Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day of classes here at Wellesley; I had my first French class this morning and this afternoon I will be attending my very first in person convocation ceremony, which I am very excited about. I’m not entirely sure what exactly a convocation is, but I’ll be sure to update you…
June, July, August, and Now
June was hot, I was finally fully vaccinated, and the whole summer stretched ahead of me. I biked with Adeline on the South Shore, met Maddie in Boston for donuts, and walked Crosstown Trail with a friend from home. I ran the Callahan trails, got takeout from Green Leaf, and had to say goodbye to my doggo, Tootsie. July saw…
My Summer in a Glance
Hi blog! Hope you all had a fabulous summer. I had the most amazing summer experience. To fast-track where I left off, I spent this summer in NYC for my finance internship—and while growing my knowledge in finance, I met some of the most amazing people in the world and made memories that’ll last me a lifetime. After a year…
Sophomore Year: Back in Action
Happy Wednesday everyone, and welcome to the Wellesley Student Blog! My name is Andrew (he/him), and I’m a sophomore here at Wellesley returning to the blog for my second year. For those of you who are returning readers, you might notice that the name and pronouns I use now are a little different from the ones you were used to…
Life is Art. Art is Life: Lessons for a Meaningful in Life from Art
This is my final blog post at Wellesley College ever. Instead of a traditional reflection post, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite paper submissions.

The End (For Now)
Hello blog, and happy last blog of the year! This post is coming in late because I’ve been thinking about what I want to say for a week now and I’m still having trouble finding the right words. I thought for a little bit about just ending with last week’s post, but I think that a wrap up is…
Pop quiz
For my last blog post of the academic year, I’ve prepared a pop quiz. Question 1: I am… back from term 4 in Spain halfway through college grateful to Wellesley for bringing us back to campus this year excited for the summer all of the above 🙂 I flew home on Friday after a day and…
Olive tour and the fair
This was our last week of classes in Cordoba (at least in theory—my environmental science class actually meets Monday and Tuesday). This past Monday feels like forever ago, but like every week here, this one has gone by fast. I had plans to rent bikes and toodle around with my friend Heidi on Monday afternoon, but it turned out that…
The Penultimate Post of My First Year
Hello, blog! As you might be able to tell by the lateness of this post, it’s been quite a week. Actually, that might not be true. This week really hasn’t been more of a week than any other week this year, but I think that when you add all of the weeks that came before this week to the…
