Hello hello! As we approach the last few weeks of term, everything is starting to become busier and busier. I’m in the midst of data collection for my psycholinguistics dissertation, and I spent all day Wednesday and Thursday running participants.

Art at Wellesley
I’ve been taking an Art History class on African Art taught by Professor Nikki Greene. It is definitely one of my favorite classes that I have taken at Wellesley. Although I am not an Art History major, I love art. I have always wanted to formally study it, but never really found the time. I am very glad that I…
Hello, November!
Happy November everyone! Oh my goodness. I’m feeling so much better, and I have a few updates to share from this week! After 14,000 words, seven papers, and quite a lot of philosophical musings, my Philosophy of Mind supervision (or “supo” as Cambridge kids would say) ended on Wednesday. It felt bittersweet to end my paper, but I still have…
Family weekend !
Although I was just home, my mother and grandmother decided to pop over to Wellesley for family and friends weekend. The weekend is filled with events for parents and friends who come to visit their Wellesley student. It was a way for me to show my family the places I talk about so much when I am at home. I…

I really like introductions!
Hi everyone! An introduction is long overdue. My name is Macy, and I’m a newly-minted first-year here at Wellesley. My first month of college has been exciting and fun and exhausting. Everyone I’ve met has been so nice, and my return to academia after my gap year has been surprisingly smooth. I live in the best dorm on campus, Shafer,…
The One With The Introduction and “Why Wellesley?”
Hi! I’m Ilma, and this will be my first blog post! I just wanted to start off with a quick introduction: I am a first year here at Wellesley College (Class of 2023). I am coming from Queens, New York but am originally from Pakistan. My major is very much undeclared, since I’ve only been in college for about a…
A Letter to a Future Intern: What I’ve Learned This Summer
Hi future intern! Hope you’re doing well. If you’re nervous to start your internship, don’t be. Everyone is looking forward to having you there, and I’m sure they are absolutely thrilled you’re joining the team. While I’m writing this, I currently have two days left as an intern at Medical Legal Partnership Boston (MLPB), and I’ve learned so much that…
More Wonderful, Inexpensive Things in Boston
Hey everyone! As the summer is winding down, I thought it would be fitting to write about great, inexpensive activities to do around Boston. My roommate and I have been trying to make the most of the city since we’re leaving so soon, so here are my top weekend activities so far: Picnic on the Charles Esplanade (extra awesome if…
A Whirlwind Weekend in NYC
Hi, all! Hope everyone is having a great Friday. Today, I thought I would switch it up from Boston and head south! Recently, my friend and I took a quick weekend trip to New York City. One of the best parts of the East Coast is how close together everything is. So, after a quick four hour bus ride, we…
