Greetings, my lovely readers! I hope y’all are doing well and having a great week 😄. This week for me has definitely been interesting to say the least…. I am really glad that most of my tasks for the week have been done, so my weekend should be quite chill (fingers crossed…with me something is always happening lmao). So for…

Big News!

by Wellesley Admission on April 14, 2025 in Jade's Blog

Hello Blog, A lot has happened this past week. First, I turned in my thesis!! It is 123 pages long and finished! My actual oral exam/thesis defense is in a couple weeks to decide if I get honors in my major, but the thesis is officially turned in (early!). After the defense we also have time to make minor edits,…

A Day In My Life!

by Wellesley Admission on February 13, 2025 in Jade's Blog

Hello Blog, This week, we’ll be doing a classic: a day in my life as a Wellesley student (senior spring edition!). As a minor disclaimer, I have chosen a particularly busy day, so just remember all days are different and most are not nearly as packed as this one. Something I’m really trying to prioritize this semester is fun with…

A Musical Start to the Semester!

by Wellesley Admission on February 7, 2025 in Jade's Blog

Hello Blog, Let’s do the final run down of classes I’m taking for my last semester! CHEM 341: Inorganic chemistry – my final chemistry class at Wellesley! At this point, I’ve exhausted most of the chemistry classes in the department, and this is supposed to be a really fun chemistry course to end on. So far, I’m really enjoying it!…

Hello Blog, And just like that, another fall semester in the books! Fall at Wellesley is always one of my favorite times. You truly cannot beat the fall foliage in New England, and it obviously doesn’t hurt that Wellesley’s campus is beautiful. We even got our first snow of the season, though it didn’t stick for too long. Honestly, as…

A Day in My Life

by Wellesley Admission on October 6, 2023 in Jade's Blog

Hello Blog, Happy T-minus 2 days to Fall Break! I received an email from a prospective student last week asking about what a typical day in my life looks like, so I thought I’d make a whole blog post about it (with some additional details, of course). Things have been pretty busy, so strap in! I usually wake up about…

Reintroductions!

by Wellesley Admission on September 21, 2023 in Jade's Blog

Hello Blog! Welcome to my return to blogging! I assume most of you are new readers, so it seems only appropriate to reintroduce myself. My name is Jade, I’m a current junior at Wellesley (go green class!), and I’m originally from Massachusetts – only 30 minutes away from Wellesley. I’m a big fan of all the trees we have in…

Standout moments from a (not so) typical week

by Eleanor on October 23, 2015 in Classes, Eleanor's Blog Archive, Labs, Music, Science, Wellesley College, Wellesley College

I don’t have any grand international adventures for you this week. Well into the semester, everything feels familiar, like it couldn’t be any other way. I figured I would just describe a typical week in the life of a Wellesley student for you, but then I realized that my “typical” week actually involved synthesizing my own nylon, watching a silent…
