Returning to college at the end of break is always bittersweet. Quick list of personal pros and cons: Con: Saying goodbye to high school friends. Pro: Saying hi to college friends.

Top Things to Do In Boston
There is a sweet lull between midterms and finals, and I’m trying to use it to fit in a few more visits to Boston. In no particular order, here are some of the things I recommend doing there: Check out the Boston Public Library. I’m an English major, so I’m biased, but the library is amazing! There’s a cafe, and…
A ~Spooky~ Week
What a week it’s been, guys. With Halloween having been on a Wednesday this year, a lot of my friends were unsure as to whether we would celebrate or stay in. With so many tests and assignments happening, a lot of us- myself, included- were stressed, tired, and in no mental state to put on a costume to…
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…
Sweet, Sweet Free Time
Midterm season is officially over–for my classes, anyway–and I have officially regained the rare, precious luxury known as “free time.” In honor of this momentous occasion, I have composed two lists: things I plan to do with my spare time for the rest of my pre-finals semester and things that I will actually do. Plan! Exercise more. That’s right. No…

Fall Break!
Hello hello! Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. This past Monday and Tuesday was fall break! Last year, I stayed on campus and took many lake walks and trips to Boston.
