Fall break is in full swing and it is just as relaxing as I’d planned and exciting as I’d hoped. Pretty much everything I’ve done this week has all centered around one beautiful, magical, fantastic place- my dorm, Pomeroy Hall! I’m not sure if this is something I’ve mentioned at all in my blog, but I happen to be…

First Term, The Finals Jam
And just like that it all flew by- I’m at the end of my first term at Wellesley! It still feels a little bit too early for any sort of personal reflection- I’ll save that for the ends of semesters and of years- but I do think it’s time for a little bit of looking back, and what better…
Weekly Updates and Reflections
We made it to the end of Week 6, which means one thing… final exams are next week! The term system has really kept me on my toes. I spent way too much time on a Statistics problem set on Thursday and Friday, so this weekend is a much needed break from it all. After a Netflix Party watching Legend…
Learning to Think Economically
The birds are chirping, the grass is green, and the sun is rising on my first fall at Wellesley College! It feels both like I’ve been here forever and I just got here yesterday. As you might remember from my first post, I arrived at Wellesley very undecided on what I wanted to major in. This hasn’t changed a…
What Being a Virtual Student (at Wellesley!) is Really Like
Hello hello! Welcome back to another post. We have two weeks left of term 1, so final exams and papers are imminent. Before jumping in to my post today, I wanted to share some fall@Wellesley photos Katie sent me the other day. I can almost feel the crisp air and hear the crunch of leaves on the ground. Over here…
Oh The Places We Go
Before anyone says anything, I promise I really was planning to post my “Why Wellesley?” story this week! I was getting all ready to sit down and write about it this morning, when I started thinking about how important visiting campus was for me when I was choosing a college. How can I expect you to know what it’s really…
Civic Engagement and The Lovely Group on Campus Known as Ministrare Council
Happy Fall everyone! Fall is my favorite time of year, in general and at Wellesley. Some of my friends on campus have been sending me pictures of Wellesley recently, and it’s evident that the leaves are starting to change and the weather is becoming cooler. In San Diego, it’s still very warm – I think it’s going to be in…
Life On Top of the World
To quote Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I find this to be especially true of life at Wellesley. I had always heard that at Wellesley College time moves at a different rate than normal time, but I don’t think I really understood what that…
First Month Blues
If there’s one thing no one has ever called living through a pandemic, it’s easy. Coping with the pandemic during a major life change- say, moving a thousand miles away to go to college- sometimes seems almost impossible. If you ask any Wellesley first year what their college experience has been like so far, they’ll probably all come up with…
Honey, I’m home!
Welcome back everyone! I wanted to quickly (re)introduce myself, in case you’re new here: My name is Shreya, and I’m a senior at Wellesley this year. Where has the time gone?! I’ve been blogging for the Wellesley College Admissions Office since my sophomore year: I’ve written weekly posts about my summer internship in Boston, experience studying abroad in Cambridge, England,…
