Greetings! Week two of my internship has been a lot of reading, and I think I’m slowly adjusting to the workplace. As part of my first month tasks, I have to read four books. At this point, I’m almost done with the third, and have yet to begin the fourth. The books have been carefully selected to give me important…

Class of 2023 Advice, Part 2
As promised, here’s part two of my list of tips for people coming to Wellesley for the first time! (Full disclosure, last week’s gosling picture was from my sophomore year, but the new photo is from this year’s geese family!) -Go to the student theater shows. They’re free! And they’re really good! There are often yummy snacks! -I’m not your…
A Peek at Senior Spring
The first two weeks of classes have absolutely flown by! We’ve weathered both arctic chills and spring-like temperatures, which has left our poor, beautiful campus a mudhole dotted with stretches of ice (check out that picture!). Being a senior feels incredibly weird. I’ve already heard back from one job and I’m applying to more tonight. Everyone has started talking about…
Luminare: Four Days of Self-Reflection
Hello hello! Welcome back to Wellesley. Spring semester awaits us – along with warmer weather and longer days! I actually returned to campus last Monday, for a sophomore career retreat! Luminaire was a retreat hosted by Wellesley Career Education. Over the course of 4 days, a group of 30 sophomores (including me!) embarked on a ~journey of self reflection~. We…
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…
The End of Fall Break
Hi, guys! Fall Break just finished, and let me tell you, it was quite relaxing. Stone-D’s dining hall was closed so I decided to treat myself and order California Pizza Kitchen – I think that freshman fifteen is coming along quite nicely. The Thai Crunch salad and Tequila Fettuccine pasta is the best, in my opinion, and I could…
Hello. It’s me (Shreya)!
Hello hello! My name is Shreya, and I’m a sophomore at Wellesley this year. I hail from America’s finest city, also known as San Diego, California. I’m a Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences major, and a Health and Society minor. After coming back from a meaningful and productive summer internship, I am super excited for this semester! I’m taking the…
The Light at the End of the (Biosynthesis Pathway)
Good morning, everyone. A lot has happened since I last wrote. Somehow, we have reached the point where my thesis deadline is in NINE DAYS. It is an honest to god thrill to think that the end is in sight! I still have a lot of writing to do, but I think I have passed the hardest part. It’s like…
To 2022, from 2018
I have been thinking a lot lately, about you, New Purple Class of 2022. As a member of what will soon be the Old Purple Class of 2018, we have more in common than just the color purple, although that is the best class color, you should know. We, you and me both, are beginning new and unfamiliar chapters of…
