I’m a twin!
Hello again! Back with another blog post, and this time I thought I’d delve into some introspection after a conversation I just had with one of the counselors from the Office of Admission about our similar upbringings.

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?
