Forward Facing

Here at Wellesley, classes…
Status Update
Happy almost-end of semester! I say this every year, but genuinely this fall went by sooo fast. I flew back home last week for Thanksgiving break and had an awesome time being back with my family. My aunt also stayed with us, and I saw some of my best friends! Now, we just have a few weeks left in the…
Best Study Spots
Hey Blog and happy almost-Thanksgiving break! Today, I am listing some of my favorite study spots on Wellesley’s campus.

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…

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…
