Hi Blog Readers, today I am writing about a frequently-asked question—what is it like taking MIT classes? This semester, I am cross-registering to take an MIT course about entrepreneurship.

Religious Life at Wellesley
Hi Blog Readers! Today, I want to write about a topic I have not discussed before on the blog—religious life for students here at Wellesley. I think there are two main ways to engage with religious and spiritual life at Wellesley. Firstly, there is the college’s Office of Religious and Spiritual Life (ORSL). ORSL has Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim,…
Fall Break in New York 🍁
Hi Blog Readers! This past weekend was fall break. Fall break at Wellesley is a long weekend every year in mid-October where we do not have classes on the Monday (Indigenous Peoples’ Day) and Tuesday. Combined with the weekend, that is four days off. Wellesley students like to use fall break to travel, rest, and catch up on schoolwork. During…
So You’re Moving Into Wellesley
Hi Blog Readers! In my summer recap post two weeks ago, I mentioned at the end that I moved back to campus early to be here for orientation and training for my job as an Academic Success Coach. Being around for orientation this year and seeing first-year students move into their dorms made me nostalgic and reminisce about my own…

End of Junior Year and Advice 😿
Happy end of the school year! I cannot believe that this is my last blog post of junior year. This year has been great and has gone by incredibly fast. As with any school year, it has had its ups and downs: it has been academically challenging, and managing three jobs has not been easy. But, I have learned so…
My First Full Lake Path Walk!
Happy almost end-of-semester! This will be my penultimate blog post this semester, and the last week of classes is coming up. The past few weeks have been hectic – exams, projects, and the Boston Marathon last Monday. During this hecticness, I was able to go on my first full lake path walk last weekend! The lake path is the path…
What to do for fun at Wellesley
Hello Blog! Last week, I wrote about my experience living in dorms at Wellesley—a top question on the mind of prospective students—and this week I will answer another top question: what do Wellesley students do for fun in their free time? Firstly for on-campus events and fun, Wellesley departments, offices, or organizations are usually hosting something every week. This month,…
