Hi all, Happy first week of October! Holy moly did September just fly by so quickly. The fall at Wellesley is one of the most beautiful times to see campus. The leaves start to turn to a pumpkin orange, and the campus feels like a fall wonderland. I am envious of everyone being able to experience it this semester! While…

#First_Time_Biking
I hope you all are doing well, especially as the start of the school year approaches. If you remember my third blog post, I talked about my goals. A random goal I’ve had for a while, and one that is completely unrelated to academics, is to learn how to ride a bike. Because I’ve always had a fear of falling,…
10 things that make Wellesley, Wellesley
Ice cream endowment. Like… you can get ice cream every day (!!!!!). We’re the only school in the US that has had only female presidents 😉 +60% of faculty are WOMEN. WE LOVE TO SEE REPRESENTATION. Drag shows organized by students. Yes. FREE CONCERT on every LDOC (Last Day of Classes). We’ve had Muna, Charlie XCX, Dua Lipa, among others.…
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…
Fall Break in Dakar
Last week I had my Fall break. I know that Wellesley students had their own a few weeks ago. Fall break marks a little over the halfway point of my time in Dakar. I have a little over six weeks left here and I do not want to leave yet. I am going to take the next few weeks to…
Paris (again!)
The one advice I would tell students at Wellesley and the incoming class of 2022 (!!!!welcome!!!), is to take the classes that you like and are most interested in. That’s what happened when I chose to take a class called Black Paris. Black Paris is class in the French department that focuses on postcolonial theory and particularly relating to Africans…
Spring Break Sunshine
Hello from sunny Miami! It’s spring break, and yours truly is finally having a much-needed reunion with warm weather and a few days of relaxation. I’m writing to you on the tail end of my vacation: I’m spending five days in Florida forgetting about my many responsibilities… and five days in the thesis lab back in Boston, trying to get…
Twenty Two
I turned twenty two last Thursday. At first, I woke up and looked out the window and felt a little older. And then I immediately remembered that I had left my Western blots in the wrong buffer last night leaving the lab, and hoped they were okay (they were). Maybe that’s what being twenty two is. A combination of feeling…
The Progression of My Day (and sea urchins)
9:50am. Developmental Biology. Today’s lecture is on how cells differentiate into different tissue types. How do cells become neurons, or muscle, or blood? The concluding message is that potency, what a cell can become, is greater than fate, what a cell will become. I find this very poetic, and moving for some reason, and it is so beautiful it makes…
