Providence Is Only Two Train Rides Away!
This weekend I traveled long and far to the great state of Rhode Island for a family reunion. I had been hoping to take a day trip to Providence, so I already had a whole itinerary planned out. I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to catch the 8am commuter rail into Boston, no caffeine needed because I…
On The Uptown
HELLO. GREETINGS. SALUTATIONS. BLOGGIES. I hope all 2 and a half of my readers had a WONDERFUL weekend. BECAUSE IIII DID. I truly think New York has some type of spiritual allure to it that I can not pull myself away from. It’s giving pirate and siren except I forgot to cover my ears. That was my 4th time in…
Adventures with Margaret Part 1
Hello again! This weekend, my mom visited me. She hadn’t visited Boston since my fall semester first year, so it was nice to show her around again with more knowledge of Boston. She flew in Thursday afternoon, and we headed to the commuter rail station to go to Cambridge for dinner. We took a quick bus connection and arrived at…
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the MBTA
Welcome back to the Blog! One of my favorite things about going to college near Boston is the public transportation. I come from an area in the South where there are very few trains and no subways, so I’m grateful for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). These last few weeks I’ve been exploring Boston a good bit, and I…
Lara Ventures into Boston!
Unlike some people I know (*cough* Avery *cough*), I don’t go into Boston too often. I have big plans to go on solo trips around Europe while I’m studying abroad, but I figure I should start small with solo trips into Boston. I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to catch the commuter rail into Boston and go…
Phenotypically Black, Spiritually Brazilian & Italian
HEY BLOGGIES. I’ve been super excited for this blog post in particular because I really didn’t expect to have done almost any of the things I participated in this past week! It seems this summer break has really aided in the fostering of my own spontaneity. Here’s the song that’s been on repeat for me this week, Chammak Challo by…
City and Country
Hello Blog! One of my favorite things about Wellesley is its location. It’s about 12 miles from Boston and it’s easy to get to either on the exchange bus from campus or the commuter rail in the town of Wellesley. Additionally, there are tons of hiking and nature trails connected to the college. First, there is the lake path which…
June Adventures!
Hey bloggies, (this is what I’ve decided I’m calling you now) welcome back to Avery’s super cool, second ever, blog post. I hope y’all had a spectacular June. I know I sure did! If I had describe this month in a song, I’d do so with this one: With that being said, now I’m gonna share some more…
Restful Fall Break 🍁
Last week was fall break at Wellesley! If you don’t know what fall break is, it’s a long weekend every October at Wellesley where we have no classes on Monday and Tuesday in addition to the regular weekend. Students use it as an opportunity to rest, catch up on schoolwork, explore Boston, go to New York City or elsewhere along…
