Hello everyone! It’s time for the Ruhlman Conference, one of the two yearly conferences at Wellesley where students get to present their research, academic experiences at and outside of Wellesley, and much more! The whole day is really exciting—classes are canceled, there are numerous presentations by students ranging from a few minutes to an hour, a poster session, and much…

Last few days before Spring Break
Helloooo everyone! It’s finally the last week before Spring Break. Life is very busy, but to be honest, I am also not feeling too stressed out. I had a really great weekend, which I think helped me stock up on some good energy to keep me motivated for the last few class days. First, on Friday we had our bimonthly…
The Science Center + Drag Race = Fun
Hi everyone! Things are settling into their normal rhythm here in Wellesley—homework never ends, deadlines are creeping behind every corner, and you need to pull out your google calendar to figure out if you can hang out with your friends during the day. There is something very soothing in that whole routine though that I missed when I was abroad,…
Rhode Islander for a Weekend
Happy Friday! Today, I will recap my past fall break in Rhode Island. Fall break is a long weekend here every October, with no classes on Monday for Indigenous Peoples’ Day and no classes the following day. This fall break, I visited one of my childhood best friends at her school, the University of Rhode Island (URI). Saturday morning, I…
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…
When I’m back in Chicago, I feel it…
Happy almost April! I’m back at Wellesley after our spring break. I did not go to glamorous Miami or Cancun, but instead headed back home to Chicago; it’s basically the same thing as Miami or Cancun. Back at home, I first did a lot of shopping at malls and downtown Chicago with my family. I am doing a Wellesley-funded internship…
Summer life at Wellesley :)
During the summer, I’m working for the admission office as an Admission Summer Intern (ASI), which is really fun 🙂 I love the people at the office! My supervisors, my fellow ASIs, and I went candlepin bowling once, which is like normal bowling but with smaller balls and pins, (it’s, apparently, a New England thing). But what I especially LOVE…
#intropost
Hello to whoever is reading this! My guess is you’re a student interested in applying to Wellesley College…in which case I am so excited that you are here reading my little post! My name is Yewon, and I immigrated to Hawaii from South Korea just before I turned five. I grew up in that warm, tropical place for pretty much…
Alpaca Adventuring
I don’t know what it was that possessed me to call up the Harvard Alpaca Ranch on the phone. It’s one of the odder conversations I’ve had recently, asking a stranger if I could come pet their alpacas. It turns out that alpacas are rather wary animals, not too keen on being petted but VERY keen on eating any and…
Oh! Nostalgia
One of the many things I do here at Wellesley is serve on an e-board. An e-board (executive board) are the elected representatives of an organization. I am the historian for WCD (Wellesley for Caribbean Development). As the historian, my job is to dig up as much from WCD’s past as possible in order to create a detailed history report.…
