Week 6 & Finals

It’s week 6! This term has gone by so quickly, and most of next week will be spent studying for finals. Most W students haven’t found the term system to be too overwhelming and stressful. In the beginning of the term, I honestly really enjoyed the term system, but towards the last few weeks, that’s when it became very overwhelming…

Running routes

The path around Lake Waban measures a little over two miles. Some parts are rocky, some parts are narrow, and one part is a boardwalk through a marsh. I’d bet that every runner on campus has run that path. But it’s short, and the terrain is really uneven in some parts, and a large section of it is closed off…

Weekly Updates and Reflections

We made it to the end of Week 6, which means one thing… final exams are next week! The term system has really kept me on my toes. I spent way too much time on a Statistics problem set on Thursday and Friday, so this weekend is a much needed break from it all. After a Netflix Party watching Legend…

Three Lessons…

Hi! Today I wanted to dedicate my post to discussing my personal growth in college. After 2 years in college, I think I’ve learned so much about the world, other people, and myself. I think it’s so important to reflect on my life over a period and consider what I value.  Here are a few of the ways my perspective…

What Being a Virtual Student (at Wellesley!) is Really Like

Hello hello! Welcome back to another post. We have two weeks left of term 1, so final exams and papers are imminent. Before jumping in to my post today, I wanted to share some fall@Wellesley photos Katie sent me the other day. I can almost feel the crisp air and hear the crunch of leaves on the ground. Over here…

Saying yes

I love getting a good night’s sleep. Ever since I went off to boarding school, I’ve noticed that I prioritize sleep more than many of my peers do. I’m no stranger to falling asleep in class (especially last fall, when I had three classes in a row starting at 8:30 and I had been up since 4:30 a.m. for crew),…

Oh The Places We Go

Before anyone says anything, I promise I really was planning to post my “Why Wellesley?” story this week! I was getting all ready to sit down and write about it this morning, when I started thinking about how important visiting campus was for me when I was choosing a college. How can I expect you to know what it’s really…

Birthdays & Reflections

Another week has gone by and it feels like time is going by fast! I arrived in New York last Saturday and it’s been so nice to spend more time with my sister and explore the city with her while still being able to do my courses.  This weekend is my sister’s birthday so we celebrated as much as we…

Learning to scull

On my bike ride yesterday, as I coasted past green fields and golden-orange leaves, I thought, wow, early September, the leaves are changing! Then I remembered that it’s going to be October on Thursday. Changing leaves and changing weather remind me that, contrary to how I’ve felt for the past six months, time is passing.  I learned to scull this…
