As a tour guide, I get this question quite a bit “So what do you do for fun outside of Wellesley” for which I reply: I study in various coffee shops/ libraries. I am currently curating a list of the best ones when it comes to hitting the big three (drinks, food, ambiance). I hope you are excited to learn…

Summer in Wellesley
Hi all! Back again with another blog post! I’ve been at Wellesley now for almost a month—after spring semester ended, I was able to go home to Virginia for 10 whole days (so short!!) before driving back up to start my job and internship. I love being here in the summer—the weather is beautiful, the free time (when I’m not…

What to do for fun at Wellesley
Hello Blog! Last week, I wrote about my experience living in dorms at Wellesley—a top question on the mind of prospective students—and this week I will answer another top question: what do Wellesley students do for fun in their free time? Firstly for on-campus events and fun, Wellesley departments, offices, or organizations are usually hosting something every week. This month,…

Go Red Sox?
Hello everybody! New week, same old me. Let me start this blog with even MORE daffodils photos (yes, I am a superfan). There has been so much going on on campus and around Boston recently that I feel like I have barely had a minute to relax this past weekend. On Friday there was a “Davis After Dark” event at…
Back from break
Hello everyone! Just like that, Spring Break is over. I had such a great and relaxing time that I wish we had at least a few more days of break. I stayed on campus for it, while most of my friends went home or away for a while. The first Sunday of the break was the day of the St.…
The Science Center + Drag Race = Fun
Hi everyone! Things are settling into their normal rhythm here in Wellesley—homework never ends, deadlines are creeping behind every corner, and you need to pull out your google calendar to figure out if you can hang out with your friends during the day. There is something very soothing in that whole routine though that I missed when I was abroad,…
Building Independence
Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a fun and safe day. Today, I want to reflect on something not-so-spooky: building independence in college. Like many, coming to Wellesley is my first time fully living away from home. I live in Illinois, so I am a couple states away from my family. Up until Wellesley, I had only been away from…
