Hello everyone! Another week, another blog of updates on Wellesley life from me. The days are longer, the temperature is now back in the positives (if you are using Celcius), and the snow is melting. The only downside to that is the fact that a lot of the sidewalks are overflowing with water from the melting snow, which is…

Celebrating traditions in Wellesley
Hi everyone! March is a pretty busy month back home because a few of our bigger holidays are in the first two weeks of that month. The first of March is Baba Marta, a holiday dedicated to the ending of winter and the welcoming of spring. We usually wear red and white bracelets that our family and friends have given…
Adulting Adventures
It’s the day after Christmas, and I just got back from the dentist. My life since returning home from Wellesley seems to be full of an awful lot of “adult” moments these days. I’ve only been home four days, but I’ve already been to the doctor, dentist, gotten my cracked phone fixed, learned first hand about credit history, and gotten…
The Calm Before the (Finals) Storm
Hello again dear readers! I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving holiday and are easing yourselves gently back into work this Monday. For Thanksgiving, I took my beloved Northeast Regional train back home. There was a particularly beautiful sunset along the New England coast that afternoon, made even more poignant by the fact that I was listening to…
Fall break & flight bookings
Fall break is already coming to a close.

I’m so relaxed right now, which is part of the reason this update is coming so…
A snowy return
Hello everyone! As I’m writing this, I’m sitting in Metropark train station, checking the status of my Boston-bound warrior train bravely (but three hours slowly) making its way up the East coast mid blizzard. Oddly enough, this storm isn’t hitting Boston too hard…but New Jersey is certainly taking a hit. We almost got stuck in a snowbank twice trying to…
On coming home
Hello everyone! I hope you had a delightful and restful thanksgiving. This post is coming to you somewhat later than usual, but I have a wonderful excuse; I just got back from a long catching up session (over Panera!) with my two best friends from high school. Even if it’s only for a couple days, it’s wonderful to be home,…
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!! I definitely did, but if you would have asked me a week ago if I was looking forward to Thanksgiving, I would have said no. You see, I am one of the few who have remained on campus during Thanksgiving break. I thought I was going to be very lonely and that my…
