My to-do list during online school is as long as it always was at Wellesley. My professors are keeping me busy. When I’m not “at college” (ie in my bedroom doing schoolwork), I’ve been on the lookout for signs of spring. Birds are constantly singing. It’s beautiful, but it’s hard to track down the source of the sound. Luckily for…
So, How Are College Classes Online?!
Safe to say, it’s been a hectic past few weeks. On March 12th, Wellesley decided to move to online learning for the rest of the semester, and requested that students (if able) depart for home immediately. I decided to book my flight for the 13th. What happened within the next 24 hours was a combination of tearful goodbyes, hasty packing,…
week two online
This week marked the second week of online classes. I’m starting to get used to it but I will admit, it is still not ideal. Most of my professors have downsized the course in order to focus on the readings and discussion. We do not have many assignments or projects to work on. Personally, I am very happy this. Working…
Wellesley College: Walnut Creek, CA Campus
Hello friends! I absolutely cannot believe that it is April already! Today, we are mid-way through our second week of online classes. I am starting to develop a routine again and I now consider myself a Zoom expert! Here in Nor-Cal, we can still leave the house so long as we practice social distancing, so I have been taking daily…
One Week Online
This was the first week of remote classes. I have a lot of schoolwork, but since I’m home, it feels like I should be on vacation. This whole thing is just… odd. As I mentioned last week, I haven’t done homework at home since ninth grade. Before Monday, it had been years since I made myself breakfast in the kitchen…
10 More Wonderful Aspects About Wellesley
Happy April everyone! Today concludes Wellesley’s first week of online classes/remote learning. I’d say it was a success, and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of the semester. I can’t even begin to say how much I miss my friends, professors, and campus, but I’ll take Zoom classes over nothing any day. Anyway, I’m back again this week, to…
work from home
I’m back after about three weeks. I have been spending the last few weeks moving out of Wellesley, moving back home and just settling myself in. All of this is still quite unbelievable, but I am making it day by day. I wanted to give you an update on what’s been going on with me. I’ve been home in New…
Podcasts & Pickleball
Long runs lend themselves to podcasts. With crew season suddenly over, my weekly running mileage has jumped from 0 to almost 30. Summer running, as I’ve come to think of my seasonal affair with the sport, has begun early, and I find myself actually looking forward to the next day’s run. It’s fun to be in a position physically where…
Welcome 2024!
Hello hello! I wanted to talk about one thing specifically for my post today: WELLESLEY CLASS OF 2024!!!! You look amazing from here, and we can’t wait to meet you. Although spring open campus is canceled this year, I wanted to share 20 wonderful things to get our prospies (aka you, admitted student, reading this!) excited for Wellesley. I’ll share…
Does It Spark Joy?
I have now been home (and inside!!) for over a week which means that I have begun procrastinating in new and exciting ways. I have rewatched episodes of The Office on Netflix, briefly took up cross stitching, and started reading Pride and Prejudice. Now I am Marie Kondoing (yes, I just made that a verb!). Perhaps you haven’t heard of…
