Hi! I’m back! As I write this, we are wrapping up a much needed and well deserved Fall Break! I spent this break going back home to NYC to catch up with family and friends and just rejuvenate after stressful midterms. NYC is not too far away from Boston so I’m actually able to go back home relatively often, and…

fall break 2019
I couldn’t come up with a title that correctly encapsulated my awesome weekend. This past weekend was Fall break and took the opportunity to take a much-needed trip home. While home, I attended a panel discussion about the life of one of my favorite writers, Toni Morisson. I was deeply affected by her death and hoped that this event would…
Goodbye Summer!
Hello hello, I’m writing to you on a Friday morning, the last Friday before Wellesley officially starts the school year! I have about a week before I leave for my study abroad program in England, but still wanted to give a quick update on where I’m at. It’s been strange to see all my friends arriving back on campus! String…
More Wonderful, Inexpensive Things in Boston
Hey everyone! As the summer is winding down, I thought it would be fitting to write about great, inexpensive activities to do around Boston. My roommate and I have been trying to make the most of the city since we’re leaving so soon, so here are my top weekend activities so far: Picnic on the Charles Esplanade (extra awesome if…
Beantown Business
Happy Thursday! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! I’m a bit behind on posts, so you’ll be hearing about the second part of my 4th of July next weekend (stay tuned – the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Boston Harbor Islands were definitely sights to see!). Last week, I wrote about what I’m doing at my internship…
The Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning
Welcome back! As promised, I’ll dive right in today and talk about more of my summer. As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I’m participating in the Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning. So…what exactly is this fancy schmancy program? Essentially, this program (through Wellesley Career Education) allows rising juniors like myself to engage and participate in social change by working at…
spring break
This past week was Spring break. Here in Geneva, Spring break coincides with Easter so many folks decided to go home to celebrate with their families. It’s funny to write about Spring break, as I know that the semester at Wellesley is coming to an end and some of you are finally choosing your next steps in your educational career. Next…
How Wellesley Students Do Spring Break
Look, I love Wellesley. I love the classes, I love the campus, I love my friends here. I also love getting the heck off campus over breaks. I especially love it during Spring Break, when the midterms are mostly over and finals are still on the horizon and it’s just warm enough to sit on a beach somewhere without a…
Valentine’s Day at Wellesley
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day here at Wellesley! And, I guess, other places! But while people celebrate the holiday all over, there are a few things that are special to Wellesley. A very non-comprehensive list of things that happen at Wellesley: -The dining halls turn it up. Chocolate cups with white chocolate mousse! Chocolate cookies with raspberry icing! And more! It…
Last day of classes!
Hello hello! Can you believe it? We’ve made it to the last day of classes, fall 2018. What a crazy, awesome, busy, meaningful semester it has been! For those of you writing papers and taking finals – I wish you the best of luck. We are SO. CLOSE. One thing I love about this blog is that it’s been forcing…
