This week I thought I would take the opportunity to let you know about a little bit about my traveling around the country. As part of our study abroad, we get to take trips as a group. This allows us to go to awesome places that maybe we wouldn’t have been able to on our own. I’ve also had the…

The Wellesley-Boston Commute
This week, I thought I would talk about the shuttle that runs hourly from Wellesley to Boston during the weekdays, the MIT Exchange Bus. In the past, it had (endearingly) been referred to as The Peter, the college’s collective favorite ~boy~. This year, however, the school decided to try out new company, and I would say, as a frequent user…

Sweet, Sweet Free Time
Midterm season is officially over–for my classes, anyway–and I have officially regained the rare, precious luxury known as “free time.” In honor of this momentous occasion, I have composed two lists: things I plan to do with my spare time for the rest of my pre-finals semester and things that I will actually do. Plan! Exercise more. That’s right. No…

Best Place on Campus
Today, I want to take a moment to talk about my favorite place on Wellesley campus. People who read my first blog post will know: I love walking the Lake Waban trail, and you will too. I’ve chosen this week to devote a blog post to Waban because the leaves have started to change, making this one of the best…

Fall Break!
Hello hello! Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. This past Monday and Tuesday was fall break! Last year, I stayed on campus and took many lake walks and trips to Boston. However, this fall break, I went to Rhode Island with my friend to visit her family! I had a great time, and it was beautiful to see the…

I am in Dakar !
Hello everyone: I hope you all have had a great summer! This semester I am studying abroad in Dakar, Senegal and I am very happy to be here. I have been having a great time so far. I decided to go to Senegal because I am dead set on finally being fluent in French. I am close but not quite.…

Happy October!
Happy October! Since my last post, the weather has done a complete 180- we went from being consistently hot, sticky, and overall an unpleasant mess (can you tell I’m not from around here?) to a cool, cloudy, more fall-appropriate temperature. In other words, my sweaters are at the ready, mugs filled to the brim with alternating hot beverages (currently on…

Who is She?
Hello! My name is Danica Kim, and I’m a senior with a major in Environmental Studies. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and I have 2 dogs and a cat (Cashew, Butter, and Olive- yes, I am very much aware of the theme going on there). In the Wellesley community, I’m a part of the Botanistas, Spoon University,…

last week of class
This week has been the last week of class. The campus is so beautiful right now with vivid shades of green from the grass and the trees. (See pictures below). This week has mostly been about winding down, submitting assignments and just getting ready for the summer! Because of the amazing weather, I finally took that lake walk or part…
