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…
Another Week, A Couple More Stories
What a week, blog! I’m really getting back into the swing of things here on campus, and not a moment too soon (one could argue that it’s a little late, given that there’s only one week of classes left in Term 3, but I’m choosing to be grateful it happened at all)! I haven’t exactly stuck to the letter…
Getting My Head Back in the Game
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the transition back to living on campus hasn’t exactly been easy for me this semester. I’ve found myself being really unmotivated to get anything done and constantly waiting for the time in between classes, after homework and practice times and meetings are over and I can just lie in my bed and pretend my…
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…
A Dynamic Duo
As I mentioned in my last post, this semester has been a lot different than the last for a couple reasons, one of the biggest being my block. Last semester, I had four blockmates, and as of right now it’s just me and Anastasija! Going from having a whole bunch of go-to people to just having one was a…
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,…
Back On Campus and Back In Business!
Well folks, it has been a wild three weeks back on campus following the beautiful two months I spent napping and watching Criminal Minds on my couch, and I’m just getting back into the swing of all things Wellesley College! I’m a little bit ashamed to admit this, but in these weeks on campus I somehow haven’t managed to…
The Beginning of the End
I’m back! After a rejuvenating 7 week break (consisting of lots of chess and Netflix), 2,000 miles of traveling, 4 hours of unpacking, and (trust me when I say) many negative COVID tests, I’m back at Wellesley!! It feels so strange. The place is the same, but everything around me is different. It’s a nice change of pace after being…
One Down, Seven to Go!
I’m starting to write this on Monday, in hopes that the end product that pops up on your computer screens Thursday afternoon or late morning will somehow be an incredibly thoughtful and cohesive review of my first semester of college. The probability of that occurring is probably not very high, given how muddled with finals and packing and going and…
