Happy Thursday, dear readers! Today is going to be a great day; I don’t know how your morning went, but mine started with chocolate chip pancakes and bacon at Tower, which is always a great omen! We’re closely approaching the end of the semester here at Wellesley; we had our final HOCO on Tuesday, tomorrow is the last day…

Nearing the End and Missing Campus
Finals are once again creeping up. I have a midterm this Tuesday so I spent most of this week studying, and meeting up with my group for some study sessions as well. It’s been a pretty stressful week since it’s the second to last week of the term and the last round of midterms and finals are looming around. …
Roses and Buds
The time in between Thanksgiving and winter break is always filled with papers, deadlines, and presentations. My two classes are going really well (they complement one another beautifully), the vaccine news makes me extremely hopeful (mask wearing and social distancing are still important though!), and one week of classes left (which means I’m almost halfway through senior year). Lately I’ve…
Light the Lamp, Not the Rat!
This week’s blog title might sound a little bit like nonsense to you- although anyone familiar with The Muppet Christmas Carol, one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, will surely get the reference- but this is one of many silly pieces of advice I’ve decided to take to heart this finals season. This year has been hard.…
Holiday Confusion
Every week, Thursday catches me by surprise; it seems like time is moving so much faster than I ever thought possible, and now there are only three weeks left until I’m on my way back home for the holidays! I love my time at Wellesley, but I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t looking forward to being…
My (Meeting!) Monday Routine
Hello hello! I’m back a bit later this week than usual, with some exciting updates! Usually, I try to post weekly, but this past week, I found myself overloaded with work. But I just turned in my first paper and it feels great! We’ve just completed week four now (halfway through term 2!) so the craziness is justified. Today, I…
Movin’ Right Along
According to my countdown app, today marks my 90th day on the Wellesley campus! It’s a little weird to think about that; ninety days ago I packed up all of my stuff from Hotel Wellesley and rode a bus for ten minutes to reach my home for the next four years. It definitely wasn’t the beginning I had imagined at…
Seeing the Brighter Side
This has been a week of everything and nothing all at once and I am quite glad to be almost at the end of it. The New York Times has now listed the Cedar Rapids metro area as the number one spot in the nation where coronavirus cases are rising the fastest and “Where There May Be Bad News…
What Felt Like the Longest Week Ever
Phew! It has been quite an eventful week. Monday was my 21st birthday! I had a lovely day – definitely not what I imagined it to be, but still very special. The first part of my day was filled with meetings and class, but after I had time to celebrate. My parents and I ended up going for a sunset…
A sigh of relief
This week began with snow on the ground and nervous anticipation ahead of the election. It’s ending with a president-elect and unseasonably warm weather (5 straight days above 70℉ in November is not normal). In other exciting news, my computer came back to life, the dining halls put on a to-go version of bread and cheese night (not to brag,…
