As the semester draws to a close, the energy on campus feels electric. Final papers are being written, group projects are coming together, and the library has become a second home for many. For me, this week is a mix of reflection, determination, and anticipation. It’s my last fall semester, and while that realization carries a touch of nostalgia, it…
Last Full Week of the Semester
Hello Blog, As the name implies, this is the full last week of classes for the fall semester. Thanksgiving break was really late this year, so the semester is rapidly coming to a close. During Thanksgiving break I went home to spend time with my family. I am usually a huge proponent of the post-Thanksgiving meal walk, but it was…
Post-Thanksgiving Reflections: Rest, Relaxation, and Resetting for Finals
Thanksgiving break came and went, but it left me with memories to savor and energy to carry me through the whirlwind of finals season.

MTV (WC): Welcome To My Crib
Hello Blog, That’s right. It’s time for a long overdue dorm tour!!! This year I’m living in Pomeroy Hall (Pom <3) for my third year, which I think should make me an honorary “lifer” (someone who lives in the same dorm all 4 years). I got super lucky this year and am living in a block with 4 of my…
Penultimate Week of Classes
Hey everyone! Yep, you read that right, this week is my penultimate week of classes, which is still crazy to me. I feel like I arrived here only yesterday, and suddenly I can see the finish line.

My Student Orgs
Hi Blog! I know an aspect of Wellesley that I am sure many prospective students are curious about is student clubs on campus. Today, I want to describe the main student organizations, or clubs, that I am involved with on campus: WZLY WZLY is Wellesley’s student radio and also reportedly the largest student organization at Wellesley by membership. I am…
