Hi everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog post since we had Thanksgiving Break last week. We have a lot to catch up on! For Thanksgiving break I went back home to NYC (again), but this time I brought my roommate and hallmate, who are both really good friends of mine. They both live pretty far from Wellesley…

Last Full Week: Snow, Holiday Party, Work
Wellesley is covered in snow, and it’s beautiful. Growing up, I spent snow days shoveling my long driveway, and the labor involved took all the fun out of snow. But here, where I’m not responsible for clearing it, it’s not so bad. When I got to work on Tuesday afternoon, the only task for me was to take pictures of…
Autumn Wonderland
Is Autumn Wonderland a thing? Wellesley has exploded in colors this Fall and wonderland seems to be the only proper way to describe it. I was away for last Fall in Senegal so I forgot how beautiful Autumn is. Since Wellesley is essentially a forest with buildings in it, there is tons of beauty to admire. It’s been raining this…
Shreya’s Summer Updates
Hello, hello! The Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning has been going swimmingly so far! In addition to attending a two hour seminar weekly and interning for 35 hours at our placement sites, Lumpkin interns are required to have dinner together once a week. The dinner usually takes place in one of our Northeastern dorms, or on sunny evenings, outside…
Boston on a Budget
Hello, hello! I’m coming to you live on a rainy Thursday morning. Just in case I haven’t made it clear at all ☺, this summer, I’m living in Boston. As many of you know, a big city can get expensive super quickly. Today, I’ll be talking about the fun things I’ve done this summer that have been either A) free…
Surviving a Boston Winter
Happy February! This week, I thought I would go over my top 5 necessities to survive the Boston winter season. Obviously, this list is debatable, and I’m sure there are over a dozen other things even my friends would be quick to add (and a few they would remove) to the list. However, these are the things that have…
Break and Manchester-by-the-Sea
Hello hello! Hope everyone had an enjoyable break. I was back in California all last week, and it was a great change. I rested, hiked, ate, slept, read…basically everything one should do when back home. I’m ready to finish the semester – only two more weeks until the last day of classes! On the Saturday before break, my friends and…
It’s November?!
Hello hello! Course registration for Spring 2019 is tomorrow for sophomores, which means this semester is flying by as usual! This is my favorite time of year at Wellesley. With Tanner last Tuesday, Halloween on Wednesday, and then my birthday this past Friday, I’ve had such a memorable last week! Not to mention, the campus currently looks like an autumnal…
I declared! And other news…
Hello hello! Today, I’m writing to you as an official Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences major! I declared my major last Thursday night. Although the process was quite simple, I skyped with my family in Clapp library and my friend was there the entire time, so the moment was quite memorable! The deadline to declare a major is December 1st of…
Another Busy Week
Guys, I’ve been spending so much time outside and I have to say… it’s glorious. Even though the weather is more or less steadily declining, the sky has been blue and the sun has been out. The lake was literally glittering this afternoon. It’s hard not to stare longingly at it from inside the library. Speaking of the library,…
