Hello hello, I’m writing to you on a Friday morning, the last Friday before Wellesley officially starts the school year! I have about a week before I leave for my study abroad program in England, but still wanted to give a quick update on where I’m at. It’s been strange to see all my friends arriving back on campus! String…
A Letter to a Future Intern: What I’ve Learned This Summer
Hi future intern! Hope you’re doing well. If you’re nervous to start your internship, don’t be.

Shreya’s Summer Updates
Hello, hello! The Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning has been going swimmingly so far!

A Whirlwind Weekend in NYC
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.

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…
