Happy almost-end of semester! I say this every year, but genuinely this fall went by sooo fast. I flew back home last week for Thanksgiving break and had an awesome time being back with my family. My aunt also stayed with us, and I saw some of my best friends! Now, we just have a few weeks left in the…

Day in the Life
Hi everyone! I haven’t done a day in the life blog recently, so I think that it’s time for one! I’m gonna take you with me through what an average Tuesday looks like in my life. My day starts with an alarm at 7:15 am and leaving the apartment at 7:40 am to catch my 7:52 am bus. I arrive…
Senior Year Reintroductions!
Hello Blog, Welcome back to another (and final </3) year of reading my Wellesley blogs! For a quick round of reintroductions: my name is Jade, I’m officially a senior at Wellesley College (go green class!), I’m a chemistry major and a music minor, and I do a few things on campus, namely being the president of the chamber music society…
MIT Class Day
I want to continue my post from last week and explain what a day in the life looks like when I take my class at MIT! My class is once a week for three hours in the evening. I take the convenient school shuttle, called the loco, to get to MIT’s campus. On weekdays, the loco makes a stop in…
A Day in the Life!
Hi everyone! I realized I haven’t done “a day in the life” in a long time, so here’s one from my Friday during a relatively chill week. 9:18 a.m. I wake up to my alarm (I don’t like my alarms being at a time that ends at 0 or 5 for some reason) for my 9:55 a.m. physics class. My…
Sitting in a College Class

So, I thought I would share my experience with those things at Wellesley. I don’t know if it’s just me and my experience…
halfway there
My adventures in Geneva continue! This past week marked about the halfway point of my time here. I can feel the work ramping up just as the flowers are blooming. It’s getting harder to stay inside and study. So this past weekend, I took a day trip with some friends to Lyon, a city close to Geneva in France. Lyon…
To 2022, from 2018
I have been thinking a lot lately, about you, New Purple Class of 2022. As a member of what will soon be the Old Purple Class of 2018, we have more in common than just the color purple, although that is the best class color, you should know. We, you and me both, are beginning new and unfamiliar chapters of…
Classes for my Spring semester
I realized I haven’t told you about the classes I am taking this semester! Well here is a quick rundown. I am taking a French class called Black Paris: ‘Postcolonializing ‘ the Seine. It explores the life of Black immigrants to Paris through readings and watching films. We discuss writers like Franz Fanon and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. It has been a…
Spring 2018
I am officially back and so is the snow! I am ready to take on the second semester of my second year. There seems to be a lot going on at the same time as I try to readjust, classes, deciding to study abroad, and summer internships. I am also starting to realize that I am about to hit the…
