Hi all! Can you believe it is April?! I certainly cannot! We are in the home stretch of classes and coursework to keep up with. I for one have been feeling some of the effects of burnout and thought it was only fitting that we talk about how to recognize and address feelings of burnout when in the busiest time…
When I’m back in Chicago, I feel it…
Happy almost April! I’m back at Wellesley after our spring break. I did not go to glamorous Miami or Cancun, but instead headed back home to Chicago; it’s basically the same thing as Miami or Cancun. Back at home, I first did a lot of shopping at malls and downtown Chicago with my family. I am doing a Wellesley-funded internship…
Welcome Back to Wellesley!
Hi all, Wow, has it been some time since we last chatted?! I have greatly missed my time to blog and am grateful to be back and writing. To be honest, I have been having a few medical concerns that needed to get resolved, which meant I had to take a step back from some of my favorite activities. While…
Spring Break Recap
Hello blog, Long time no talk! I’m back from spring break and ready to take on the final six weeks of the semester. I had one of my best spring breaks yet! Usually, I just take some time off to relax at home with my family before coming back to campus. This time, though, I did that for the first…
Spring Break!!!
Hi everyone! I’m writing this on a Saturday night at the end of my spring break on campus. I wasn’t planning on getting anything done before tomorrow (yes, I plan not doing things, it’s very necessary sometimes), but I got a burst of energy and decided to check off some stuff off of my to-do list. So, let me tell…
Happening on Campus

Today, I want to share some things happening on campus and give a glimpse into current life here at Wellesley. Clapp Library Renovations Our main library on campus, Clapp Library, is being renovated. Renovations began this semester, and it was…
Almost There!
Hello Blog, Happy Spring Break! I am preemptively writing this as a way to manifest that I finish the monster of a problem set that I’m currently working on for physical chemistry. For most of the people in the course, we all took calculus virtually in high school during COVID, so we’re reaching pretty far back in our foundational math…
Celebrating traditions in Wellesley
Hi everyone! March is a pretty busy month back home because a few of our bigger holidays are in the first two weeks of that month. The first of March is Baba Marta, a holiday dedicated to the ending of winter and the welcoming of spring. We usually wear red and white bracelets that our family and friends have given…
Midterms Season (but not for me 🙏)
Hello Blog, The couple of weeks before spring break are usually pretty busy in college, but I’m in the strange position this year where it’s quite the opposite! The first 6 weeks of the semester went by in a blur, and now I feel like I get to chug along at a normal pace. A lot of my friends are…
MIT Class Day
I want to continue my post from last week and explain what a day in the life looks like when I take my class at MIT! My class is once a week for three hours in the evening. I take the convenient school shuttle, called the loco, to get to MIT’s campus. On weekdays, the loco makes a stop in…
