Hi, all! Hope everyone is having a great Friday. Today, I thought I would switch it up from Boston and head south! Recently, my friend and I took a quick weekend trip to New York City. One of the best parts of the East Coast is how close together everything is. So, after a quick four hour bus ride, we…
Boston on a Budget
Hello, hello! I’m coming to you live on a rainy Thursday morning. Just in case I haven’t made it clear at all ☺, this summer, I’m living in Boston. As many of you know, a big city can get expensive super quickly. Today, I’ll be talking about the fun things I’ve done this summer that have been either A) free…
Beantown Business
Happy Thursday! Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! I’m a bit behind on posts, so you’ll be hearing about the second part of my 4th of July next weekend (stay tuned – the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Boston Harbor Islands were definitely sights to see!). Last week, I wrote about what I’m doing at my internship…
The Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning
Welcome back! As promised, I’ll dive right in today and talk about more of my summer. As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I’m participating in the Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning. So…what exactly is this fancy schmancy program? Essentially, this program (through Wellesley Career Education) allows rising juniors like myself to engage and participate in social change by working at…
My Week is Booked: My Summer Reading
Greetings! Week two of my internship has been a lot of reading, and I think I’m slowly adjusting to the workplace. As part of my first month tasks, I have to read four books. At this point, I’m almost done with the third, and have yet to begin the fourth. The books have been carefully selected to give me important…
Summer in the City!
Hi everyone! After two weeks at home and a weekend in San Francisco, I’m back in Boston for the summer and it has been magical! My internship at the Medical Legal Partnership Boston (MLPB) started two weeks ago and so far, so good. I’ve been settling in, and completing my first reading assignments (four incredible books, which I’ll talk more…
Au Revoir, Genève
Today is my last day in Geneva. I am writing this from a cafe by the lake. One of my favorite places to get work done here. I can hardly believe that I am leaving. The semester flew by quickly. My experience in Geneva turned out to be very different than from what I was expecting but I am very…
lunch near the lake
To finish off our semester in Geneva, the undergraduate program had a little farewell lunch. We gathered with the coordinators of the program and our mentor to discuss our past semester. What we learned, what we saw and what we are taking away. We also discussed our future and plans for the summer. We ate lunch at a beautiful restaurant…
Reflections on Sophomore Year
Hello hello, Here’s to the last hellos of sophomore year. Honestly, I’ve been putting this post off for a while now. Self reflection is hard, and dedicating an entire blog post to sum up this wild year is even harder. This year has been full of ups and downs and twists and turns. But coming out of it, I’ve realized…
So Long, and Thanks for Everything
Dear All, 8 months, 23 blog posts, and about 13,000 words later, my career as a Wellesley admissions blogger is finally coming to a close. It’s been quite a ride! From sharing my love of Lake Waban to chronicling the strange odyssey that was the weird mermaid psych class, we’ve gone some places. I hope you’ll forgive me if I…
