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,…

Happy Ruhlman Week
Hello everyone! It’s time for the Ruhlman Conference, one of the two yearly conferences at Wellesley where students get to present their research, academic experiences at and outside of Wellesley, and much more! The whole day is really exciting—classes are canceled, there are numerous presentations by students ranging from a few minutes to an hour, a poster session, and much…
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

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…
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…
Goodbye for now!

Shout out to all the wonderful people I met as an ASI, you truly made my experience so much better and special!!!! This blog will mostly…
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…
