Hi blog!! I am writing to you as I am currently on my way to the Dartmouth v. Harvard game. My boyfriend goes to Dartmouth and his frat took a bus down to Harvard to come watch the game and tailgate. It’s going to be very fun which is fitting since it’s Halloween weekend. After the game, I’ll probably take…
Crew season ended, and I bought my ticket to Quito
Last weekend was Head of the Charles, the largest regatta in the world, which takes place on the river where my team rows every day. I raced HOCR for the first time, and it was incredible. So many people cheered for us along the course: students, alums, faculty and staff, parents, friends. The day was beautiful and sunny, albeit windy,…
A Wonderful Weekend
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This is a magical and momentous week for a number of reasons. Most importantly: I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECLARED MY MAJOR!! As of this evening, I am officially an Education Studies major! I have an advisor and a major plan and a whole bunch of future plans and I could not be more…
Spooky Weekends at Wellesley
Hello everybody and happy early Halloweekend! It is a rainy day in Wellesley falling smack-dab in the middle of a very rainy week. We have been living between torrential downpours since yesterday and it looks to continue through the holiday weekend- ugh. This means I am experiencing walking to class in bad weather for the first time, too. Last night,…
Live Music and a Twenty One Pilots Concert
No matter in what form or genre, live music always brings me joy. Wellesley features several live music clubs including acapella groups like the Tupelos and Wellesley Widows, ensembles like the Chamber Music Society (which I am a part of!) and BlueJazz, choirs like the Wellesley College Choir, and really cool groups like the Guild of Carillonneurs and Yanvalou. The…
Stress Aside
Hi Blog! As mentioned in my last post, this past week has been so stressful due to having so many assignments all due in one week. But, I survived! Still, the semester has been busier and I have a few assignments due next week that I’ve started working on this weekend, so my workload won’t be as bad as…
Opening Doors
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a week of a lot of things, as most weeks are. I think one of the best things about Wellesley is that there are always so many different things happening all at once, but sometimes that means you have to bury your head in the sand a little bit and stay…
Apple-Picking in October with Zeta Alpha
There have been too many days at Wellesley where it looked so beautiful outside – when sunlight would filter perfectly through the tree leaves and Lake Waban would glisten as though it were covered in glitter. On too many of those days, I stayed in and studied instead, wallowing with fellow Wellesley peoples in the packed Clapp library. But, this…
Its Happening! My First Wellesley Fall
Good morning and happy Wednesday! The campus is feeling especially cozy this week with the first wave of crisp fall weather and the leaves changing all around. I am trying to enjoy this brief respite from the hustle and bustle and soak up that beginning-of-fall goodness while it lasts. Lake Waban is looking especially gorgeous as of late with everything…
MarMon, fall “break,” and a whole mess of essays to write
This week, as a junior, I finally got my first Marathon Monday. I had a blast cheering for the athletes, beginning with the wheelchair racers and continuing through the general field of runners. I recognized some of the pros, and when the regular folks started coming through, we cheered louder every time we saw a woman. At crew practice later…
