At the end of my tours I always give my “Why Wellesley” spiel. I try not to keep it concise but informative because if I drag it on at the end of the tour people tend to zone out. But this being my final blog I want to give a more in depth explanation with photos to really paint the…

Friends and food—the perfect combo!
Hello beautiful people, Culture is important, and my friend, Sophie, chose to share a part of hers with me through food! Last week, we went to Hungry Pot for Korean hot pot, just a 12 minute ride from Wellesley! I highly recommend this restaurant; it felt like an immersive Korean cultural culinary experience, as we essentially cooked our own food!…
I’m a twin!
Hello again! Back with another blog post, and this time I thought I’d delve into some introspection after a conversation I just had with one of the counselors from the Office of Admission about our similar upbringings. We’re both twins, sharing the unique duality of being an individual while constantly seen as part of a pair. This sparked an interesting…
New Month – New Goals!!!
Hello beautiful people, Happy new month! The countdown before the first day of classes (FDOC) has officially begun!!

NEW YORK CITY

The Playlist that carried me through the semester!
Hello beautiful people, “One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain” – Bob Marley. Whenever I put my airpods in, I get into my zone. Music has become my superpower, charging me with the motivation and strength to conquer every day. One song in particular is meaningful to me: the 2019 Soca hit song Famalay (Family)…
Poke, Poi, and Parties in Hawai’i
Hello!! Back again after a little blog hiatus, but I’ve got a lot to write about now! I just returned from my short but very packed vacation in Honolulu, Hawai’i, where I spent seven days staying at my grandma’s house (and my dad’s childhood home!) in Hawai’i Kai, spending time with family, at my favorite beaches, and eating way too…
East Coast Summer on Top
This may come as a surprise but as someone from SoCal, I really appreciate the East Coast summer. Although it is not always crystal clear water with 5 foot waves, it is beautiful in a different way. I spent this past weekend in Cape Cod visiting my friend Julia for a weekend get away. I took the Cape Flyer, an…
