To be honest, I have been procrastinating on this post for a long while now. I couldn’t really get myself to write a farewell junior year post, given how the semester ended so abruptly and whatnot. Special thanks to Sophia for nudging me to post this!
Anyway, I thought it would be best to reflect on what a whirlwind year this was. From studying abroad in the fall to leaving early this Spring, junior year was a memorable year. Thus, I present to you brief moments of my spring semester at Wellesley (in photos).
When Katie and I went to the AMC movie theatre in Framingham, loaded up on popcorn and candy, to watch Little Women. Late January 2020.
An uncharacteristically warm and sunny day. Walking from lunch in Bates to the Academic Quad for my afternoon seminar. February 2020.
The celebration at the end of a Lake Run. Freezing cold, but worth it. This was taken after endorphins kicked in. February 2020.
Studying for a biopsychology exam with Talia, early on a Sunday evening. At the empty Data Lounge in the Science Center. February 2020.
A gigantic human knot. Lots of laughter & smiles, and just wonderfully chaotic. Basement of Chapel, Multifaith Center. March 2020.
At the Yayoi Kusama special exhibit (“Love is Calling”) at the Institute Constitute of Art (ICA) Boston! March 2020.
Two days before I packed up my room and left. A cozy Tuesday morning. March 2020.
The evening before I left Wellesley. Walking near the lake. In the distance, an acapella group could be heard singing their hearts out, while hugging their seniors tightly. March 2020.
Spotted in the halls of the English department. A wall where people scrawled lines from their favorite poems. Later, I found out this one is called “Description” by Mary Ruefle. March 2020.
And that’s a wrap. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves during this time.
See you soon, but not soon enough,
Shreya
