Hello! Let’s just put it this way, finals week is hitting hard! This term has been pretty nice such that I’ve been able to balance academics and free time very well. Then, finals week came along and hit like a trainwreck. I am partly joking and partly not. On the bright side, it’s just one week of full focus mode,…
Going to bed early — or not
Friday night, in the hallway on the fifth floor of Caz: “Oh wow, it’s already 9:00.” “Are you tired?” “You look tired.” And then, an hour later, “Oh wow, it’s already 10:00.” I dragged myself to my feet and looped my arms through my backpack straps. My friends Joy and Kana leaned over the banister and watched me go downstairs.…
Warmer Days and This Past Weekend
This past week was filled with warm, Spring-is-here weather! I’m currently writing this on a cloudy Friday morning from the Political Science department with a cup of tea beside me. It’s been humid these past few days, which is quite on brand for the east coast. Currently, we’re approaching the end of week 6, which means that finals are next…
Back to the Future
Happy Spring, blog! We’re in the thick of it here at Wellesley, with only three days of class left in the term, and as all endings tend to do, this week has been making me think about the future, from the very near to the very far. Tomorrow is yet another one of those beautiful days where two different…
Take yourself on a date
Hi! With one more week of class left, we’re now in the thick of this term. It’s hard not to feel stressed at the moment; Next week, I have my final and a few days after that is the deadline for my research paper. I am looking forward to the spring break week we have in between T3 and T4,…
Feeling a little bit lighter
Things are looking up. Though we’ve had a few warm days sprinkled in over the past few weeks, it seems like spring is finally here to stay. The Adirondack chairs on the quad are fully occupied. Yesterday I had a photoshoot and a picnic with friends, and today I went for another beautiful bike ride. I just took a 45-minute…
Another Week, A Couple More Stories
What a week, blog! I’m really getting back into the swing of things here on campus, and not a moment too soon (one could argue that it’s a little late, given that there’s only one week of classes left in Term 3, but I’m choosing to be grateful it happened at all)! I haven’t exactly stuck to the letter…
Hitting Reset
I’m looking back through my Google calendar to see what happened this past week. Not going to lie, it was a long one. I think the combination of school work, pandemic fatigue, and constantly changing New England weather all culminated in a lot of stress and burnout. The hot water in Lake House also was acting a bit dodgy for…
Premature graduation anxiety
Hi everyone! The term is more than halfway through…it goes by very quickly. This is around the time that the term begins to get very stressful, however, I am trying to be proactive and prevent myself from too much stress. For one of my courses, Econometrics, we have a final research paper where we will investigate a causal relationship.…
Gratitude
Even though I lost an SD card outside this week while I was taking photos, and I lost a friendship bracelet I was making for a high school friend and I hate losing things, and I feel like I’ll be applying to summer internships until I die, and daylight savings robbed me of an hour of sleep last night, and…
