We are about halfway through Term One and I’m starting to feel very settled and comfortable on campus! I think a big concern for everyone (both on campus and remote) as we began the new school year was how we would all stay connected and foster community. Fostering community has looked very different this year, but nonetheless I think we’ve…
First Month Blues
If there’s one thing no one has ever called living through a pandemic, it’s easy. Coping with the pandemic during a major life change- say, moving a thousand miles away to go to college- sometimes seems almost impossible. If you ask any Wellesley first year what their college experience has been like so far, they’ll probably all come up with…
Things that are different
The food in the dining hall is not as good as it usually is. Gone are the toaster, the stacks of bread, the waffle iron, the panini press, the tubs of Hershey’s ice cream, and, most tragically, the salad bar. Everything comes in styrofoam, plastic, or cardboard containers. I’ve eaten almost every meal outside. It’s lovely, especially now, as…
Term System & Sunrises!
Hello again!! I just finished my second week of junior year, and while this year looks a bit different because of COVID-19 and remote instruction, it’s going by pretty fast. I am back home in Miami, FL, which has been nice because of the warm weather and good Hispanic food. Essentially, Wellesley decided to break this semester up into 7-week…
The One With Firsts and Flower Sunday
Welcome back everyone! It has been a LONG time since I last blogged in March, right before our time on campus was cut short and we were all sent home! It is crazy to think I’m back here on campus after nearly 7 months. A lot has changed, but yet at its core Wellesley remains very much the same. I…
Honey, I’m home!
Welcome back everyone! I wanted to quickly (re)introduce myself, in case you’re new here: My name is Shreya, and I’m a senior at Wellesley this year. Where has the time gone?! I’ve been blogging for the Wellesley College Admissions Office since my sophomore year: I’ve written weekly posts about my summer internship in Boston, experience studying abroad in Cambridge, England,…
A Very “Unprecedented” Beginning
Hello, future students of Wellesley College! My name is Andy, and I’m a first year here at Wellesley, hailing from the great state of Iowa (fellow Midwesterners, please make some noise in the comments). I currently have absolutely no idea what I want to major in, but I’m very excited to start exploring, and I’ll be sure to bring all…
Nice to meet you!
Hi!! My name is Lynsey and I’ve officially started my junior year! This is my first blog post and I am so excited to be able to share a few pockets of my Wellesley experience with you! I was born and raised in Miami, FL and I am of Cuban and Puerto Rican descent. I am currently in Miami, FL…
Fine Line by Harry Styles
“We’ll be a fine line We’ll be alright” I didn’t know that this would be my last blog post until this morning. On June 5th, I posted my first piece on here. I promised myself to always write something authentic, trying weekly to explore such incredibly important aspects of…
