Good afternoon, readers :). It is my time of the year. After classes end (which they did yesterday), Wellesley holds “reading period,” a time when the whole campus is silent as people study for finals. It is a time to review everything that we learned over the past semester, not worry about assignments and due dates, and just sit down…

Raindrops on Roses
Wellesley understands sunlight. Its students hail from near and far, from the sunny reaches of California to the other side of the world. We come from all environments and expect our weather, but our weather becomes Boston’s as soon as we arrive. Boston weather is humid, often grey, with more rain and heat than in my native state. But the…
The Learning Cycle
Hello everyone! Hope you all had great Thanksgivings :). I was fortunate enough to be able to go home over break, and had a wonderful time. I maintain that I am much less serious when I am at home—probably because my family thinks themselves hilarious (we amuse ourselves greatly) and also that I left most of my homework at Wellesley…
A Sum of Things
Hello 🙂 I am tired of thinking about and writing about stress. And so, dear readers, you get a list of what I love about college. It may be hard work, but it is wonderful all the same :). I love when I’m in psych class, and we’re talking about decision-making, and we’re learning about concepts that I read about…
Transient Snow
Afternoon, everyone! It is rather cold and blustery here, and I think I even spotted some transient snow on the way over! This is why I am currently hidden away on the fourth floor of the Science Center, in the Psych department—it pays to know the building well enough to know where it is warm :). Anyway, I’m sorry to…
Having Fun :)
Hey everyone, Wishing you well from Wellesley! This week has been a pretty chill week for me, and I got to attend some excellent events, like yesterday night’s Lip Sync competition! However, I won’t talk about that quite yet, as this week I’m starting off from last Thursday (ah, chronological order… just like old times :)). Thursday morning, I received…
My 50th Blog
Hello hello! It is a beautiful day outside, and as my chemistry Professor Hearn remarks, the peak of sunset-colored leaves. And though I’m reasonably sure that you don’t read this blog for the weekly weather updates, the gorgeous day has everyone in high spirits :). It matches my mood too, since I only have one midterm this week (Neuro’s tomorrow! I’m excited)…
‘Tis Fall
Hello everyone 🙂 Best wishes for a rainy Wednesday! Today is Lake Day too, which is one of Wellesley’s traditions. Historically, select Wellesley students would chalk on our sidewalks during the night, so that when campus woke up, everyone discovered that classes and activities were cancelled! The date of Lake Day was kept very secret, and depended partly on when…
Loony Lovegood (/Gates. If only my name started with an L!)
Hey dudes! It is a wonderfully misty Wednesday, smack in the middle of our two-week Midterm period, so forgive me for being a little loopy :). Due to mentioned loopiness, I will not be delivering a thoughtful post this week… instead, prepare yourself for one of my easiest posts: the daily (ah, make that weekly) life of a Wellesley College…
Here We Are
Good afternoon everyone 🙂 Hope you all are having a good Wednesday! Hump day, as it were; it’s so much easier to wish everyone a happy Friday afternoon (as I did last year), than in the middle of the week :). But hopefully everything’s progressing along nicely in your lives! All right, now down to business! 😉 This week’s post…
