I made it to Geneva for my second-semester abroad! My semester starts next week so in the next post I will let you in on some of the classes I am taking. I am writing this on my laptop while facing an amazing view of the Swiss Alps from my room. Needless to say, I am excited about this semester.…

A room tour!
Hello hello!
Today is the day. Today, I finally post our room tour – something that has been long awaited! I filmed this with my one of lovely roommates, Emily (thanks for helping me, Em!) Our room is in Severance Hall, part of the iconic Tower Court. Watch as she goes through our room and shares all about it. We took inspiration from Vogue’s 73 Questions- Enjoy!
Til next week,

first week of classes and back from dakar
This week is the first week of classes for Wellesley students. Although I am not on campus (I’ll be studying abroad again this semester in Geneva), I wanted to acknowledge the start of the new semester for Wellesley folks. This is going to be my 6th semester as a college student and my second in another country. I’ll be starting…
Thanksgiving in Dakar
I hope you passed a great Thanksgiving and had a wonderful break from school! On Thursday, we also celebrated Thanksgiving, even while in Dakar. I was able to share a meal with the students and directors of the program. It was fun to celebrate Thanksgiving in Senegal and then later talk to my family in the states about what they…
Thanksgiving Break
In approximately 46 minutes, I will officially be on Thanksgiving Break and I’m pretty excited about it. A laundry mishap kept me up until 3:30ish last night, which you will recognize as FAR TOO LATE to be up the night before an 8:30 class. (The stupid washing machine somehow restarted while I was trying to pull the clothes out? AND…
Happy [belated] Diwali!
Hello hello! Yesterday night was Wellesley College Darshana’s celebration of Diwali! Diwali or Dipavali is the Hindu festival of lights, which is celebrated every autumn in the northern hemisphere. Even though Diwali was technically last week, it was still great to celebrate with friends! Here’s a little about what went down: First, there was a puja. Then, there was a…
Fall Break in Dakar
Last week I had my Fall break. I know that Wellesley students had their own a few weeks ago. Fall break marks a little over the halfway point of my time in Dakar. I have a little over six weeks left here and I do not want to leave yet. I am going to take the next few weeks to…
Top Things to Do In Boston
There is a sweet lull between midterms and finals, and I’m trying to use it to fit in a few more visits to Boston. In no particular order, here are some of the things I recommend doing there: Check out the Boston Public Library. I’m an English major, so I’m biased, but the library is amazing! There’s a cafe, and…
A ~Spooky~ Week
What a week it’s been, guys. With Halloween having been on a Wednesday this year, a lot of my friends were unsure as to whether we would celebrate or stay in. With so many tests and assignments happening, a lot of us- myself, included- were stressed, tired, and in no mental state to put on a costume to…
An Introduction to the ~Edible Ecosystem~
Hope everyone had a wonderful week! After writing the post on the Pawpaw plant, I realized I really want to tell you guys a bit more about the Edible Ecosystem. Located on the slope below the Whitin Observatory, the Edible Ecosystem Teaching Garden (EETG) is a designed plant community that mimics the properties of a natural ecosystem but produces…
