Hello hello! Hope everyone had a good week! Current status: It’s almost the weekend, it’s sunny (but cold), and it’s the last week of February. We just wrapped up week 5 of the semester, so I thought it would be fitting to write about what my schedule is like on a typical Friday. Fridays are my chill days, because I…
Three Extra Hours
My writing professor cancelled our double period class on Tuesday afternoon. I was tempted to use the time to get ahead on work, but my roommate urged me to do something fun. After all, the whole afternoon had opened up. Two hours and forty minutes that would’ve gone to class were now mine to use freely. After lunch, I stopped by…
The One with Galentines Day Fun
Last weekend was Valentine’s Day! This post is rather untimely BUT it was a super cute day so I wanted to write about it here. No one in my friend group really had plans for Valentine’s Day on Friday so we decided super last minute on Thursday night to do an impromptu Galentine’s Day at Acorns. Acorns is a community…
A Term of Trying [New Things]
Happy Friday, everyone! Recently, I’ve been watching the Refinery29 series, Try Living with Lucie. In the series, the host, Lucie, tries new social experiments every week, 5 days at a time. Some previous examples have included: 5 days with no cell phone, 5 days of veganism, 5 days of exercise, and 5 days of waking up at 5am. I’ve been…
walking around the lake
It’s been a quiet week so this will be a shorter post. The most exciting thing I did this week was walk around the lake. Many Wellesley students will tell you that one of their favorite things about Wellesley is the Waban. The lake is one of my favorite things as well. When I was studying abroad, I always ended…
The One with the New Semester
Hi! Hello! It’s been a while and I’m glad to be back on campus after a long and restful winter break. Wellesley has this ~ one month time period between fall semester and spring semester, called wintersession, where students can do one or more of the following: choose to take classes at Wellesley, do a language wintersession study abroad, work…
Putting Fun First
The more time I have to get ready in the morning, the longer I will take. It’s the same thing with schoolwork: I always finish what I need to get done by the end of the weekend, regardless of what else I do. Having less time makes me more productive. Fun things must go on my calendar, otherwise I’ll tell…
class trips are still fun in college
This past week has been a pretty mellow week. This semester being my last semester, I wanted to make sure I built in as much time for myself as possible. I chose my classes in a way that gave me Thursday and Friday off. Since the semester’s workload hasn’t really picked up yet, I spend most of my days off…
Weekly Highlights
Hello hello! We’re on week three, and I had my first (!) exam of this semester yesterday. How, I’m not sure, but regardless, this week just flew by. We’re already halfway through this month. Some highlights from the past week: I recently acquired two new plants for my room! Ever since coming back from abroad, I’ve been procrastinating decorating my…
“What are you taking this semester?”
“What are you taking this semester?” This question is up there with “How was your break?” in terms of how many times I’ve answered it in the past couple weeks. But I can never remember my fourth class. It doesn’t matter what order I list my courses in; the fourth one only comes after a bit of “uh… um… oh…
