spent at Wellesley. For these past three days, I have been competing as a varsity athlete at MIT, staying in a hotel,…

Eeee! Snow :)
Hello readers 🙂 I don’t know if you’ve heard… (of course you’ve heard!) but we had a SNOW DAY on Friday! Wellesley College doesn’t close for 27 years, and then it closes twice in one year! I hear the weatherman in Minnesota (where I’m from) is quite jealous of our blizzard. From Friday to Sunday noon, there was no transportation…
We Are On Our Way
Hello readers :). My sister kindly pointed out to me that I use emoticons in every paragraph, whether the paragraph is four sentences or one, but I seem incapable of breaking the habit :). On the other hand, I have found someone who uses more emoticons than I do! Professor Nick Doe, who is my lab instructor for Chemistry 212,…
Back to Insanity!
Hello readers… SCHOOL STARTED! It’s weird having to share the campus again, but great to have Wellesley fully up and running. I am just ridiculously pleased to have a schedule, especially an awesome schedule where I’m excited for all of the classes! Of course, my life is insanely busy right now (I always think it’s insane, and then it goes…
At the End of the Day
Hello readers! Hope you’re all doing well :). I am in the throws of navigating a particularly tricky doctor’s appointment in Boston: first the commuter rail was delayed, then the red line was delayed, then there was a fire at Arlington and the green line completely shut down. I love public transportation, and in the end the city got us…
Time of Decisions
Hello readers, Man, I feel like it’s been such a long time since I’ve sat down to write. For a period when school isn’t in session, I’ve sure managed to keep myself busy! Along with the rest of the swim team, now’s prime time for applications, so I’ve been seeking out opportunities and heading down to the CWS (Wellesley’s Center…
Puerto Rico 2012-2013
Hey readers 🙂 So I’ve got a nasty cold from Puerto Rico, and thus feel the need to nap incessantly. Not to mention, we had practice this morning and a meet against Coast Guard and Babson this afternoon, so I need to be at my best possible! Nonetheless, I bring you my photo blog of the Wellesley Swim and Dive…
Sand and Palm Trees
Hello readers! At this moment, I am sitting on the floor of a beautiful hotel, wearing a bathing suit in sunny Puerto Rico. It’s that time of year: Wellesley Swim and Dive training trip! I arrived back at Wellesley on Thursday morning, when our double practices began. During Wintersession, varsity teams that are in-season (right now swimming and basketball are…
Between Homes
I like airports. I like how everyone has a purpose, and everyone is working toward the same purpose. I like how there are so many different types of people, and how few are impatient because there’s a system and you don’t need to do anything. I like how there are obvious signs and food and places to sit. I like…
Thank You
Hello readers :). It is once again Wednesday (or is it Tuesday? Or Friday? Tiffany has been asserting that it’s been Friday since Monday)… and besides the pervasive confusion about dates, my life is pretty much perfect. When I was leaving for college, everyone always told me it’d be the best years of my life. And college life is marvelous,…
