The birds are chirping, the grass is green, and the sun is rising on my first fall at Wellesley College! It feels both like I’ve been here forever and I just got here yesterday. As you might remember from my first post, I arrived at Wellesley very undecided on what I wanted to major in. This hasn’t changed a…
Three Lessons…
Hi! Today I wanted to dedicate my post to discussing my personal growth in college. After 2 years in college, I think I’ve learned so much about the world, other people, and myself. I think it’s so important to reflect on my life over a period and consider what I value. Here are a few of the ways my perspective…
What Being a Virtual Student (at Wellesley!) is Really Like
Hello hello! Welcome back to another post. We have two weeks left of term 1, so final exams and papers are imminent. Before jumping in to my post today, I wanted to share some fall@Wellesley photos Katie sent me the other day. I can almost feel the crisp air and hear the crunch of leaves on the ground. Over here…
Saying yes
I love getting a good night’s sleep. Ever since I went off to boarding school, I’ve noticed that I prioritize sleep more than many of my peers do. I’m no stranger to falling asleep in class (especially last fall, when I had three classes in a row starting at 8:30 and I had been up since 4:30 a.m. for crew),…
Oh The Places We Go
Before anyone says anything, I promise I really was planning to post my “Why Wellesley?” story this week! I was getting all ready to sit down and write about it this morning, when I started thinking about how important visiting campus was for me when I was choosing a college. How can I expect you to know what it’s really…
Birthdays & Reflections
Another week has gone by and it feels like time is going by fast! I arrived in New York last Saturday and it’s been so nice to spend more time with my sister and explore the city with her while still being able to do my courses. This weekend is my sister’s birthday so we celebrated as much as we…
Learning to scull
On my bike ride yesterday, as I coasted past green fields and golden-orange leaves, I thought, wow, early September, the leaves are changing! Then I remembered that it’s going to be October on Thursday. Changing leaves and changing weather remind me that, contrary to how I’ve felt for the past six months, time is passing. I learned to scull this…
Civic Engagement and The Lovely Group on Campus Known as Ministrare Council
Happy Fall everyone! Fall is my favorite time of year, in general and at Wellesley. Some of my friends on campus have been sending me pictures of Wellesley recently, and it’s evident that the leaves are starting to change and the weather is becoming cooler. In San Diego, it’s still very warm – I think it’s going to be in…
Life On Top of the World
To quote Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I find this to be especially true of life at Wellesley. I had always heard that at Wellesley College time moves at a different rate than normal time, but I don’t think I really understood what that…
My Term 1 Courses: A Full Plate
Hello hello! Not going to lie, I had to look at my Google Calendar to remember what happened this past week. It was a busy one (when is it not?), complete with the first exam of my senior year, an interview, and plenty of meetings. It’s the beginning of week 4 now, so I wanted to share a little about…
