Hello Blog, Long time no talk! We’re officially in the home-stretch of the fall semester. These are the last couple full weeks of classes and then comes reading period and finals. It tends to be a very busy time of the semester because classes are wrapping up and finals prep is beginning. But before we get into that, let me…

Study Tips from a Wellesley Student
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break! I had a great time flying back home and seeing my family, friends, and pet cat. I missed him a lot. Now that we’re back on campus, there are only a few weeks left in the semester. This means back-to-back tests in these next couple weeks for me, which has honestly been…
Finals Season: Words of Advice
Hi all, The time has come! All things final exams, papers and projects are upon us in this last three week stretch of the semester. To say I am not feeling the stress would be a total understatement. I am very much feeling it and have been for probably a week now. For this post it seemed fitting to talk…
Finals Season
It feels like it was just a few weeks ago that I was finishing up midterms because, well, it was. But now the semester has just a month left (ack!) and I have to turn my attention to final projects. Plus side of this semester? No finals, meaning a far less stressful final week. Downside? Five final projects instead, which…
End of the Fall Semester 2.0
We had our last day of classes recently and officially closed this Fall semester 2017. I am currently in the process of studying for finals so this post won’t be too long. However, I wanted to say a few things. First, I am grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and things I learned. Second, I am hopeful for next…
Silver Linings
Somehow, it’s December already. On one hand, I’m excited, because it’s now socially acceptable to listen to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” On the other hand, all I want for Christmas is to make it through two fifteen page papers and an inorganic chemistry final intact, so I can go home and lie on the floor…
The Final Finals, and what’s next
It’s towards the latter days of finals period, and campus has already started to empty out for the holidays. Watching my friends leave is always difficult, made worse by the fact that as I’m going abroad, I won’t see them for months. It isn’t made better by the fact that while they’re snapchatting reunions with their dogs, I’m mostly stuck…
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…
The Calm Before the (Finals) Storm
Hello again dear readers! I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving holiday and are easing yourselves gently back into work this Monday. For Thanksgiving, I took my beloved Northeast Regional train back home. There was a particularly beautiful sunset along the New England coast that afternoon, made even more poignant by the fact that I was listening to…
Finishing finals and fun to come
Remember how I said I would be done with finals the next time I wrote to you? Well, this post may be coming to you a little later than usual, but I did keep my promise! I just handed in my last exam all of ten minutes ago. Dobby is a free elf! It’s definitely hard to muster up the…
