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…
Getting My Head Back in the Game
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the transition back to living on campus hasn’t exactly been easy for me this semester. I’ve found myself being really unmotivated to get anything done and constantly waiting for the time in between classes, after homework and practice times and meetings are over and I can just lie in my bed and pretend my…
Midterm Craziness (Already)
Hello from a Wellesley student knee deep in midterm craziness – dense readings, philosophy presentations, and papers await. We’ve reached almost the end of week 4, which means our term is a little more than halfway done. Blasphemy! I forgot how fast the term system moves. Just as I start to feel comfortable and grounded in my classes, more work…
Birthday’s and Song of the week?
Hi everyone! This week has been quite nice. Despite having a midterm tomorrow, I spent this weekend with family celebrating my cousin’s birthday and took some time to relax. I also took time to study in case you were worrying about my midterm tomorrow. My cousin who moved to Miami in the midst of COVID turned 26 this weekend.…
