As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the transition back to living on campus hasn’t exactly been easy for me this semester. I’ve found myself being really unmotivated to get anything done and constantly waiting for the time in between classes, after homework and practice times and meetings are over and I can just lie in my bed and pretend my…

A Dynamic Duo
As I mentioned in my last post, this semester has been a lot different than the last for a couple reasons, one of the biggest being my block. Last semester, I had four blockmates, and as of right now it’s just me and Anastasija! Going from having a whole bunch of go-to people to just having one was a…
Back On Campus and Back In Business!
Well folks, it has been a wild three weeks back on campus following the beautiful two months I spent napping and watching Criminal Minds on my couch, and I’m just getting back into the swing of all things Wellesley College! I’m a little bit ashamed to admit this, but in these weeks on campus I somehow haven’t managed to…
One Down, Seven to Go!
I’m starting to write this on Monday, in hopes that the end product that pops up on your computer screens Thursday afternoon or late morning will somehow be an incredibly thoughtful and cohesive review of my first semester of college. The probability of that occurring is probably not very high, given how muddled with finals and packing and going and…
Light the Lamp, Not the Rat!
This week’s blog title might sound a little bit like nonsense to you- although anyone familiar with The Muppet Christmas Carol, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, will surely get the reference- but this is one of many silly pieces of advice I’ve decided to take to heart this finals season. This year has been hard.…
Movin’ Right Along
According to my countdown app, today marks my 90th day on the Wellesley campus! It’s a little weird to think about that; ninety days ago I packed up all of my stuff from Hotel Wellesley and rode a bus for ten minutes to reach my home for the next four years. It definitely wasn’t the beginning I had imagined at…
Seeing the Brighter Side
This has been a week of everything and nothing all at once and I am quite glad to be almost at the end of it. The New York Times has now listed the Cedar Rapids metro area as the number one spot in the nation where coronavirus cases are rising the fastest and “Where There May Be Bad News…
Pom is the Bomb!
Fall break is in full swing and it is just as relaxing as I’d planned and exciting as I’d hoped. Pretty much everything I’ve done this week has all centered around one beautiful, magical, fantastic place- my dorm, Pomeroy Hall! I’m not sure if this is something I’ve mentioned at all in my blog, but I happen to be…
The End of Almost the End
To be honest, I have been procrastinating on this post for a long while now. I couldn’t really get myself to write a farewell junior year post, given how the semester ended so abruptly and whatnot. Special thanks to Sophia for nudging me to post this! Anyway, I thought it would be best to reflect on what a whirlwind year…
A Week in the Life: Quarantine Edition
Hello y’all! I am still under a shelter-in-place order here in Northern California, so my family has been staying inside except for walks around our neighborhood! We have had awesome weather this week –– yesterday it was 80º –– which is definitely making it harder to stay inside. Online classes are in full swing and I have established a solid…
