I don’t know what it was that possessed me to call up the Harvard Alpaca Ranch on the phone. It’s one of the odder conversations I’ve had recently, asking a stranger if I could come pet their alpacas. It turns out that alpacas are rather wary animals, not too keen on being petted but VERY keen on eating any and…

Walking around Campus
Wellesley is a beautiful place and I often find myself just walking around, listening to music. Sometimes, I am in the mood to take a walk and see where my feet take me. This is a great way to relax and collect your thoughts. I often think my most interesting ideas while walking. one of my favorite places to walk around…
The Good & The Bad
To be honest, this weekend was rough– for the first time, I felt the effects sophomore slump and midterm season all at once. However, it was also a wonderful reminder of how fabulous my found family is.

I Meet My Violin Idol
Thursday afternoon, the sun is just starting to slant down. I’m walking down the train station platform, listening to my latest read: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2016 commencement speaker, but I digress) when I see a familiar face.

Essentially taking care of yourself when you feel stressed out. Or doing so regularly to maintain a happy mind. The…

In order to help celebrate the marathon and to enable the students to get involved, Wellesley’s administration gives the students the day off to go cheer on the runners. Throughout the year, upperclassmen have told me about this particular day. How special the…
Café Hoop
I become a Noopie (New Hoopie)last week. Café Hoop is a student-run café in the bottom of our student center the Lulu Chow Wang Campus Center. (Hoopies are people who work at the Hoop). In my opinion, it is one of the best places on campus. I fell in love with it the first time I went there during my first…

WCD is an organization for people from the Caribbean or who are interested in the Caribbean to meet and talk about the region. A lot of the members are…
