Hello hello! Hope everyone had a good week! Current status: It’s almost the weekend, it’s sunny (but cold), and it’s the last week of February. We just wrapped up week 5 of the semester, so I thought it would be fitting to write about what my schedule is like on a typical Friday. Fridays are my chill days, because I…

The One with Galentines Day Fun
Last weekend was Valentine’s Day! This post is rather untimely BUT it was a super cute day so I wanted to write about it here. No one in my friend group really had plans for Valentine’s Day on Friday so we decided super last minute on Thursday night to do an impromptu Galentine’s Day at Acorns. Acorns is a community…
A Term of Trying [New Things]
Happy Friday, everyone! Recently, I’ve been watching the Refinery29 series, Try Living with Lucie. In the series, the host, Lucie, tries new social experiments every week, 5 days at a time. Some previous examples have included: 5 days with no cell phone, 5 days of veganism, 5 days of exercise, and 5 days of waking up at 5am. I’ve been…
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…
class trips are still fun in college
This past week has been a pretty mellow week. This semester being my last semester, I wanted to make sure I built in as much time for myself as possible. I chose my classes in a way that gave me Thursday and Friday off. Since the semester’s workload hasn’t really picked up yet, I spend most of my days off…
Setting Goals and Finding Clarity
Happy February! It’s week two and things are already getting busy here at Wellesley. Problem sets are starting, readings are piling up, and exams are already (!) around the corner. In light of that, I decided to attend an event put on by Career Education called “Quitting to Commit”. Sometimes I’m guilty of overcommitting and stretching myself too thin. At…
Hello 2020!
Hello everyone! Happy 2020! I hope everyone’s year (and semester) has been off to a good start. I am back at Wellesley for the spring after spending fall abroad in England. As per tradition, for the first post of the semester, I wanted to share with you all the courses I’ll be taking this semester, and what I’m looking forward…
last week of classes
Yesterday was LDOC (last day of classes) for the Fall semester. This semester has been a ride and I am glad that it is over! This was my last Fall semester at Wellesley. I keep noting these milestones as I get closer to graduation. I am a member of Yanvalou, a drum and dance group that focuses on the cultures…
Thanksgiving Break Recap
Hello from the bittersweet end of Thanksgiving break! It’s Sunday evening, and I’ll be back in class at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I’m trying to savor the last snippets of this short vacation. My mom took me home after I got off work on Tuesday afternoon. We picked up all the groceries on my shopping list, and I spent the…
The One with On Campus “Lectures”
Hi everyone!! So, One thing I was really excited about coming to college was the fact that I would have the opportunity to meet and listen to some pretty incredible people. An institution like Wellesley attracts a lot of really amazing and accomplished individuals who come to speak to the Wellesley community. Yes, I do realize that this sounds kind…
