First of all… CONGRATULATIONS to all of my new Wellesley siblings! I am so excited for you all to be a part of the siblinghood. In honor of finals season being upon us and the semester ending, I made a new playlist! Here is my winter/study/end of semester playlist! I hope you enjoy. xoxo, caroline

Ice Cream Making and Moss Art (the last week of lab)
When I went to the train station today, there was a carpet of turquoise blue rock salt…snow is coming! It was quite beautiful, the whole corridor along the train coated in crystals. And, of course, with my Chem 205 background I couldn’t help but think that they were probably CaCl2, which has a higher Van’t hoff factor of 3 and…
Musings & Finals Szn

In order to help celebrate the marathon and to enable the students to get involved, Wellesley’s administration gives the students the day off to go cheer on the runners. Throughout the year, upperclassmen have told me about this particular day. How special the…
