Happy November everyone! Oh my goodness. I’m feeling so much better, and I have a few updates to share from this week! After 14,000 words, seven papers, and quite a lot of philosophical musings, my Philosophy of Mind supervision (or “supo” as Cambridge kids would say) ended on Wednesday. It felt bittersweet to end my paper, but I still have…
Autumn Wonderland
Is Autumn Wonderland a thing? Wellesley has exploded in colors this Fall and wonderland seems to be the only proper way to describe it. I was away for last Fall in Senegal so I forgot how beautiful Autumn is. Since Wellesley is essentially a forest with buildings in it, there is tons of beauty to admire. It’s been raining this…
The One With Going Home
Hi! Today I wanted to talk a bit about… going home. As someone who is very close to my family and very much loves NYC, I knew leaving home to go to college would be very hard for me. However, I really wanted to try something different for these four years of my life, and venture out. Luckily, I haven’t…
Singing Through Midterm Season
I had my first (and only) midterm this week, an in-class essay and some short answer questions in my peace and justice studies class. To clarify, since “midterm” at Wellesley can refer to any test/problem set/essay between the start of classes and finals, it was an actual midterm. The syllabus said “midterm.” The professor said “midterm.” That was this past…
Memorable Cambridge Moments
Hi everyone, Things have been progressing steadily over here across the pond. I’m almost over my sickness (just a little left), and I’m hoping to feel back to normal within the next few days. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve decided to join the Pembroke College Boat Club (aka rowing!) at Cambridge. During the past few weeks, I’ve been in the…
Family weekend !
Although I was just home, my mother and grandmother decided to pop over to Wellesley for family and friends weekend. The weekend is filled with events for parents and friends who come to visit their Wellesley student. It was a way for me to show my family the places I talk about so much when I am at home. I…
The One With Volunteering through Civic Engagement
Hi everyone! This week I thought I would talk about a really cool volunteering opportunity I’ve had through Civic Engagement here at Wellesley. For those that are unfamiliar with it, Civic Engagement is a program that is housed in Wellesley Career Education, and focuses on engaging students with service related opportunities and social justice work. I find it amazing that…
A Day Trip to Bath, UK
Hello hello! October is going by so fast! Back at Wellesley, I’ve heard that the leaves are changing and fall is in full swing. The same can be said over here in England! The trees are (slowly but surely) changing, and the weather has become noticeably chillier. This past week I was hit with the “fresher’s flu”, aka a bad…
First race!
I rowed for three seasons in high school. It was hard, and I often felt like I wasn’t getting any better, but on the good days it was tons of fun. Gliding down the Nashua River made for some magical spring afternoons, especially when the leaves grew back on all the trees and folks from town walked their dogs on…
The One With Fall Break and Friends
Hi! I’m back! As I write this, we are wrapping up a much needed and well deserved Fall Break! I spent this break going back home to NYC to catch up with family and friends and just rejuvenate after stressful midterms. NYC is not too far away from Boston so I’m actually able to go back home relatively often, and…
