On coming home
Hello everyone! I hope you had a delightful and restful thanksgiving. This post is coming to you somewhat later than usual, but I have a wonderful excuse; I just got back from a long catching up session (over Panera!) with my two best friends from high school. Even if it’s only for a couple days, it’s wonderful to be home,…
Jam sessions, symphonies and getting things together
Good morning to all of you! At least its still morning as I write here, one of those rare mornings where it seems New England has rediscovered impossibly blue skies. Walking to my blog-writing seat in admissions from Philosophy class, I witnessed a Wellesley student rescuing a fuzzy little brown and black caterpillar from an oncoming admissions tour on the…
Brussels, Paris, Barcelona

As I was watching it I realized I knew a lot of the people in the video – and how that’s one of Wellesley’s charms. It’s such a small school, with such a distinct community, that you…
Adventures in Montreal
It’s not every fall break you get to dig out your passport, but that’s what we did. “We” being me and four of my closest Wellesley friends; attempting to pull the kind of spontaneous college road trip you see in movies (without the car breaking down or anything). Not just any road trip, but a road trip to an exotic,…
Fall Break
So I went home to upstate New York for the weekend. The leaves are in full color there! I took a hike with my Dad and these are some of the views we encountered: Monday afternoon, I returned to Wellesley to find that the leaves here are catching up! Here are a few pictures taken right outside my dorm:…
