Hello Blog, Well, it has finally come. My last blog. It has been an absolute joy to write weekly updates about my life for the past 3 (!!!) years. I’m honestly quite emotional about leaving Wellesley, and there’s no way to write that up in a (somewhat) digestible blog post. This was my dream school. I cried so hard when…

Study breaks, flowers, and Eastern European music
Hi everyone! It’s been a busy busy busy week in Wellesley. It is time for the second round of midterms around here, so studying is occupying a big part of my time. I have been studying a lot with friends recently, and somehow we all end up convincing each other that we deserve a break or a sweet treat (mostly…
A Day In My Life!
Hello Blog, This week, we’ll be doing a classic: a day in my life as a Wellesley student (senior spring edition!). As a minor disclaimer, I have chosen a particularly busy day, so just remember all days are different and most are not nearly as packed as this one. Something I’m really trying to prioritize this semester is fun with…
A Musical Start to the Semester!
Hello Blog, Let’s do the final run down of classes I’m taking for my last semester! CHEM 341: Inorganic chemistry – my final chemistry class at Wellesley! At this point, I’ve exhausted most of the chemistry classes in the department, and this is supposed to be a really fun chemistry course to end on. So far, I’m really enjoying it!…
Tanner AND Halloweekend!??
Hello Blog, It’s a busy time here at Wellesley! Tuesday was the Tanner Conference, one of the two Wellesley-hosted conferences where students can present on the cool work they’re doing. Typically, people talk about their summer experiential learning experiences, so I gave a Tanner on my experience doing research at Caltech. It’s a really fun day because classes are canceled…
1 Month Down!
Hello Blog, In the words of Maisie Peters (a musical artist who just came to Boston on tour), “I wake up and it’s October.” Even though this is only my second blog, I’ve been back at Wellesley for a full month now! Let’s recap what has happened so far: Classes are back in full swing! Something a bit new this…
Phenotypically Black, Spiritually Brazilian & Italian
HEY BLOGGIES. I’ve been super excited for this blog post in particular because I really didn’t expect to have done almost any of the things I participated in this past week! It seems this summer break has really aided in the fostering of my own spontaneity. Here’s the song that’s been on repeat for me this week, Chammak Challo by…
The Moon, Music, and Marathon Preparations
Hello Blog, It’s been a very exciting past week on campus! After some seasonally confusing sleet/snow last week, the groundhog seems to have finally wrangled the weather to be much nicer. We’ve had lots of sun recently! I keep seeing videos on social media about how colleges start to “college” when the weather gets nicer, and this couldn’t be more…
Junior Recital Loading… 🎶🤭
Hello Blog, As expected, I made it through the weekend! I cannot say I had the most exciting past few days because I was taking the exams I mentioned previously, but it’s all about balance. I spent most of spring break out and about, so it makes sense that I had a weekend with a bit heavier of a workload…
Midterms Season (but not for me 🙏)
Hello Blog, The couple of weeks before spring break are usually pretty busy in college, but I’m in the strange position this year where it’s quite the opposite! The first 6 weeks of the semester went by in a blur, and now I feel like I get to chug along at a normal pace. A lot of my friends are…
