Busy Being Baffled!
October has been a whirlwind of a month. I promise, I’ve been studying, but I’ve found that a lot of the events (lectures, movie screenings) I attend at Wellesley are far more interesting to talk about, as well as definitive of what my experience here is really like. So, here is a quick run down of four events I attended…
Team LipSync?
Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend:) This past week was full of fun things. Track started on Monday so I’ve been practicing every day (except Sunday) now. On Tuesday, we worked out outside. It was so beautiful out! The sun sets super early now so we ended practice with the sun setting and a rainbow! Then on Tuesday…
Culture Shock is a Good Thing (I.e. The Blog Where I Talk About Food)
When I got to Wellesley (i.e. when I moved out of my hometown bubble and into a new one), I quickly learned that what makes a place special is its people and the traditions they carry within. Growing up in a predominantly Mexican-American community, I had never been exposed to the wonders of Diwali (the Hindu festival of lights) and…
It’s a Pirate’s Life!
Well this past week was crazy! Last Sunday, I went out to brunch with some of the sprinters on the Track team:) We go to the this great little breakfast place in the vil AND ITS SO GOOD! I had homemade greek yogurt with fresh fruit and a fried corn muffin. Nom nom nom. Then later that day, I helped…
Interview Days
Hello readers! Hope you’re having great Friday mornings :). (And isn’t it funny to think we each have our own individual mornings!) This week, I decided to do another interview, since Mia, one of my commenters on the blog (hint hint nudge nudge :)) said she enjoyed them :). And so I present to you: Aly! … I met Aly…
Eclectic Events
Happy Autumn! Here’s this week’s playlist: http://8tracks.com/samgit/autumn-2013 It’s been a busy week here at Wellesley. These past few days especially, I think I’ve been able to take advantage of what Wellesley has to offer. The close-enough-to-Boston location and academic as well as extracurricular activities offered to students here is very different from what I was exposed to in high school. Here’s…
The Ancient and Distinguished Guild of Carillonneurs
Last Wednesday, I ventured up to the bell tower in Green Hall for a personal concert! I had never been up there before and it was AMAZING! I went up, up, up a long winding staircase. Into the lair of the Carillonneurs! Where my friend Kelly was practicing on a mini bell organ. Then we went up, up, up…
Fun Weekend:)
This past weekend was awesome! Our meet at Fitchburg State went well. I bettered my 400 meter hurdle time by more than half a second:) And I got to watch one of my teammates win the steeplechase! It was pretty cool. Then on Sunday, my SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee) team hosted a dodgeball tournament. It was held in the…
Diversity at Wellesley with Guest Blogger, Patrice
Dear Accepted Students to the Green Class of 2017!! I can’t believe acceptance time is finally here! I’ll never forget my college search process, it was long, stressful and by the time I was accepted into Wellesley I had already been accepted into to other colleges much closer to my home state of Texas. I clear ly remember receiving my…
