My roommate and I have been trying to make the most of the city since we’re leaving so soon, so here are my top weekend activities so far: Picnic on the Charles Esplanade (extra awesome if…

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! I’m a bit behind on posts, so you’ll be hearing about the second part of my 4th of July next weekend (stay tuned – the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Boston Harbor Islands were definitely sights to see!). Last week, I wrote about what I’m doing at my internship…
So Long, and Thanks for Everything
Dear All, 8 months, 23 blog posts, and about 13,000 words later, my career as a Wellesley admissions blogger is finally coming to a close. It’s been quite a ride! From sharing my love of Lake Waban to chronicling the strange odyssey that was the weird mermaid psych class, we’ve gone some places. I hope you’ll forgive me if I…
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!

All three colleges are located in the town of Wellesley, MA – Babson and Olin are short 10 minute drive away from Wellesley. Free shuttles are running between the colleges constantly, whether students want to take classes at the other colleges, participate in…

How Wellesley Students Do Spring Break
Look, I love Wellesley. I love the classes, I love the campus, I love my friends here. I also love getting the heck off campus over breaks. I especially love it during Spring Break, when the midterms are mostly over and finals are still on the horizon and it’s just warm enough to sit on a beach somewhere without a…
A Few Life Updates
Hello hello! It is officially exam season at Wellesley! With just two weeks to go until spring break, here’s a bit of what’s happening in my life right now (in addition to an abundance of papers and exams): I had a lovely weekend meeting with my brother in Boston. We walked around the entire city, and had a wonderful time,…
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.
