Happy February! This has been a long week because I had two problem sets due, so I am glad that the week is now winding down. Today, I am going to be sharing the courses I am taking this semester and what jobs/activities I am involved with. This semester, I am taking four courses: firstly is an intermediate macroeconomics course.…

Things I miss about Wellesley
Hey everyone! I can’t actually believe that it’s already December, time really does fly by. I am officially done with classes (yay!), and my exams start next week (nay!). I have loved my experience here so much, but I feel ready to go home and then back to Wellesley soon. Speaking of that, today I decided to tell you some…
Homework in College
Hi everyone! I will be honest—this is a really long and busy week for a lot of students at Wellesley, including myself. With spring break right around the corner and the midterms nearing, I’m prepared for a busier schedule in the next couple of days. In the spirit of that, I thought I would share with you what my typical…
Cross Registration
I want to dedicate this week’s post to talking about cross registration! This semester, I am taking an economic history class at MIT, and this is my first time cross registering. First of all, the facts: Wellesley students can take one class per semester at MIT, Babson College, Olin College of Engineering, or Brandeis University. First-year, first-semester students cannot cross…
Winter Break and First Two Weeks Back on Campus
Hi everyone! Winter break ended two weeks ago, and I’m officially back in academic mode. I absolutely loved winter break. I went back home to Bulgaria, and I slept a lot. With the stress around finals season last semester, I didn’t sleep a lot, so I was really excited to sleep during the break. I saw a lot of my…
Extra Busy Day in the Life
Today, I’m going to share what a very busy school day looks like in my life! I remember obsessively watching “Day in the life as a (insert college name) student” videos when I was applying to colleges, so I hope this can also be useful to readers. Tuesdays end up as my busiest school day. I have two back-to-back classes…
I am a graduate student
Well no, not really. However, I am studying at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, a university specifically dedicated to handing out advanced degrees in subjects related to International Affairs. That means I am taking classes at the Institute with other Masters and even Ph.D. students. This can be and has been a little intimidating but…
Course Selection Time
It’s hard to believe that the semester is half over! I feel like I only just started. But midterms are over, professors are talking about final projects, and Thanksgiving Break is approaching rapidly. Most excitingly, course selection time is coming up! With most of my major, minor, and distribution requirements taken care of, I have a lot of freedom in…
rain, rain, go away
What a rainy April! It has been raining every day for almost a week now. While it’s a sign that Spring is here (!), I am starting to not like this rain. Marathon Monday was this past Monday. This is the day when the Boston Marathon is held. Part of the marathon runs past Wellesley so tons of Wellesley students get…
The Light at the End of the (Biosynthesis Pathway)
Good morning, everyone. A lot has happened since I last wrote. Somehow, we have reached the point where my thesis deadline is in NINE DAYS. It is an honest to god thrill to think that the end is in sight! I still have a lot of writing to do, but I think I have passed the hardest part. It’s like…
