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…
Midterms Season 😦 (don’t panic!)
Hi Blog, I will not lie, I have been a bit stressed recently. It’s officially midterms season at Wellesley, so the work is really picking up. I have 3 big things coming up this week: my first CHEM 330 (physical chemistry) exam, my first REL 106 (queer bible) paper, and a solo cello performance at friends and family weekend for…
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.…
Statistics, Supermoon
Well, this blog tonight is coming to you from a brain that has been doing statistics nearly the entire day. That means a tired brain, a brain that feels like mush, a brain that feels more like a t-distribution than a normal one. Statistics jokes. I have an Econ Stats midterm tomorrow, in case you couldn’t tell. I went in…
Jam sessions, symphonies and getting things together
Good morning to all of you! At least its still morning as I write here, one of those rare mornings where it seems New England has rediscovered impossibly blue skies. Walking to my blog-writing seat in admissions from Philosophy class, I witnessed a Wellesley student rescuing a fuzzy little brown and black caterpillar from an oncoming admissions tour on the…
