Happy April everyone! Today concludes Wellesley’s first week of online classes/remote learning. I’d say it was a success, and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of the semester. I can’t even begin to say how much I miss my friends, professors, and campus, but I’ll take Zoom classes over nothing any day. Anyway, I’m back again this week, to…

Welcome 2024!
Hello hello! I wanted to talk about one thing specifically for my post today: WELLESLEY CLASS OF 2024!!!! You look amazing from here, and we can’t wait to meet you. Although spring open campus is canceled this year, I wanted to share 20 wonderful things to get our prospies (aka you, admitted student, reading this!) excited for Wellesley. I’ll share…
Does It Spark Joy?
I have now been home (and inside!!) for over a week which means that I have begun procrastinating in new and exciting ways. I have rewatched episodes of The Office on Netflix, briefly took up cross stitching, and started reading Pride and Prejudice. Now I am Marie Kondoing (yes, I just made that a verb!). Perhaps you haven’t heard of…
Boxing It All Up
Last Wednesday, I sat in the quad playing a card game with my friend Anna. One week later, I write to you from my bed in California. What a week it has been. To be entirely honest, this week was the longest of my life. There were many tears and hard goodbyes, but I was also reminded over and over…
Go to Office Hours
Way back during orientation, every other presenter told us to go to office hours in the beginning of the semester to meet our professors. Assuming everyone else was doing the same, I took their advice. I chatted about songwriting with my ES professor and asked another instructor about her other classes. I went to office hours when I had questions…
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…
Scoops 4 Days!
I’ll be the first to admit that, sometimes, the dining options at Wellesley and the surrounding area can become a bit repetitive. I mean, there are only so many times you can order Lemon Thai (the go-to Thai spot in the nearby ville), be creative at the salad bars on campus, or get Domino’s for those late-night cheesy cravings. However,…
A room tour!
Hello hello!
Today is the day. Today, I finally post our room tour – something that has been long awaited! I filmed this with my one of lovely roommates, Emily (thanks for helping me, Em!) Our room is in Severance Hall, part of the iconic Tower Court. Watch as she goes through our room and shares all about it. We took inspiration from Vogue’s 73 Questions- Enjoy!
Til next week,

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…
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…
