Hello everybody! Okay, so I know that it is Thanksgiving and Christmas shouldn’t be on my mind yet. But I’m not American, so I don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving, and I really love Christmas. So, I will start writing about it right now! Yesterday, I spent the whole day in Boston with some friends. We went to the Boston Public Library,…

POV: You’re a first year registering for spring courses
Last week was spring course registration! As a first year, our registration was the last slot of Friday. This made me worried that the courses I wanted to take would fill up before then; all week I kept an eye on those courses and hoped there would be seats left. My first semester at Wellesley is shadow graded, meaning my…
To “Turkey Trot” or not?
Hey all! I hope that everyone has had a great week. Here on campus the weather has finally shifted from high seventies to chilly mid thirties which I very much prefer. It is finally beginning to feel like fall! We even had our first snow flurries last night. I am from Connecticut so snow is not an uncommon thing…
Boston and Birthday Parties
Hello dear readers! I’m writing this on a Monday, in between classes on my roommate’s birthday. She turned 18 today, so last night with some friends we organized a surprise mini-midnight party for her. We went shopping in Target on Saturday and we got her a cake and birthday decorations (by the way, the theme for the party was dinosaurs,…
The last full week before Thanksgiving break!
Hello Blog! Very exciting announcement to start us off: I am now a junior member of the Guild of Carillonneurs! I had my advancement on Friday, played my very first concert on the big bells, and successfully spelled the word carillonneur. Now that I’m no longer an apprentice, I can play my pieces for the rest of campus whenever I…
Visiting the MFA
Last Saturday afternoon, my friend and I visited the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston. For my Greco-Roman archaeology class, this week’s homework assignment was to visit the MFA and take notes on some artifacts. I was excited for this visit because I really liked the Harvard Art Museum (shoutout fall break blog post) and I think this class…
Fall Views From the Bell Tower :)
Hi Blog! I hope you’re enjoying these cover photos at the beginning of each of my posts. This is the view I have from one of the top windows in the bell tower. I take pictures almost every time I go up there (I need to make the quantity of stairs worth it), so it’s been really lovely to see…
Midterm Week!
Hey all! It is midterm season here! Both election wise and academically, midterms are upon us and have been a huge use of time this past week. Trying to power through this week and wishing luck to everyone taking exams or possibly finishing up their college admissions applications! Regardless, fall is the best time of year and despite the…
Around Lake Waban
Lake Waban is definitely one of the prettiest sights on campus, and also something you probably have heard a lot about while applying to Wellesley. Seeing the lake from your dorm room is definitely something we brag about around here (I have a really pretty view of the lake from my room, which almost makes up for the small room). …
Happy Halloween
Happy late Halloween! Last year, I remember my Halloween weekend being consumed by double, triple, and quadruple checking my college applications. I am glad that Halloween was different this year. After Halloweekend, I was grateful to have a more relaxed Monday. I attended class and enjoyed walking around campus afterwards because the weather was weirdly pretty nice for the end…
