I’ve been back on campus for three weeks now and to be honest, I was going a little stir crazy for a minute there. Last weekend I took the Amtrak back to New York to go to a Niall Horan concert, and since then I have been struggling to recreate that adrenaline rush (because what could possibly be better than…

Hello Blog!
Hi blog, welcome to my page! I’ll be regularly posting weekly recaps for the next few months as I work in the Wellesley Admissions Office this summer.

Spring Break!!!
Hi everyone! I’m writing this on a Saturday night at the end of my spring break on campus. I wasn’t planning on getting anything done before tomorrow (yes, I plan not doing things, it’s very necessary sometimes), but I got a burst of energy and decided to check off some stuff off of my to-do list. So, let me tell…
Celebrating Traditions at College
Last weekend was Tibetan New Year, my second one away from home. Today, I want to talk about how I’ve celebrated this tradition at college and what celebrating traditions away from home is like at Wellesley.

New Semester, New Me

I had a hectic but enjoyable winter break. I headed back home and went on an overnight…

Restful Fall Break 🍁
Last week was fall break at Wellesley! If you don’t know what fall break is, it’s a long weekend every October at Wellesley where we have no classes on Monday and Tuesday in addition to the regular weekend. Students use it as an opportunity to rest, catch up on schoolwork, explore Boston, go to New York City or elsewhere along…
My Fall Traditions :)
Hello Blog! Yesterday was one of my favorite traditions at Wellesley – Lake Day! On one day in the fall semester, while the weather is still pretty warm, the college president will send out a surprise email saying that it is simply too beautiful outside and all classes are canceled. The Schneider Board of Governors (SBOG), our student-run campus-wise activities…
