Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today was my second day of training for my new job at the Computing Help Desk, and I’ve been starting to feel the effects of stretching myself thin. It feels like my classwork has been piling up higher and higher and I have no chance to reach the bottom of the pile. To combat…

The Fire of September
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This is the first real week of classes, and I’m beginning to realize that I really need to straighten out my priorities if I want to do everything that I want to do on campus; I’m taking five classes, working three jobs, and participating in a music ensemble this semester, which is quite a…

First Week Jitters
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day of classes here at Wellesley; I had my first French class this morning and this afternoon I will be attending my very first in person convocation ceremony, which I am very excited about. I’m not entirely sure what exactly a convocation is, but I’ll be sure to update you…

Life is Art. Art is Life: Lessons for a Meaningful in Life from Art
This is my final blog post at Wellesley College ever. Instead of a traditional reflection post, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite paper submissions. I wrote this paper for my Philosophy Seminar on the Meaning of Life and thought it summed up what I learned at Wellesley quite well. I’m still in disbelief that it’s all…
The End (For Now)
Hello blog, and happy last blog of the year! This post is coming in late because I’ve been thinking about what I want to say for a week now and I’m still having trouble finding the right words. I thought for a little bit about just ending with last week’s post, but I think that a wrap up is…

The Penultimate Post of My First Year
Hello, blog! As you might be able to tell by the lateness of this post, it’s been quite a week. Actually, that might not be true. This week really hasn’t been more of a week than any other week this year, but I think that when you add all of the weeks that came before this week to the…

Crossing Things Off My To-Do List
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! This week has been the week of finally getting around to things, which means that I’ve been super productive and have done many things that I can tell you all about. Go me! The first big thing I got out of the way this week was probably the most exciting: I got my…

Mission: Registration
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! I am proud to announce that as of 8:01 this morning, I am officially registered for my sophomore fall semester classes. As per the norm, my Twitter feed has been filled with students panicking over saved schedules, wait lists, and back up courses for the past week. Personally, I’ve never had any major difficulties on…

East Bound and Down
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! As I write this post, I am sitting in the Snuggle Cave absolutely soaking wet and very chilly from a trip down to the Ville in the rain to pick up a prescription and some Sesame Street band-aids. After I write this blog post, I have a long and very important to-do list to…
