Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! This week has been the week of finally getting around to things, which means that I’ve been super productive and have done many things that I can tell you all about. Go me! The first big thing I got out of the way this week was probably the most exciting: I got my…

Spring Breakers
Howdy, blog, and happy Thursday! Spring break is in full swing here at Wellesley, and I could not be happier about how things are going so far. Even the fire alarm testing in my dorm every morning starting at nine am couldn’t kill my good mood. In celebration of the total awesomeness that has been this week, I’ll be…
The Beginning of the End
I’m back! After a rejuvenating 7 week break (consisting of lots of chess and Netflix), 2,000 miles of traveling, 4 hours of unpacking, and (trust me when I say) many negative COVID tests, I’m back at Wellesley!! It feels so strange. The place is the same, but everything around me is different. It’s a nice change of pace after being…
Movin’ Right Along
According to my countdown app, today marks my 90th day on the Wellesley campus! It’s a little weird to think about that; ninety days ago I packed up all of my stuff from Hotel Wellesley and rode a bus for ten minutes to reach my home for the next four years. It definitely wasn’t the beginning I had imagined at…
Pom is the Bomb!
Fall break is in full swing and it is just as relaxing as I’d planned and exciting as I’d hoped. Pretty much everything I’ve done this week has all centered around one beautiful, magical, fantastic place- my dorm, Pomeroy Hall! I’m not sure if this is something I’ve mentioned at all in my blog, but I happen to be…
Oh The Places We Go
Before anyone says anything, I promise I really was planning to post my “Why Wellesley?” story this week! I was getting all ready to sit down and write about it this morning, when I started thinking about how important visiting campus was for me when I was choosing a college. How can I expect you to know what it’s really…
Things that are different
The food in the dining hall is not as good as it usually is. Gone are the toaster, the stacks of bread, the waffle iron, the panini press, the tubs of Hershey’s ice cream, and, most tragically, the salad bar. Everything comes in styrofoam, plastic, or cardboard containers. I’ve eaten almost every meal outside. It’s lovely, especially now, as…
Finals Week!
The last day of class has come and gone! This semester––my whole first year really––has flown by and I cannot believe that as of Friday I will be a sophomore. Although I imagined being at Wellesley with my friends enjoying a New England spring, I am reflecting on my favorite memories from my first year and looking forward to being…
A Week in the Life: Quarantine Edition
Hello y’all! I am still under a shelter-in-place order here in Northern California, so my family has been staying inside except for walks around our neighborhood! We have had awesome weather this week –– yesterday it was 80º –– which is definitely making it harder to stay inside. Online classes are in full swing and I have established a solid…
10 More Wonderful Aspects About Wellesley
Happy April everyone! Today concludes Wellesley’s first week of online classes/remote learning. I’d say it was a success, and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of the semester. I can’t even begin to say how much I miss my friends, professors, and campus, but I’ll take Zoom classes over nothing any day. Anyway, I’m back again this week, to…
