Hello Blog, It’s a busy time here at Wellesley! Tuesday was the Tanner Conference, one of the two Wellesley-hosted conferences where students can present on the cool work they’re doing. Typically, people talk about their summer experiential learning experiences, so I gave a Tanner on my experience doing research at Caltech. It’s a really fun day because classes are canceled…
Facing Setbacks and Pushing Ahead
Hi all, As a student athlete, sports have been a major part of my identity and experience at Wellesley and even before. However, setbacks are a part of life, even for student athletes. While minor injuries can be frustrating setbacks, they don’t have to derail your progress. Here’s how to stay positive and make the most of your recovery time…
Building Independence
Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a fun and safe day. Today, I want to reflect on something not-so-spooky: building independence in college. Like many, coming to Wellesley is my first time fully living away from home. I live in Illinois, so I am a couple states away from my family. Up until Wellesley, I had only been away from…
Walking Around Wellesley
Happy Thursday! Today, I want to write about what takes up a lot of time in the day of the Wellesley student: walking around campus. Wellesley’s campus is on the smaller side of college campuses. The walk from my east side dorm to the west side Keohane Sports Center takes me about fifteen minutes. Students mostly walk around the campus…
Eat the Menu: Wellesley College Edition
Hi Blog, We’re going to do something a little different this week! I am going to show you some of my favorite meals so far from the dining halls on campus (with my sub-par food photography skills). At Wellesley, there are 4 different main dining halls, 2 cafes, and a few student-run co-ops. Most dining halls are either very close…
Day in the Life
Hi everyone! I haven’t done a day in the life blog recently, so I think that it’s time for one! I’m gonna take you with me through what an average Tuesday looks like in my life. My day starts with an alarm at 7:15 am and leaving the apartment at 7:40 am to catch my 7:52 am bus. I arrive…
Spring Semester, Course Browser and Post-grad!
Hi all, The upcoming and highly anticipated release of the spring semester’s course browser this week brings a sense of excitement as I plan for my final semester at Wellesley. It’s a milestone to be selecting my last two education and psychology courses, which will wrap up my academic focus in these areas. I’m looking forward to finishing strong and…
Rhode Islander for a Weekend
Happy Friday! Today, I will recap my past fall break in Rhode Island. Fall break is a long weekend here every October, with no classes on Monday for Indigenous Peoples’ Day and no classes the following day. This fall break, I visited one of my childhood best friends at her school, the University of Rhode Island (URI). Saturday morning, I…
(Final) Fall Break Recap
Hello Blog, I promised sentimentality this year, so here it comes. This was my last Wellesley College Fall Break! I guess every break from now on will be my last official “Wellesley College” break. Technically, this is my last 7th week of the fall semester. Anyway, fall break was this past weekend. Turns out, New York City was the popular…
Fall Break Recap
The time has finally come…for my Fall Break recap! For anyone curious what my trip to the Cape looked like, keep on reading! One of the big highlights was trying lobster for the first time at a local clam shack. I had always heard how amazing Cape Cod seafood is, so I figured it was time to give it a…
