Hello Blog, Welcome back!! After a wonderful and restful winter break at home (working on my thesis), I am officially back on campus. I’m sad to say that this is my final semester as a student at Wellesley college, and thus, this will be my last semester posting to this blog. But never fear (I say to myself), we have…
Back to Wellesley
Hi everyone! Guess who is back in Wellesley? It’s really amazing being here. It’s great seeing all of my friends, my favorite professors, even the geese again! What was not so great though was the weather this week—it was freezing cold the whole first week of classes. It’s starting to get better now, but it’s still rather cold, and there’s…
Reflections on Winter Break: Back to Running, Retail and Rest
Hi all, Winter break was a magical time—a time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the people and activities that ground us. For me, this year’s winter break was a much-needed opportunity to step back from the busy rhythm of college life and embrace everything that makes home so special. From rediscovering my stride in running after an injury to…
7 Semesters (almost) Down, 1 to Go…
Hello Blog, And just like that, another fall semester in the books! Fall at Wellesley is always one of my favorite times. You truly cannot beat the fall foliage in New England, and it obviously doesn’t hurt that Wellesley’s campus is beautiful. We even got our first snow of the season, though it didn’t stick for too long. Honestly, as…
Forward Facing
Happy last blog post of 2024! I seriously cannot believe I am more than halfway done with college. I know Wellesley early decision 1 results came out recently, so if you are an admitted student reading this, massive congratulations to you, and I hope these blog posts can give some better insight into student life here! Here at Wellesley, classes…
So long, Edinburgh
Hey everyone! Welcome to my last blog post from Scotland and the last one before I am back in Wellesley in January. It has honestly been a wild ride. I have met so many amazing people that I am going to miss, I have visited so many interesting and beautiful places, and I have learned so much about Scotland and…
The Final Stretch: Wrapping Up the Semester and Looking Ahead to Winter Break
As the semester draws to a close, the energy on campus feels electric. Final papers are being written, group projects are coming together, and the library has become a second home for many. For me, this week is a mix of reflection, determination, and anticipation. It’s my last fall semester, and while that realization carries a touch of nostalgia, it…
Last Full Week of the Semester
Hello Blog, As the name implies, this is the full last week of classes for the fall semester. Thanksgiving break was really late this year, so the semester is rapidly coming to a close. During Thanksgiving break I went home to spend time with my family. I am usually a huge proponent of the post-Thanksgiving meal walk, but it was…
Post-Thanksgiving Reflections: Rest, Relaxation, and Resetting for Finals
Thanksgiving break came and went, but it left me with memories to savor and energy to carry me through the whirlwind of finals season. This year, I was lucky to experience something truly special: a trip to the Dominican Republic with my boyfriend’s family. It was the perfect mix of adventure, connection, and rejuvenation, and I couldn’t be more grateful.…
Status Update
Happy almost-end of semester! I say this every year, but genuinely this fall went by sooo fast. I flew back home last week for Thanksgiving break and had an awesome time being back with my family. My aunt also stayed with us, and I saw some of my best friends! Now, we just have a few weeks left in the…
