To recap, I have final exams for econ, math, and art history, so I will be functioning on just coffee and a dream for the next week. As my…

Reset and jet-set to the U.S.!

Hi all, I am going home this week! I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by. December has really crept up on me. This week’s post is largely going to be a mix of random thoughts that I have had. I have been working on my final exams (all six of them) coupled with the lovely task of packing…

Finals Season

Hello everyone! It’s finally here—the last week of classes. This semester felt endless at times, and yet I still feel like I arrived on campus a few days ago. But it’s a fact that classes are almost over, and that the final exams are here. Before exams start though, we have a few days of reading period. It’s a total…

Wellesley Walks

Hi Blog, Today, we ask the age-old question: what do Wellesley students do as they walk to various locations across campus? This may seem like a strange question, but with a campus as beautiful as Wellesley’s, walks are some of my daily highlights. Whether it’s an intentional long walk around the lake or 10 minutes between classes, I like to…

Travel Diary from Abroad

Hi all, Holy moly! It’s my second to last week in Dublin! What a whirlwind the last few months have been. It only seems fitting to write a good old fashioned travel diary. Ireland has been the most beautiful place with kind, genuine and hilarious people. While I was fortunate enough to travel to other countries as well, I want…

Let me explain my Spotify Wrapped

Hello everyone! Before I start explaining my Spotify Wrapped to you, let me say that music plays a huge part of my life on campus. Whether it is when I’m walking to class with headphones on, chilling with YouTube music on in my room, or simply studying in the library with Spotify in the background, different songs play in the…

Back from Thanksgiving!

Hello Blog, Long time no talk! We’re officially in the home-stretch of the fall semester. These are the last couple full weeks of classes and then comes reading period and finals.

Study Tips from a Wellesley Student

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break! I had a great time flying back home and seeing my family, friends, and pet cat. I missed him a lot.  Now that we’re back on campus, there are only a few weeks left in the semester. This means back-to-back tests in these next couple weeks for me, which has honestly been…

Thanksgiving Break on Campus

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a nice and stress-free Thanksgiving break if you celebrate that holiday. As I am an international student, I didn’t grow up with this holiday. So, this month was only the second time I ever celebrated it. I know that the origins of this holiday are complicated, but I do think that a holiday that…
