Hello blog, and happy Monday! Wellesley is looking a little different today than it was last time I wrote: this weekend New England was hit by a blizzard and we got what I read was maybe sixteen inches of snow. Being from Iowa, this was much less of a big deal to me than it was to a lot…

Lip Sync Champions and Other Snapshots from a Week Well-Lived
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…
Home Again, Home Again
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today I’m writing you from Marion, Iowa, zip code 52302, where I am home for the holiday! On Monday night, my friend Emma and I pulled an all-nighter watching Anne of Avonlea, the four hour second installation in the 1985 Anne of Green Gables miniseries. At 3AM, we took an Uber to Logan…
Always Something to Celebrate
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This time next week, I will be writing to you from back home in Iowa, where I’ll be spending my November break. Five days of family, food, and rest sounds like exactly what I need right now, and I cannot wait. Before I can get to that, though, there are a few other things…
Planning Ahead
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a very eventful week; it seems like something is always happening at Wellesley, and while I do love that I never have to look far to be entertained, I’m definitely looking forward to the break we’ll be getting later on this month. I think it’ll be nice to have a few…
Staying Afloat
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been kind of a rough week for me, so this blog will be dedicated to some of the little things to celebrate since I last wrote. Anastasija’s Birthday! My good friend Anastasija turned 20 last Thursday, so the two of us ordered McDonalds for dinner that night, and on Saturday…
A Wonderful Weekend
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This is a magical and momentous week for a number of reasons. Most importantly: I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECLARED MY MAJOR!! As of this evening, I am officially an Education Studies major! I have an advisor and a major plan and a whole bunch of future plans and I could not be more…
Opening Doors
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a week of a lot of things, as most weeks are. I think one of the best things about Wellesley is that there are always so many different things happening all at once, but sometimes that means you have to bury your head in the sand a little bit and stay…
A Fall Break to Remember
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day back from fall break here at Wellesley, and I am feeling very reenergized. Here’s a brief rundown of everything I did over my fall break: Saturday: Guild Field Trip! The Wellesley College Guild of Carillonneurs visited a conference in Cohasset, Massachusetts for the Northeast chapter of the Guild…
The Penultimate Post of My First Year
Hello, blog! As you might be able to tell by the lateness of this post, it’s been quite a week. Actually, that might not be true. This week really hasn’t been more of a week than any other week this year, but I think that when you add all of the weeks that came before this week to the…
