Happy Wednesday everyone, and welcome to the Wellesley Student Blog! My name is Andrew (he/him), and I’m a sophomore here at Wellesley returning to the blog for my second year. For those of you who are returning readers, you might notice that the name and pronouns I use now are a little different from the ones you were used to…

Life is Art. Art is Life: Lessons for a Meaningful in Life from Art
This is my final blog post at Wellesley College ever. Instead of a traditional reflection post, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite paper submissions. I wrote this paper for my Philosophy Seminar on the Meaning of Life and thought it summed up what I learned at Wellesley quite well. I’m still in disbelief that it’s all…
Solving All My Problems With a Single Twinkle-Think
Hello again, blog, and happy Thursday! I’m in a really good mood today, and I feel like lately I’ve finally started to really enjoy my life on campus the way I did first term. Most of it is probably due to the way I’ve started thinking about the future; I’ve stopped thinking about my major as some sort of end-all-be-all…
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…
Back to the Future
Happy Spring, blog! We’re in the thick of it here at Wellesley, with only three days of class left in the term, and as all endings tend to do, this week has been making me think about the future, from the very near to the very far. Tomorrow is yet another one of those beautiful days where two different…
Feeling a little bit lighter
Things are looking up. Though we’ve had a few warm days sprinkled in over the past few weeks, it seems like spring is finally here to stay. The Adirondack chairs on the quad are fully occupied. Yesterday I had a photoshoot and a picnic with friends, and today I went for another beautiful bike ride. I just took a 45-minute…
A Dynamic Duo
As I mentioned in my last post, this semester has been a lot different than the last for a couple reasons, one of the biggest being my block. Last semester, I had four blockmates, and as of right now it’s just me and Anastasija! Going from having a whole bunch of go-to people to just having one was a…
Light the Lamp, Not the Rat!
This week’s blog title might sound a little bit like nonsense to you- although anyone familiar with The Muppet Christmas Carol, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, will surely get the reference- but this is one of many silly pieces of advice I’ve decided to take to heart this finals season. This year has been hard.…
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…
An ode to Google Calendar
Every Sunday, when I sit down to write my weekly blog post, I open Google Calendar to look for something to write about. It’s a recap of everything I did during the week (plus some things I thought about but chose not to do). It also serves as a diary of sorts. In the future, I can look back to…
