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…

Status Update
Hi Blog Readers! We are in the throes of midterm exams here at Wellesley, and next week is the last week before spring break. Between all the studying and assignments these past weeks, I also celebrated Tibetan New Year last week with my Tibetan and Sherpa Wellesley friends, and we made some fun dishes. I want to use this blog…
Fun Events and My Free Time
Hi everyone! This week has been a little hectic, not gonna lie to you all. I feel like I blinked and the week went from Friday to Wednesday. The absolute highlight of the week was definitely the Expo Culture Show. It was held by the Wellesley Caribbean Society this past Saturday. The show was absolutely fantastic, and it had everything—music,…
A (busy) day in the life
Hey everyone! It’s midterms season (nay!!), so my life right now revolves around studying, revising, office hours, and more studying. That’s why I decided to do a day-in-the-life this week—for you to get a feeling of what life is like around here right before the midterms start coming in. I woke up this (Wednesday) morning around 7:50 am for my…
My academic life at Wellesley vs at the University of Edinburgh

For one, one of the biggest similarities is the way my…
Realities of Being a Student

But, the reality of being a Wellesley student this month is that we are all currently swamped with work. I want to give an honest glimpse into my academics right now. My statistics class is taking up most of…

Renovations began this semester, and it was…
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…
Making Midterms Week Better
I’m not going to lie: I had to ask for the coffee machine in Pom to be refilled yesterday. It was 7:00…pm. This was the week of three midterms, and it was a daunting lineup: Evolution, Chemistry, and Economics, and a full scientific paper to top it off. Not exactly a walk in the park, or in the spirit of…
