Fall Break in New York 🍁

Hi Blog Readers! This past weekend was fall break. Fall break at Wellesley is a long weekend every year in mid-October where we do not have classes on the Monday (Indigenous Peoples’ Day) and Tuesday. Combined with the weekend, that is four days off. Wellesley students like to use fall break to travel, rest, and catch up on schoolwork. During…

Consistency is key…

Hello beautiful people,  I can hear my mother laughing “Free-paper bun,” a Jamaican saying that refers to the end of holidays and a return to school.

Friends and food—the perfect combo!

Hello beautiful people,  Culture is important, and my friend, Sophie, chose to share a part of hers with me through food! Last week, we went to Hungry Pot for Korean hot pot, just a 12 minute ride from Wellesley! I highly recommend this restaurant; it felt like an immersive Korean cultural culinary experience, as we essentially cooked our own food!…

NEW YORK CITY

Hello wonderful readers! I have such a fun trip to tell you all about. I went to New York with Julia to visit our close friend Cecilia. On Friday of last week, Julia drove me from Wellesley, MA to Bronxville, NY. She gave me a tour of her hometown and fed me lunch. We then took the train into Grand…
