Hello everyone! Another week, another blog of updates on Wellesley life from me. The days are longer, the temperature is now back in the positives (if you are using Celcius), and the snow is melting. The only downside to that is the fact that a lot of the sidewalks are overflowing with water from the melting snow, which is…

Fun Events and My Free Time
Hi everyone! This week has been a little hectic, not gonna lie to you all. I feel like I blinked and the week went from Friday to Wednesday. The absolute highlight of the week was definitely the Expo Culture Show. It was held by the Wellesley Caribbean Society this past Saturday. The show was absolutely fantastic, and it had everything—music,…
A (busy) day in the life
Hey everyone! It’s midterms season (nay!!), so my life right now revolves around studying, revising, office hours, and more studying. That’s why I decided to do a day-in-the-life this week—for you to get a feeling of what life is like around here right before the midterms start coming in. I woke up this (Wednesday) morning around 7:50 am for my…
Wellesley Life Updates
Hi everyone! The Wellesley college campus is still covered in snow and has been ever since we came back to campus in January. I feel like the weather was not that bad the previous two winters I have experienced here, but this semester is definitely up to a cold start. The good news is that this means that I get…
The Science Center + Drag Race = Fun
Hi everyone! Things are settling into their normal rhythm here in Wellesley—homework never ends, deadlines are creeping behind every corner, and you need to pull out your google calendar to figure out if you can hang out with your friends during the day. There is something very soothing in that whole routine though that I missed when I was abroad,…
Back to Wellesley
Hi everyone! Guess who is back in Wellesley? It’s really amazing being here. It’s great seeing all of my friends, my favorite professors, even the geese again! What was not so great though was the weather this week—it was freezing cold the whole first week of classes. It’s starting to get better now, but it’s still rather cold, and there’s…
So long, Edinburgh
Hey everyone! Welcome to my last blog post from Scotland and the last one before I am back in Wellesley in January. It has honestly been a wild ride. I have met so many amazing people that I am going to miss, I have visited so many interesting and beautiful places, and I have learned so much about Scotland and…
Things I miss about Wellesley
Hey everyone! I can’t actually believe that it’s already December, time really does fly by. I am officially done with classes (yay!), and my exams start next week (nay!). I have loved my experience here so much, but I feel ready to go home and then back to Wellesley soon. Speaking of that, today I decided to tell you some…
Penultimate Week of Classes
Hey everyone! Yep, you read that right, this week is my penultimate week of classes, which is still crazy to me. I feel like I arrived here only yesterday, and suddenly I can see the finish line. My friends at Wellesley are just finishing their midterms, and I am here prepared to face my final exams. I honestly don’t feel…
Studying, London, and course registration
Hey everyone! As you may have noticed, I skipped the blog post last week (November is just a tough month for university students I fear), so I thought I should give you some updates as to what I have been up to recently. Of course, the thing that occupies the majority of my time right now is studying. I just…
