My roommate and I have a joke that every time we have been to Boston, three out of three times, we took a pit-stop at the TJ Maxx right by the Hynes Convention Center station. Of all places to go, we end up in the red and white aisles every time, poking fun at the blindingly colorful array of flannels,…
A Fall Break to Remember
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day back from fall break here at Wellesley, and I am feeling very reenergized. Here’s a brief rundown of everything I did over my fall break: Saturday: Guild Field Trip! The Wellesley College Guild of Carillonneurs visited a conference in Cohasset, Massachusetts for the Northeast chapter of the Guild…
A Busy Fall Break
Today is my first official day back from Fall Break. I loved my time off (though it wasn’t really off considering the amount of homework I was supposed to be doing), but am so glad to be back in the swing of things. Even during the break, I seemed to be more busy than usual. I am posting a little…
First times (in a long time)
It’s been a big week for bringing back things that have been on pause since the pandemic began. For one thing, reusable dishes are finally back in the dining halls. I’m so used to using my own bamboo silverware that I keep forgetting to pick up a fork and knife. This is half of the student body’s first time navigating…
Admitting Defeat
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a bit of a weird week for me. If you’ve read my last couple of blog posts, you probably know that I’ve been struggling with trying to do it all this semester, and in the past week that really caught up to me. If I were to go for a metaphor,…
So This Is Midterms?
Good morning everybody and happy Wednesday! These past couple of weeks have been hectic academically because, as it was recently revealed to me, we are in the midterm period. I was under the impression that midterms would be a scheduled week-long period when all of my classes would have exams- you know, like how it is in the movies. And…
An ode to outdoor tables
I studied abroad in southern Spain for the last quarter of last school year, so I’ve had, weather-wise, a longer summer than usual. I began wearing shorts consistently in April, not late May, and the warm weather followed me home to Framingham at the end of the semester. Sunny days in the mid-70s are my favorite. If winter never happened,…
No Power in Tower
Hi blog! I am writing to you from the Wellesley Bus heading into Boston with a few friends to go get some work done at a pressed cafe and have some fun after. I actually went to pressed cafe for the first time on Thursday. This Thursday all of campus lost power halfway through the day so my friends…
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! I’m writing my post a little later in the day than usual because I just finished my first essay of the semester! It was for Happiness, the pre-eighteenth century literature class I’m taking, and I wrote the first paragraph while the Help Desk was slow this morning and the other four pages in the…
Mac&Cheese for Thought
Yep, this was from one of those days. Actually, this entire week was (and still is – I mean, it’s only Wednesday) a bit of a drag. I got assigned my first two essays (which isn’t much compared to the rest of Wellesley’s humanities majors’ workloads) and I had spent far too many hours battling a NEUR100 problem set. A few…
