Hope everyone had a wonderful week! After writing the post on the Pawpaw plant, I realized I really want to tell you guys a bit more about the Edible Ecosystem. Located on the slope below the Whitin Observatory, the Edible Ecosystem Teaching Garden (EETG) is a designed plant community that mimics the properties of a natural ecosystem but produces…

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…
Garba, prospies, and some senior year advice.
Hello hello! This past week (just like the others) has just flown by! I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying their Wednesday! On Saturday, my friend and I went to garba at Harvard, called Hungama [translated: Celebration]! For those unfamiliar, garba is a type of Indian folk dance celebrated every autumn, in line with the Hindu festival of Navratri.…
SOC & YAY
First of all… CONGRATULATIONS to all of the amazing humans who were accepted in to the class of 2022! I am so excited for all of you and can’t wait to meet some of you over the next couple of days during Spring Open Campus! While it’s be a couple of weeks since I last wrote a post due to…
To 2022, from 2018
I have been thinking a lot lately, about you, New Purple Class of 2022. As a member of what will soon be the Old Purple Class of 2018, we have more in common than just the color purple, although that is the best class color, you should know. We, you and me both, are beginning new and unfamiliar chapters of…
Deciding to Go ED; As Told Through Leslie Knope Gifs
This Wednesday marks two years since I applied to Wellesley. It was a scary, wonderful, rewarding decision and it went something like this: I visited Wellesley on a whim the summer before my senior year. At first, I wasn’t sure whether or not it was the place for me. I did some research, talked with current students and alums 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…
I show you around my room
Well, since everybody else did room tours I figured I should hop on the bandwagon this week and show you around my room. Please enjoy my first vlogging experience (or at least my fish/ lake view). I tell you all about my rooming experience from first year (when I had three roommates!) until senior year , what it’s like to…
What Wellesley is ~Really~ Like
Hello again! This past weekend was Discover Wellesley Weekend where prospective students (also known as prospies) spent the night and got to experience the life of a Wellesley student alongside us. While spending time chatting with various prospies interested in different majors, activities, and ways to get involved, the same three questions kept popping up. These questions are similar to…
My Dream Week, Incoming
Fall break, and I’m sitting on my childhood bed with my violin at my feet. I would have updated sooner, but the academic push up to break has demanded nothing less than my full, unwavering, attention. A chemistry exam that was quite frankly brutal, a partial scientific paper on sgRNA transformation, on top of the “weekly maintenance” for classes and my…
