Hello, blog! Today, I have an exciting announcement: I’m getting vaccinated! Cue the cheers, applause, etc. Massachusetts officially moved into stage three earlier this week, and Anastasija and I were able to snag appointments in Boston tonight. Wellesley is making an exception on their Boston-travel ban for vaccination purposes, and a couple of upperclassmen set up a ride network…
On campus life???
Hey! We’re back in session with classes. I think there’s a general sense of enthusiasm around students that this will be our last ride with the term system. Personally, I am very excited to go back to the semester system we know and love. Yet, weirdly enough the thought of taking four courses at once (as we typically do) freaks…
One week in Spain
I have been in Spain for a week! It’s been a good week. I’ve kept myself busy just walking around Córdoba, getting sorbet from different gelato places, and, of course, going to class. First, the walking. Córdoba is home to four UNESCO World Heritage sites. The hotel where we spent the first four days was right near the Roman bridge…
Solving All My Problems With a Single Twinkle-Think
Hello again, blog, and happy Thursday! I’m in a really good mood today, and I feel like lately I’ve finally started to really enjoy my life on campus the way I did first term. Most of it is probably due to the way I’ve started thinking about the future; I’ve stopped thinking about my major as some sort of end-all-be-all…
Thriving and Surviving
Long time no see! I reveled in spring break. I thrived! Albeit it wasn’t your typical spring break like that you’d see in the movies, but it was well lived. I spent time at the beach, with my boyfriend and my friends, and ate some amazing food. My friend from high school had recently came back to Miami from college…
My spring break to-do list
I went into spring break with a list of fun things I wanted to do. To make sure they happened, I put lunches and walks and bike rides on my calendar. And they did. Monday began with a run, since rowing was cancelled due to the wind. I went to an orientation call for my T4 in Spain program. After…
Spring Breakers
Howdy, blog, and happy Thursday! Spring break is in full swing here at Wellesley, and I could not be happier about how things are going so far. Even the fire alarm testing in my dorm every morning starting at nine am couldn’t kill my good mood. In celebration of the total awesomeness that has been this week, I’ll be…
My last weekend at Wellesley
I hardly spent any time in my room today. Joy and Kana and I are making a video about the best bathrooms on campus (plus one of the worst). I loved joking about doing this but doubted would actually happen, but we spent the morning walking around campus and getting shots of our favorite stalls. I’m so excited for Joy…
Meaning of Life and The End of Term 3
Today marks the first day of Term 3 finals. For my philosophy seminar, our final project was to write and present a commencement speech based on the Meaning of Life and our semester readings. I presented my speech last night in a small group over Zoom and it went well! This officially means I’m 75% done with my senior year…
April Come She Will
Happy April Fools! Today marks the second day of reading period here at Wellesley, which is no laughing matter. I’m currently knee deep in research for my final history essay, and I’m preparing to take my Tolstoy exam tomorrow, too. I will be the first to admit that this term definitely kicked my butt, and at the end of…
