Hello Blog, I cannot lie, it has been a treacherous last few days in Massachusetts. If you are looking for an authentic New England winter experience, Wellesley during these few weeks in February is definitely the place to be. We’ve had lots of snow, and then that snow becomes ice, and then the wind blows and you’re ice skating! (I…

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…
(Final) Fall Break Recap
Hello Blog, I promised sentimentality this year, so here it comes. This was my last Wellesley College Fall Break! I guess every break from now on will be my last official “Wellesley College” break. Technically, this is my last 7th week of the fall semester. Anyway, fall break was this past weekend. Turns out, New York City was the popular…
Monday Day in my Life
Happy end of the school week! I love watching people’s day in my life videos on YouTube, so I decided to do the same here in this blog post. Today, I will go through what an average Monday—the busiest day of my week—looks like for me this semester. This semester, most of my classes are in the late afternoon. On…
Summer Catch-Up
Hi everyone! This past summer has been the first summer that I spent on campus at Wellesley doing research. Last year I did my summer internship in Bulgaria, so this was definitely a different experience. Physics, however, is one of those subjects where it’s essential to get as much experience with research as possible in college—not only to help you…

Adventures with Margaret Part 2
Welcome back! This week, I’ll be sharing more of the things I did while my mom visited. Per my last blog, we went whale watching, and had just wrapped up our Saturday morning activities. After leaving the flea market we visited, we headed towards the Boston Public Library. To get there, we took the blue and green lines. My mom…
Adventures with Margaret Part 1
Hello again! This weekend, my mom visited me. She hadn’t visited Boston since my fall semester first year, so it was nice to show her around again with more knowledge of Boston. She flew in Thursday afternoon, and we headed to the commuter rail station to go to Cambridge for dinner. We took a quick bus connection and arrived at…
Meeting Celebs and Exploring the North End!
This weekend I had a very special surprise visitor! My friend Elly came to visit me all the way from Ithaca for 24 hours only. She arrived bright and early at 10 am on Saturday, and we went to the Wellesley Bakery for breakfast before venturing to Boston. We took the green line to the Government Center (it was my…
