Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This time next week, I will be writing to you from back home in Iowa, where I’ll be spending my November break. Five days of family, food, and rest sounds like exactly what I need right now, and I cannot wait. Before I can get to that, though, there are a few other things…

Planning Ahead
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a very eventful week; it seems like something is always happening at Wellesley, and while I do love that I never have to look far to be entertained, I’m definitely looking forward to the break we’ll be getting later on this month. I think it’ll be nice to have a few…
Staying Afloat
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been kind of a rough week for me, so this blog will be dedicated to some of the little things to celebrate since I last wrote. Anastasija’s Birthday! My good friend Anastasija turned 20 last Thursday, so the two of us ordered McDonalds for dinner that night, and on Saturday…
A Wonderful Weekend
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This is a magical and momentous week for a number of reasons. Most importantly: I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECLARED MY MAJOR!! As of this evening, I am officially an Education Studies major! I have an advisor and a major plan and a whole bunch of future plans and I could not be more…
Opening Doors
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a week of a lot of things, as most weeks are. I think one of the best things about Wellesley is that there are always so many different things happening all at once, but sometimes that means you have to bury your head in the sand a little bit and stay…

Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! I’m writing my post a little later in the day than usual because I just finished my first essay of the semester! It was for Happiness, the pre-eighteenth century literature class I’m taking, and I wrote the first paragraph while the Help Desk was slow this morning and the other four pages in the…
The Fire of September
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This is the first real week of classes, and I’m beginning to realize that I really need to straighten out my priorities if I want to do everything that I want to do on campus; I’m taking five classes, working three jobs, and participating in a music ensemble this semester, which is quite a…
The chillest Friday night
After my first partial week of classes, I had the chillest Friday night. I showed up to the lawn outside the chapel just as kiddush ended and folks began lining up for Shabbat dinner. We sat on tarps on the grass and ate brisket and kugel as the sun went down. I learned about Kayla’s high school journalism class and…
First Week Jitters
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day of classes here at Wellesley; I had my first French class this morning and this afternoon I will be attending my very first in person convocation ceremony, which I am very excited about. I’m not entirely sure what exactly a convocation is, but I’ll be sure to update you…
