Happy Halloween! With it being a Monday, and most of the festivities happening over the weekend, it already feels like Halloween has passed, so much so that I wondered why someone wearing a creepy skull mask and flowing black robes waved to me on my way to class this morning. And then I remembered, oh, it’s still Halloween, which was…

Friends and Family, Hosting a Prospie and Fall is HERE
Hi to all, I had an awesome time this weekend. It was Friends and Family/Homecoming Weekend. It was also Discover Wellesley Weekend. (Pretty busy I know). Although no one from my family came to visit, I still enjoyed the benefits of Friends and Family weekend, including the food. Harambee House, the place on campus that serves Wellesley students of African…
On Walden and Waban
On my way back to my dorm, on this uncharacteristically balmy night in October after a Jane the Virgin screening with lovely friends and crocheting, it hit me. Here I was, at ten o’clock at night on a Monday, and I had forgotten to update you, my beloved readers! Well, not forgotten entirely. More just gone through my day putting…
Green (and haunted) houses

I just can’t believe we went…
Chasing Seagulls and Perfection
It feels like I just took a final exam. Since some of you haven’t experienced walking out of a final exam at Wellesley, there’s this moment when you walk outside after, that you can’t believe the world can be so still when your brain is still going a million miles an hour. It’s a surreal moment. And there’s a sense…
Countdown to Copenhagen
Jeg snakker Dansk! Not really. I don’t really speak Danish, but I am on a 14 day streak for learning it on this language-learning app I’ve discovered called Duolingo. I’ve learned how to say lots of useful things, like “the apple is purple” and “the duck and the spider eat breakfast.” Now it’s nice to learn something just for the…
