First Fall Break
Happy Fall Break! This past weekend was fall break, meaning an extra long weekend with no classes on Monday (Indigenous Peoples Day) and Tuesday. My break started with a Saturday morning orientation for a cat shelter in town I’m volunteering at. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this yet in a blog post, but I have a pet cat back…
Hello from Post Fall Break
Hey all! Happy first few days back post-Fall break! Ah! I cannot believe that fall break was just this past week. The time just flew by! I hope that everyone is having an enjoyable end to their week. I was just thinking about how two years ago from this October I was preparing my admission essays for Wellesley! Crazy…
Fall Break in New Hampshire
Hello cool people! Fall is in full swing here at Wellesley. Along with the countless colorful leaves and trees around (and the countless pictures of them), Fall Break has also arrived on our beautiful campus. As you know, I am an international student who has never been to the US before coming to Wellesley, so, when a friend of mine…
Fall Break Update!
Greetings blog from fall break! Last week a lot happened, and I must say I feel significantly lighter now. I finished my first org midterm (phew), wrote my first (mini) paper of the semester, memorized the Queen’s Change on the carillon (the piece every concert ends with), and titrated the next point for my research lab, which is currently running…

It’s supposed to be a day to relax, have fun outside, catch up on work, whatever you want. Unfortunately, my lake day had a rough start: I woke up a bit late for my 8:30am lab. But the…

I use she/her pronouns, I’m class of 2026, and I’m an international student from Bulgaria (I feel like I have repeated the last sentence at least a couple of hundred times in the past month that I have been here, hah).…
A Rainy Wednesday
Hey all! I hope that everyone had an enjoyable rest of their past week! Today has been a rather rainy day on campus with lots of wind and not as many geese out as usual. I thought that for this post I could talk about my typical Wednesday schedule! I began my day by struggling to get out of…
Happy (belated) Lake Day!
Hello Blog! Now I’m not going to say I can tell the future… but I’m also not going to say I don’t have the power of prophecy on my side. This week (as alluded to in my last blog post) was Lake Day! On Wednesday we received an email bright and early at 7am from President Paula Johnson telling us…
A (Belated) Introduction
Hi, my name is Tenzin (she/her) and I’m a first year student at Wellesley! I apologize for my late start to blogging, and I’m excited to share my transition to Wellesley. Some background about myself: I live in Illinois and I like to think that Illinois’ winters have prepared me for the infamous Massachusetts winter everyone’s been warning me about,…
