Instead of a full rundown, today I want to share specific moments in a regular day of classes. 8:50am: This is when I get out of bed after my twentieth alarm goes off. After I get up, I make my bed. Then, I take my little shower caddy with my toothbrush and toothpaste and go to the communal bathroom to…

Favorite Spots on Campus
Happy Friday! Today, I want to write about some of my favorite spots on the Wellesley College campus. I’ve mentioned places I like working at, like Clapp Library and the Jewett Art Library. I want to elaborate and add more general spots on campus I enjoy. Behind the Lulu student center, there are some paths that lead to Lake Waban.…
What a Wellesley Student Eats in a Day
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of “What I eat in a day” posts on social media. So, I decided to write one for what I, a Wellesley student, eats on an average day. My breakfast depends on the weekday: if I have many classes that day, I’ll eat a full breakfast in Lulu. This week, I had a bagel and…
No Class Wednesdays
I recently posted about when my day is busy with three back-to-back classes. Now, I’ll do the opposite and give a glimpse of a day with zero classes. For me, that day is Wednesday. My schedule worked out this semester so that I don’t have any classes on Wednesdays and so far it’s really great. I try to reserve Wednesdays…
New Years Noodle Soup
Happy Friday! This past Monday was President’s Day, so we had a long weekend. I had a good weekend that I spent being with friends and doing work. One of my friends and I are big fans of Bollywood movies, so we spent Friday night watching this comedy heist movie, Happy New Year, in our dorm’s TV room. The TV…
Three Back to Back Classes
I mentioned in my first post this year that I have three back-to-back classes twice a week. There’s a ten minute passing period between each class and it’s not easy, but it’s managable and today you get a peek of my day. On those mornings, I try to eat a good breakfast because I know I won’t get to eat…
Eric and Brian Nam Talk
This past Monday, I attended a talk at school by Eric Nam and his brother Brian! If you don’t know who Eric Nam is, he’s a Korean-American singer and television personality who’s spent a lot of time in the Korean entertainment industry. I’m a big K-pop fan and I like his songs. I was pretty surprised when I saw on…
First Day of Classes Recap
Happy Friday! Two weeks have gone by very quickly and I enjoy all my classes so far; the material is interesting and I like all my professors. This weekend is going to be interesting because Massachusetts is experiencing extremely cold wind chills and temperatures tomorrow– I plan on staying in my dorm for the majority of the day. Today, I…
Winter Break and a New Semester!
Happy New Year and new semester! Spring semester began this week, though it certainly feels much colder than spring right now. It’s been snowing this week, which has slowed down my walks to classes. My winter break was very relaxing and I loved being back home. I spent the break hanging out with friends, watching TV, reading books, practicing driving…
The end of my first semester at college
I know how cliche this sounds, but I genuinely can’t believe how fast these past few months have gone by. My first semester at college is over and it felt like a blur. Obviously, a lot has happened. I’m proud of myself for getting through my classes (and I will definitely miss shadow grading) Adjusting to academics, especially the first…
