Hello readers! Hope your Fridays have started out well :). Just this morning (like, ten minutes ago) I spent much too much time trying to make a roulette on Powerpoint. You’d think there would be a program online that would let me make one—and there probably is, buried underneath all of the online gambling sites that popped up. If anyone…

A New Year
Good morning readers! There’s just SO much I want to say, and only so much I can squeeze in before my 11:10-12:20 class begins :). I’ll do my best; please forgive any odd transitions that may occur! First of all, it is great to be a junior. It’s in looking back to where I was last fall that I realize…
Good to be Back
Hello readers! It’s so great to be back at Wellesley :). Ignoring weeks when I’m studying for tests, I love the pace of life here. I’m always busy, there are always friends around, I’m learning new things every day, and I’m completely in charge of my own schedule. One of my friends was telling me that the fact that we’re…
Weird Weather and Safe Spaces
Hello readers! Man, the weather is wacky out here. My parents and I drove out to Wellesley two days ago (special treat—I usually fly), and though it might be a higher temperature in Minnesota, the humidity here is crazy! Yesterday, when most of the upperclasswomen were moving in, it was thunderstorming like there was no tomorrow, with intermittent breaks for…
Welcome Class of 2017!
Hello readers :), Let the 2013-2014 school year begin! School starts on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd for Wellesley students this year, meaning that the sophomores, juniors (that’s me!), and seniors will be arriving en masse to Wellesley this weekend! I don’t know about you, but I’m excited :). I will be continuing to blog this year for the Class of 2015,…
Glass Half Full
Hello everyone! I am back in Minnesota, sitting on the floor as per usual :). So many habits I’ve picked up this summer at my MIT frat—starting with plopping down in front of the biggest fan possible, back when we didn’t have air conditioning. And checking for toilet paper before entering the bathroom, and cleaning up after I cook something,…
Reflection
Hello readers. I’m done. Not quite in Minnesota yet—that’s not until next Saturday—but I’m done. Done with my sister and relatives’ visit, done with my summer research internship, done with neuroscience camp, done with my sophomore spring, done with wintersession, done with sophomore first semester. Winding the clock way back to August of last year, the last time I sat…
Interview #3: Erin
Hello readers! I have one week of my summer research internship left. I can’t believe how fast it has passed! On Thursday I shall present my poster at Wellesley along with the rest of the summer students… and then I’m done. How strange. However, it’s the lab’s running joke that anyone who has left the lab (we had a farewell…
Interview Number 2: Iulia
Hello readers! Hope life is treating you well :). As I mentioned last week, I’m beginning my interviews: friends from Wellesley who are kind enough to answer my questions during the summer :). I just talked to Iulia, who is my other roommate for the summer at MIT’s Theta Chi Fraternity House. She laid on the top bunk of our…
And the interviews begin…
Hello readers :). It’s hot again today: sun and a radiant sky. I’ve decided to try something different for my upcoming posts—I figure that you might all be tired of me exclaiming over how wonderful I find my life, so I hope to tell you about how other Wellesley students find theirs. I asked Alice first; we were sitting together…
