Hi everyone! It’s officially (almost) Winter Break!!! I have been counting the days to it ever since we came back from Thanksgiving. I’m flying out on Tuesday, so there’s definitely some time (and assignments to do) before I’m home, but now it all feels much more manageable. I have already packed up most of my stuff for home; I’m just…

The aftermath
Hi everyone! Guys, I think the Slater Culture Show went really well?!? I think at least. It is a very weird experience to be backstage: you can’t really hear what is being said on stage even if you are standing right next to the stage behind the curtains, and you can’t really see or hear the audience. The first thing…
Guys, it’s getting serious
Hi everyone! I have had one of the busiest and longest weeks of my life. With homework, midterms, work, my thesis, and the Slater Culture Show, I have been juggling a lot of things. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (aka Thanksgiving break). We are almost there! I just got out of a meeting…
Good food, interesting science
I feel like something most college students across the country would agree on is that good food in college tastes even better when it’s also free. There’s just nothing like being offered free food at events. This past week, my friends, most of whom are from similar-ish cultural backgrounds as me, and I had an event through Wellesley’s Orthodox Christian…
Post-Halloween Blues
Hi everyone! Halloween is over, and now we are entering the long stretch before Thanksgiving break. Nay (negative yay!) for that! But Halloween itself was very fun. My friends and I dressed up for some on-campus trick or treating (I was a witch), and we got a lot of great snacks (my favorite ones were from the President’s house, and…
Goodbye October!
Hi everyone! Fall in Wellesley is an amazing time: the trees are full of color, the leaves are gorgeous, it’s not yet cold, and the animals are constantly moving around (I especially love the squirrels running everywhere). It is also exam season, which can bring down the mood a little, but hey, all in all, the fall season is one…
Study locations power ranking using BeReals
Hi everyone! I had this idea to tell you about my week through my BeReals. For those who might not know what that is, BeReal is a social media app that goes off once a day at a random time, and you have to take a photo of you at that exact moment. The idea sounded fun in my head,…
Fall Break
Hi everyone! Fall break was this past weekend, and it was a much needed rest (and time to catch up with work if you are a busy senior). Here are some of the things I did during this break: 1. My friends and I had an early Halloween inspired night. We reserved the TV room in Stone-Davis and watched some…
A hectic Tuesday
Hi everyone! I thought it might be a good time of the semester to do a day-in-the-life, and tell you specifically, what a typical Tuesday looks like for me. I woke up a little earlier than usual, around 8 am, because I had to do some reading for my 9:55 am Greek and Roman mythology class. We have recently been…
<3 for Stone-Davis
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…
