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…
Setting Goals and Finding Clarity
Happy February! It’s week two and things are already getting busy here at Wellesley. Problem sets are starting, readings are piling up, and exams are already (!) around the corner. In light of that, I decided to attend an event put on by Career Education called “Quitting to Commit”. Sometimes I’m guilty of overcommitting and stretching myself too thin. At…
last semester!
And now begins my last semester at Wellesley. It has been a wild ride and I’m excited to see how my last semester goes. This post is going to focus on the courses I am taking. The first one is Between Nature and Culture: Francophone Caribbean Literature and the Environment. This course is cross listed in the French and Environmental…
Go to Office Hours
Way back during orientation, every other presenter told us to go to office hours in the beginning of the semester to meet our professors. Assuming everyone else was doing the same, I took their advice. I chatted about songwriting with my ES professor and asked another instructor about her other classes. I went to office hours when I had questions…
Hello 2020!
Hello everyone! Happy 2020! I hope everyone’s year (and semester) has been off to a good start. I am back at Wellesley for the spring after spending fall abroad in England. As per tradition, for the first post of the semester, I wanted to share with you all the courses I’ll be taking this semester, and what I’m looking forward…
Ready to Keep Rolling
I am back at Wellesley! This break was long, but it went by fast, and now that I’m reuniting with friends it feels like I never left. I could easily respond to “What did you do over break?” with “Nothing,” but that’s not exactly true. I applied to a bunch of summer internships, followed the crew training plan, listened to…
