Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This week has been crazy busy! Since I last wrote to you, I’ve been to a tree-lighting, gone Christmas shopping, played at Holiday Open Tower, and- drumroll, please- won Wellesley’s Fall 2021 Lip-Sync Competition! For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the event, Lip-Sync is a twice yearly competition held by Wellesley’s House…

Why Wellesley?
That’s right, we’re eight weeks into this beautiful blog and I’m finally following through with my promise to share why I chose Wellesley! My road to Wellesley was actually quite a long one; as a natural planner, I started researching colleges all the way back in middle school, trying to figure out where I wanted to go and what…
Oh The Places We Go
Before anyone says anything, I promise I really was planning to post my “Why Wellesley?” story this week! I was getting all ready to sit down and write about it this morning, when I started thinking about how important visiting campus was for me when I was choosing a college. How can I expect you to know what it’s really…
10 More Wonderful Aspects About Wellesley
Happy April everyone! Today concludes Wellesley’s first week of online classes/remote learning. I’d say it was a success, and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of the semester. I can’t even begin to say how much I miss my friends, professors, and campus, but I’ll take Zoom classes over nothing any day. Anyway, I’m back again this week, to…

walking around the lake
It’s been a quiet week so this will be a shorter post. The most exciting thing I did this week was walk around the lake. Many Wellesley students will tell you that one of their favorite things about Wellesley is the Waban. The lake is one of my favorite things as well. When I was studying abroad, I always ended…

9 Things To Do When Visiting Wellesley (With Your Parents)
Go out to dinner. Our small town of Wellesley is sweet but a little pricey. Lots of students take the bus into Boston to explore in the evenings, but if you’re sticking around Wellesley, having a parent about to fund your dinner out is a good idea. Poke around the dorms. If your parents have been to college, they’ll know…

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. However,…
