Hello everyone! I’d like to start out with some happy news: registration is over! While it was very fun to choose my classes, planning out what would happen if I didn’t get into my classes was much less fun. And then there was the stress of logging on Thursday morning at 8am and typing in course numbers as fast as…

November dawns
Good afternoon :). I say this with a smile because I, Monica Gates, have completed round two of midterms! Muhahaha! (Old trait from high school. You may ignore the cackling.) After finishing up my math and chemistry tests on Wednesday and Thursday, I am (yet again) behind in everything else, but am pleased to be done studying! Studying can be…
And the Weather Outside is Frightful…
Hello wonderful people out there! Since I feel like giving your brains a challenge today, I’m going to mix it up. Ie, go chronologically backwards. Big deal, I know. In other words, I have a really hard time remembering things from last week (I’ve had to start writing things down), so backward progression: here we come! Just before I came…
My Consummate College Experience (cont.)
Hello everyone! Not much has happened this week! (Except for last Friday when I had an awesome time with my recruit, Erin, and we stayed up until late talking with Tiffany in my room. We also ate real tangerines, due to Tiffany’s inside sources. It was fantastic and I highly recommend hosting.) I’m also pleased that this was a pretty…
Back in the Groove
Hello everyone! Guess what I just heard? This weekend is recruit weekend (and general prospie [prospective student] weekend—yay for those who are hosting!) and one of the recruits we have here (Elly) has told me that she read my blog before coming. This pleases me immensely. I’m of use to people! But enough of self-laudatory nonsense. I’ll get right down…
Fall Break is here!
Hello! Guess who finished her midterms and essays? *Monica raises her hand excitedly.* Guess who also is behind on reading due to studying for said midterms and writing said essays? *Monica waves her hand around wildly.* And that’s where I stand at the end of this long week! Thus I am super psyched about Fall Break (we get Monday and…
Home stretch! (ish)
Well, this is actually totally not the home stretch, but weeks last forever here! So much to do. Especially during Midterms weeks, which are this week and the next for most of us. Since I just came from high school, I had no idea how tests work here. Turns out, unlike in high school where we have periodic unit tests,…
Busy busy busy!
It’s been such a long week! It’s so strange to realize I’ve been here just a month. And yet I feel that a month is all that’s needed to get the rhythm down. I know where all my classes are (even the tricky ones like Chem that switch classrooms every other day), I know the names of all my professors…
Hello! Monica here.
Hello! My name is Monica Gates, and I’m a first-year here at Wellesley College. I was selected to write this blog (in recognition of my whole class—now that’s daunting!) and I can’t wait to get started! First for some background on me, before we go crazy with all the activities that consume one from the first day of school… I…
