Today, I want to describe the main student organizations, or clubs, that I am involved with on campus: WZLY WZLY is Wellesley’s student radio and also reportedly the largest student organization at Wellesley by membership. I am…

Destressing as a Wellesley Student: Zinemaking
Happy Friday! I want to use this post to quickly reflect on one of my new favorite ways to destress as a student: making zines! If you do not know what zines are, they are like collages of text and images that have historical roots in activism and marginalized communities. Wellesley’s main library, Clapp Library, is currently under renovation and…
Building Independence
Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a fun and safe day. Today, I want to reflect on something not-so-spooky: building independence in college. Like many, coming to Wellesley is my first time fully living away from home. I live in Illinois, so I am a couple states away from my family. Up until Wellesley, I had only been away from…
Walking Around Wellesley
Happy Thursday! Today, I want to write about what takes up a lot of time in the day of the Wellesley student: walking around campus. Wellesley’s campus is on the smaller side of college campuses. The walk from my east side dorm to the west side Keohane Sports Center takes me about fifteen minutes. Students mostly walk around the campus…
Rhode Islander for a Weekend
Happy Friday! Today, I will recap my past fall break in Rhode Island. Fall break is a long weekend here every October, with no classes on Monday for Indigenous Peoples’ Day and no classes the following day. This fall break, I visited one of my childhood best friends at her school, the University of Rhode Island (URI). Saturday morning, I…

Today, I will go through what an average Monday—the busiest day of my week—looks like for me this semester. This semester, most of my classes are in the late afternoon. On…
Interning in India
Happy end of the school week! I will recap my recent summer internship abroad in India. Through Wellesley’s Lulu Chow Wang ’66 Center for Career Education, I completed a Global Signature Internship at a think tank in Mumbai, India. So, I received this opportunity and $5,000 in funding to go abroad from Wellesley. If you want to learn more about…
Reintroducing myself!
Hi all! My name is Tenzin, and I am a junior, or a third year student, at Wellesley. I have been blogging for the Wellesley Student Blog since my first semester here, which is insane to think about… But, I will be using this post as a reintroduction and to update on what I am doing this fall semester. I…
Winding Down
This is my last blog post of the semester! My sophomore year at Wellesley is really almost at an end. Next Wednesday is the last day of classes here. Then, reading period begins, which is our preparation period for finals. This semester, I have a final exam for my computer science class and final projects and papers for my statistics,…
Looking Ahead
I cannot believe the semester is almost over. We have two weeks left of classes before finals here at Wellesley! The Boston Marathon, called MarMon here, was this week, and I had a lot of fun cheering the runners on; we were blessed with super sunny weather too. Class registration is also this week, so I am preparing for that.…
