You’ll never guess the moments that made this college student’s year! Number 6 is shocking. What are your thoughts? Comment below! 👇 There were also, of course, incredible moments that didn’t yield photos. Thanks for a great first year, Wellesley. I’ve loved sharing my life with you all, and I hope…
Finals Week!
The last day of class has come and gone! This semester––my whole first year really––has flown by and I cannot believe that as of Friday I will be a sophomore. Although I imagined being at Wellesley with my friends enjoying a New England spring, I am reflecting on my favorite memories from my first year and looking forward to being…
High, Low, Grateful
Thursday was my last day of classes! There was no LDOC concert or lounging on the quad with friends. It doesn’t feel like the end of a semester, but come Friday, I’ll have completed my first year of college. At Shabbat dinners in the Jewish student lounge, which were always a highlight of my Wellesley weeks, we would go around…
thesis done !
This will be another short update from home. I submitted my thesis! After over a year of research and preparation, I finally submitted all 88 pages of my thesis today. These last two months or so have been very difficult, therefore, the fact that I completed this project is a win for me. It’s not exactly how I wanted it,…
The Cooking Continues
The last week of classes is already upon us! I feel like time paused when I left Wellesley, so it’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that just one week of class and one week of finals stand between me and sophomore year. It’s been one heck of a ride. I’m at the point in the semester when…
The Simple Things
Hi everyone! I’m a bit behind on posting, so I’m combining last week and this week’s post into one. It’s hard to comprehend, but this week is the last full week of classes for my junior year. In a few short days, I’ll officially be a senior at Wellesley College. There are some papers starting to pile up, and work…
Tidying Up and Catching Up
Earlier this week, I was hit with a sudden and unrelenting urge to rearrange my furniture. It was so strong that I stopped mid-work on Monday afternoon and started pushing my bed toward the other wall. I didn’t measure anything beforehand; I just moved the big things and filled in the gaps. Two hours later, after some complications with my…
Harpin’ around
This is my third (fourth?) week of online classes. This week, in my art history class, we did a movement workshop. On our original syllabus, we had a class on movement with a performance artist. Since we’ve moved online, our class took place on Zoom. Going in, I was not sure what to expect but it turned out to…
A Busy Week at Home
Happy Earth Day friends! I write to you from my sunny desk after a lovely walk. Today is one of those spring days that I absolutely love. For one, it is 79º here which to me is the perfect temperature for hanging out without overheating. It’s a clear day, the flowers are blooming, and neighbors are out walking with their…
What I’ve Been Doing in Quarantine
Hello hello! I hope everyone reading this is having a good day and staying healthy! It’s been about six weeks since I’ve been back from Wellesley (time just flies). Today I thought it would be nice to just share some of my favorite things to do while at home. Here’s what has been keeping sane: Netflix Party + Zoom On…
