Hi everyone! As you may already know if you read my first blog for the semester, I live in Stone-Davis this year, which is also exactly where I wanted to end up in my last year at Wellesley. I absolutely believe that all residential halls are great in their own ways: the new dorms (Bates, Freeman, McAfee) have some of…

Studying, singing, and fire alarms
Hi everyone! Somehow we are already four weeks into the semester, and yet I feel like I just came back to Wellesley yesterday. I have been super busy with my classes and my thesis, but I have also really been enjoying them. My PHYS 304 class has been taking up a lot of my time for the past few weeks,…
Hello hello hello!
Hi everyone! I’m back back back again blogging this semester! This is my fourth year doing this, so it’s very bittersweet starting this journey for one last time. But let me reintroduce myself first. My name is Vyara (she/her pronouns), and I’m a senior at Wellesley, majoring in physics and minoring in math. I’m an international student from Bulgaria, and…
Goodbye (for now)!
Hi everyone! It’s the last week of classes, honk, honk! The weather is great, the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing…and exams are coming. I am honestly enjoying the warm weather so much that I am a little behind on homework right now, but I should be able to catch up by LDOC, the last day of classes. I…
Spring Weekend!!! 🐸
Hellooooo everyone! It’s time for most Wellesley students’ favorite time of the year at Wellesley—Spring Weekend! It’s a whole weekend + the Friday and Monday around it where there are lots and lots of fun springy events on campus.

The whole day is really exciting—classes are canceled, there are numerous presentations by students ranging from a few minutes to an hour, a poster session, and much…
Go Red Sox?
Hello everybody! New week, same old me. Let me start this blog with even MORE daffodils photos (yes, I am a superfan). There has been so much going on on campus and around Boston recently that I feel like I have barely had a minute to relax this past weekend. On Friday there was a “Davis After Dark” event at…
Study breaks, flowers, and Eastern European music
Hi everyone! It’s been a busy busy busy week in Wellesley. It is time for the second round of midterms around here, so studying is occupying a big part of my time. I have been studying a lot with friends recently, and somehow we all end up convincing each other that we deserve a break or a sweet treat (mostly…
Back from break
Hello everyone! Just like that, Spring Break is over. I had such a great and relaxing time that I wish we had at least a few more days of break. I stayed on campus for it, while most of my friends went home or away for a while. The first Sunday of the break was the day of the St.…
Last few days before Spring Break
Helloooo everyone! It’s finally the last week before Spring Break. Life is very busy, but to be honest, I am also not feeling too stressed out. I had a really great weekend, which I think helped me stock up on some good energy to keep me motivated for the last few class days. First, on Friday we had our bimonthly…
