Today, I want to discuss the literal tools we use to work here at Wellesley. I am referring to iPads, laptops, Surface Pros, pen and paper, and other work devices! Starting off, I want to dispel a myth: you do NOT need an iPad to do schoolwork in college. I myself do not have an iPad and successfully take notes…

Lacrosse Season Incoming!
Hi all, Woohoo, another week of February in the books! Here at Wellesley, we had a long weekend due to the President’s Day holiday, but I am certain this “short” week will likely feel even longer than a typical week! As we (almost) close out this month of February, the lacrosse team and I will have our first game this…
Celebrating Traditions at College
Last weekend was Tibetan New Year, my second one away from home. Today, I want to talk about how I’ve celebrated this tradition at college and what celebrating traditions away from home is like at Wellesley. I am super fortunate to know other Tibetan students here at Wellesley and have a small community with them. To celebrate the new year,…
Sitting in a College Class
Hi everyone! I know that many of you are probably wondering how going to a college class feels like at Wellesley, what your relationship with your classmates is in college, and how to talk to your professors. So, I thought I would share my experience with those things at Wellesley. I don’t know if it’s just me and my experience…
A Wellesley Winter Wonderland
Hi all, It is a new week with the chance for each day to be a success! Here at Wellesley, we are supposed to be having a fairly large snowstorm today despite the unseasonably warm weather earlier in the week. For those reading who are not from the New England area, I thought it would only be appropriate to talk…
New Semester, New Me
Happy spring semester! It’s a new year, new semester, and I’m feeling optimistic. Spring is my favorite time at Wellesley: the weather slowly gets warmer, it no longer gets dark at four pm, and there’s the promise of summer not so far away. I had a hectic but enjoyable winter break. I headed back home and went on an overnight…
Spring Semester Round Up
Hi all, WOW! It has been a year since we last chatted! (Haha, get it 😆) But really, I have missed chatting with you all. I figured we could do a good old fashioned get to know me post with some updated course schedules and what it is like to now be in season for lacrosse! As for my academics,…
Welcome Back!
Hello Blog, And just like that, we’re back for another semester! We’re officially two weeks into the semester, and things are already picking up. Here’s how I’ve been filling my time thus far: It’s application season! I’ve been spending a lot of time applying to research opportunities for this summer. The past two summers I’ve been at Wellesley doing (paid!)…
Winter Break and First Two Weeks Back on Campus
Hi everyone! Winter break ended two weeks ago, and I’m officially back in academic mode. I absolutely loved winter break. I went back home to Bulgaria, and I slept a lot. With the stress around finals season last semester, I didn’t sleep a lot, so I was really excited to sleep during the break. I saw a lot of my…
Not Goodbye, Just See You Later (For Real!)
Hello Blog, Just like that, another semester comes to a close. It’s wild to think that I am officially more than halfway done with college. But, of course, I’m not done yet! I have a bit of an abnormal finals situation this semester, so I’ll talk a little about how Wellesley finals are unique and my plans to finish the…
