Hi! Our one week break flew by so quickly, but it was such a nice time to relax and chill out.In a typical semester, we have a similar break called fall break, so that’s what I am gonna call this break. I went to New Hampshire for the break to visit and stay with my close friend. While I was…
I declared my major!
I declared my peace & justice studies major yesterday! It was anticlimactic. I filled out a form that looks like it hasn’t changed since it first went electronic, noting down which courses I plan to take to fulfill the requirements, and that was it. No confetti. No applause. Just me and one more thing checked off my to-do list. So…
The One with the End of Term 1 and a Much Needed Break
This past week was our Fall Break, marking the transition between T1 and T2 (Wellesley is using a term system this year to adapt to Covid-19 related changes). Finals week and reading period went well overall but were definitely stressful as they were compressed into a shorter period than usual. Overall, I found benefits to the term system, but the…
Pom is the Bomb!
Fall break is in full swing and it is just as relaxing as I’d planned and exciting as I’d hoped. Pretty much everything I’ve done this week has all centered around one beautiful, magical, fantastic place- my dorm, Pomeroy Hall! I’m not sure if this is something I’ve mentioned at all in my blog, but I happen to be…
Fall break??
Hi! I am officially finished with finals for term 1 and enjoying the week break we have before term 2. It is such a great feeling to be done with finals and have a week to recharge! All of my finals went pretty well. Starting Friday night (after my last final), I’ve been able to explore the city a bit…
Done! round one
Say what you will about the term system, but one perk is that we get the incredible “Yay, I’m done!” feeling twice per semester, not just once. I turned in my final papers on Friday and Saturday. One was a research paper, the other a reflection on how a novel we read connects to the themes we discussed in class.…
First Term, The Finals Jam
And just like that it all flew by- I’m at the end of my first term at Wellesley! It still feels a little bit too early for any sort of personal reflection- I’ll save that for the ends of semesters and of years- but I do think it’s time for a little bit of looking back, and what better…
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…
