(I’m going to confess to you, I didn’t know which words to capitalize in the title. Hopefully, I did it right.) This week, I am going to show you bits of my room. I didn’t clean up when taking these photos, so this is my room in all of its glory. I like the way my room feels, I am…

Getting back into it
I often get a question from folks who don’t go to Wellesley about my activities. “What do you do for fun?” etc. Well, I will give you a brief answer to this question. One that I could elaborate on in later posts. I love the arts; music, poetry, paintings, photography, film, fashion, whatever it is, I love it. Boston has…
Final Week of Classes
It’s the final week of classes for the Spring 2017 semester. I am about to officially finish my second semester of college and conclude my first year of college. It is an exciting time but I still cannot believe I am going to be a sophomore in college! Since my last blog post, I have been laying low not doing much.…
Class Trip 2.0
This past Saturday, my peace and justice class took a trip to a community organization in Boston called DSNI. The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI) is an organization that we had been studying in our class. The organization serves to advocate for the people of the Dudley Street neighborhood in Boston. The people in that community are mostly immigrants, people…
Snow Day!!
Last week I had my first snow day in college. Wellesley rarely has snow days so this one was special. People were dancing and singing in the hallways on the day of the announcement. (I was too.) Wellesley looks like a Winter Wonderland right now. The trees are being weighed down with snow so they look like canopies in the…
Adulting Adventures
It’s the day after Christmas, and I just got back from the dentist. My life since returning home from Wellesley seems to be full of an awful lot of “adult” moments these days. I’ve only been home four days, but I’ve already been to the doctor, dentist, gotten my cracked phone fixed, learned first hand about credit history, and gotten…
Hellos, and semester’s close
First off, a warm Wellesley Welcome to all our new sibs of the class of 2021 (!!!!!) who just found out their Early Decision results! We’re so excited to meet you, and we’re looking forward to all the energy and passion the new Green class will be bringing to campus. Take some time to celebrate this achievement and enjoy the…
Flappers, Tanners, and Acceptances, oh my!
Happy Halloween! With it being a Monday, and most of the festivities happening over the weekend, it already feels like Halloween has passed, so much so that I wondered why someone wearing a creepy skull mask and flowing black robes waved to me on my way to class this morning. And then I remembered, oh, it’s still Halloween, which was…
Catching up! And summer soul searching
My, oh, my a lot has happened since my last post! I’m going to get right into catching you all up with all my major soul searching that’s happened over the summer. But before I dive in, I just want to extend a welcome to anyone newly following my blog this year. I’m Eleanor; it’s nice to have you here,…
Unexpected winter beauty
We got snow! The first snow of the year on campus always has magical feel about it, even for someone like me, intimidated enough by last year’s 100 inches to be quite content with unseasonal warmth. Still, walking to breakfast this morning, dodging snowplows while listening to Tchaikovsky’s “Winter Reveries” Symphony, I couldn’t help but smile at the beauty that…
