This past week has been a pretty mellow week. This semester being my last semester, I wanted to make sure I built in as much time for myself as possible. I chose my classes in a way that gave me Thursday and Friday off. Since the semester’s workload hasn’t really picked up yet, I spend most of my days off…

More Fun Things Than I Possibly Have Time For
On some Sunday nights, I realize I spent most of the weekend doing schoolwork. I’ve gotten better at finding a good work-fun balance, which I’ll go into in a future post. But this past week, I realized why I tend to do so much work on Saturday and Sunday. It’s because I do so many fun things during the week. …
Kettle’s Yard and Fresher’s Week
Hi all! What a week it has been! One of my goals during my semester abroad has been to take full advantage of all Cambridge has to offer. That includes everything: clubs, societies, and sports, classes, lectures, and talks. I spent a lovely afternoon last week at Kettle’s Yard, a house-turned-art gallery in Cambridge! A bit of background: the house…
Welcome Class of 2023! Have Some Advice!
Welcome to the siblinghood, Class of 2023! Everyone of you accomplished something impressive by getting here. “Oh, except for me, the admissions office probably just made a mistake when they admitted me–” No! I work for admissions and they’re awesome! They admitted you for a reason! You’re here to learn a little more about this college, right? Okay, welcome. Here’s…
Happy [belated] Diwali!
Hello hello! Yesterday night was Wellesley College Darshana’s celebration of Diwali! Diwali or Dipavali is the Hindu festival of lights, which is celebrated every autumn in the northern hemisphere. Even though Diwali was technically last week, it was still great to celebrate with friends! Here’s a little about what went down: First, there was a puja. Then, there was a…

I’m taking the…
Mentorship
I waited to write this post because I wanted to talk about tonight; it was Big/Little!! It’s when a current member of an organization becomes a “big” or big sibling to a new member. Some of you might have heard of similar things happening in sororities and fraternities, but it’s a little different at Wellesley. I say this because it…
Oh! Nostalgia
One of the many things I do here at Wellesley is serve on an e-board. An e-board (executive board) are the elected representatives of an organization. I am the historian for WCD (Wellesley for Caribbean Development). As the historian, my job is to dig up as much from WCD’s past as possible in order to create a detailed history report.…
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. So, in light of always trying to find the silver lining, here are some highlights of this weekend: Friday – 1:13pm: Lilly…
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…
