Dinner with geoscience researchers
Hello beautiful people, Have you ever heard of the saying, “only make friends outside of your major?” Maybe you were like me, and didn’t know such advice existed until you set foot on a college campus. But, trust me, there’s some real magic in branching out. If you’re curious about how to expand your social circle, join us Wednesday…
College Glow-up Guide: What changed since I moved to Wellesley
Hello beautiful people, Here are a few ways Wellesley helped me to level up mentally, emotionally and spiritually! 1 – More comfortable with speaking up in class Classes at Wellesley are discussion based, which encourages students to share their perspectives. I used to be hesitant about speaking up because I was constantly worried I would say the wrong thing or…
What Am I Up To This Semester 🤔
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.

Last Full Week of the Semester
Hello Blog, As the name implies, this is the full last week of classes for the fall semester. Thanksgiving break was really late this year, so the semester is rapidly coming to a close.

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-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…
