Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a fun and safe day. Today, I want to reflect on something not-so-spooky: building independence in college. Like many, coming to Wellesley is my first time fully living away from home. I live in Illinois, so I am a couple states away from my family. Up until Wellesley, I had only been away from…

I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend! Every year I say this, but I cannot believe it’s already November. It has felt like nonstop exams this past month, and I can’t wait to go home for Thanksgiving break in a couple weeks. Today, I want to write about something I have noticed in my past year at Wellesley: how…
Flappers, Tanners, and Acceptances, oh my!
Happy Halloween! With it being a Monday, and most of the festivities happening over the weekend, it already feels like Halloween has passed, so much so that I wondered why someone wearing a creepy skull mask and flowing black robes waved to me on my way to class this morning.

Halloween = Success
I had one of the best Halloweens I've had in a really long time this year. In high school, it was pretty fun to dress up at school and take funny pictures, maybe do some trick or treating. This year was fun because I hung out with awesome people and just had a fun, low key night. First thing's first:…
