Greetings my lovely readers! I hope y’all are feeling rejuvenated and had a chill week so far…. Mine has been kinda hectic, not gonna lie. So technically, I have actually only had 4 days of the week since we had our annual Tanner Conference that we have every year, and classes were cancelled for it. It was a really great…

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…
No scones, no Queen, but plenty of charm—your favourite British Admission intern has entered the chat.
Greetings lovely readers! Welcome to the journey that is my life as a student at Wellesley College!

Friends and Family, Hosting a Prospie and Fall is HERE
Hi to all, I had an awesome time this weekend. It was Friends and Family/Homecoming Weekend. It was also Discover Wellesley Weekend. (Pretty busy I know). Although no one from my family came to visit, I still enjoyed the benefits of Friends and Family weekend, including the food. Harambee House, the place on campus that serves Wellesley students of African…
Spring-ness
So I’m coming off of a 3 day weekend! Fuuuuun, fun, fun, fun! It was Spring Week. Events included a Wale concert (free.99 to Wellesley students, $10 off-campus), a hip hop dance performance, and (my personal favorite) the annual Ethos fashion show! The theme this year was Avant-Garde, and it was just that! The weekend was capped with Marathon Monday!…
R & R
This weekend was super fun! I enjoyed going into Cambridge and Boston. Wellesley is beautiful, but I’m really glad that there is a city nearby. Okay, so on Saturday, I was helping out at a Basketball tournament that my org, Ethos put on with the Black Student Union from Babson and the Boston Black Student Network. We’re giving the proceeds…
Quintessence Day!
Last weekend was a great one for Wellesley! Well, I’m biased. Friday was Ethos’ annual Quintessence Day. Allow me to explain. Ethos is Wellesley’s organization for students of African descent, of which I am a member. In February, we host a number of events in honor of Black History Month. Quintessence is the crown jewel of the month. An…
More mentoring/Fun!!!
This weekend I went bowling! Yaye! Some of the women in an organization I'm a member of (Ethos, for women of African descent) went bowling with the high school girls that we mentor. First we went here: My nutty friends, right in their element. There were a LOT of Christmas decorations – really, really weird mechanical ones. That sort of…
You almost didn’t get to see this. :)
You almost didn’t get to see this because on Monday through Thursday, homework is my first priority – I’m not sure I would have lasted this long (about eight weeks) if it wasn’t. You almost didn’t get to see this because I put in a little time each weeknight at the campus center. You almost didn’t get…
Groups and Mentoring
I’m going to indulge in a stereotype here – if you’re the type of girl who is seriously considering Wellesley, you’re probably involved in some extracurricular activities at your high school. I definitely was – even if I wasn’t in a club, people assumed I was a member! I intended to take it easy on the extracurricular activities…
