Hello hello! Term 4 has hit hard, and I am insanely behind on posting. The thesis is due in less than two weeks! I started to write today’s post on FDOC and never quite finished. Here it is! Happy FDOC (first day of classes)! Today marks my last first day of college, ever. Wild! I won’t get into too much…

Solving All My Problems With a Single Twinkle-Think
Hello again, blog, and happy Thursday! I’m in a really good mood today, and I feel like lately I’ve finally started to really enjoy my life on campus the way I did first term. Most of it is probably due to the way I’ve started thinking about the future; I’ve stopped thinking about my major as some sort of end-all-be-all…
Spring Breakers
Howdy, blog, and happy Thursday! Spring break is in full swing here at Wellesley, and I could not be happier about how things are going so far. Even the fire alarm testing in my dorm every morning starting at nine am couldn’t kill my good mood. In celebration of the total awesomeness that has been this week, I’ll be…
Meaning of Life and The End of Term 3
Today marks the first day of Term 3 finals. For my philosophy seminar, our final project was to write and present a commencement speech based on the Meaning of Life and our semester readings. I presented my speech last night in a small group over Zoom and it went well! This officially means I’m 75% done with my senior year…
Warmer Days and This Past Weekend
This past week was filled with warm, Spring-is-here weather! I’m currently writing this on a cloudy Friday morning from the Political Science department with a cup of tea beside me. It’s been humid these past few days, which is quite on brand for the east coast. Currently, we’re approaching the end of week 6, which means that finals are next…
Back to the Future
Happy Spring, blog! We’re in the thick of it here at Wellesley, with only three days of class left in the term, and as all endings tend to do, this week has been making me think about the future, from the very near to the very far. Tomorrow is yet another one of those beautiful days where two different…
Feeling a little bit lighter
Things are looking up. Though we’ve had a few warm days sprinkled in over the past few weeks, it seems like spring is finally here to stay. The Adirondack chairs on the quad are fully occupied. Yesterday I had a photoshoot and a picnic with friends, and today I went for another beautiful bike ride. I just took a 45-minute…
Hitting Reset
I’m looking back through my Google calendar to see what happened this past week. Not going to lie, it was a long one. I think the combination of school work, pandemic fatigue, and constantly changing New England weather all culminated in a lot of stress and burnout. The hot water in Lake House also was acting a bit dodgy for…
Midterm Craziness (Already)
Hello from a Wellesley student knee deep in midterm craziness – dense readings, philosophy presentations, and papers await. We’ve reached almost the end of week 4, which means our term is a little more than halfway done. Blasphemy! I forgot how fast the term system moves. Just as I start to feel comfortable and grounded in my classes, more work…
Walks, Term Updates, and More
Good day! Today marks almost the end of week 3. As of March 1st, Wellesley’s COVID bubble has been officially sealed, and so far, so good (knock on wood). All the talk about increased vaccination supply has been promising too, and it feels like things are finally looking up. Of course, a reminder that even though there’s reason for optimism,…
