HEY BLOGGIES. Welcome back once again to Avery’s blog. You know the drill. The song that describes this week is: Directly after work last Thursday, I went to #myfavoriteplaceonearth, The Boston Athenaeum. I got a new book and became slightly more versed in the Library of Congress Classification System. Which was a JOURNEY to say the least as I had…
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the MBTA
Welcome back to the Blog! One of my favorite things about going to college near Boston is the public transportation. I come from an area in the South where there are very few trains and no subways, so I’m grateful for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). These last few weeks I’ve been exploring Boston a good bit, and I…
Wellesley Myths: Fact or Fiction?
Today we will take a short break from our Wellelsey lingo series and drift our focus slightly. My roommate from high school came to visit me last week, and we had a really fun time. At some point we started talking about our college experiences compared to our high school ones. Upon that wonderful conversation, I got inspired to write…
Lara Ventures into Boston!
Unlike some people I know (*cough* Avery *cough*), I don’t go into Boston too often. I have big plans to go on solo trips around Europe while I’m studying abroad, but I figure I should start small with solo trips into Boston. I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to catch the commuter rail into Boston and go…

It seems this summer break has really aided in the fostering of my own spontaneity. Here’s the song that’s been on repeat for me this week, Chammak Challo by…
That’s a fintastic idea!
This weekend, I visited the New England Aquarium in Boston. Before I went, I used my Wellesley free library card to get my ticket for half off. To get there, I took the commuter rail from Wellesley Square, which was about a ten minute bike ride from my dorm. At the aquarium, I first went to the shark and ray…
Movers and Shakers!
One of the things I really appreciate about being at Wellesley over the summer is our proximity to Boston, whenever I get bored or want to go on an adventure I know the city is only a train ride away. I’m especially grateful for this because last summer I was in a small town in the Berkshires with no car…
I was in the 617.
Hey bloggies, welcome back to my super cool Blog. I hope all of you are having a splendid week. I’ll start off today’s post with a song to describe the vibe of this week. Charismatic by Hailey Knox, my new current favorite artist! She’s been on repeat recently and this is my top song of hers so far. Beginning with…
City and Country
Hello Blog! One of my favorite things about Wellesley is its location. It’s about 12 miles from Boston and it’s easy to get to either on the exchange bus from campus or the commuter rail in the town of Wellesley. Additionally, there are tons of hiking and nature trails connected to the college. First, there is the lake path which…
