Monday Day in my Life
Happy end of the school week! I love watching people’s day in my life videos on YouTube, so I decided to do the same here in this blog post. 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

Class registration is also this week, so I am preparing for that.…

My statistics class is taking up most of…
Take a Hike

The hiking trip was hosted by Wellesley College Recreation, part of the school’s Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics Department and organizer of outdoors trips like this. This trip was aimed at students who are beginner hikers. I learned about the event and quickly signed up online. I love…
When I’m back in Chicago, I feel it…
Happy almost April! I’m back at Wellesley after our spring break. I did not go to glamorous Miami or Cancun, but instead headed back home to Chicago; it’s basically the same thing as Miami or Cancun. Back at home, I first did a lot of shopping at malls and downtown Chicago with my family. I am doing a Wellesley-funded internship…
