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…
Welcome Back!
Hello Blog, And just like that, we’re back for another semester! We’re officially two weeks into the semester, and things are already picking up. Here’s how I’ve been filling my time thus far: It’s application season! I’ve been spending a lot of time applying to research opportunities for this summer. The past two summers I’ve been at Wellesley doing (paid!)…
Wellesley Walks
Hi Blog, Today, we ask the age-old question: what do Wellesley students do as they walk to various locations across campus? This may seem like a strange question, but with a campus as beautiful as Wellesley’s, walks are some of my daily highlights. Whether it’s an intentional long walk around the lake or 10 minutes between classes, I like to…
Let me explain my Spotify Wrapped
Hello everyone! Before I start explaining my Spotify Wrapped to you, let me say that music plays a huge part of my life on campus. Whether it is when I’m walking to class with headphones on, chilling with YouTube music on in my room, or simply studying in the library with Spotify in the background, different songs play in the…
Reintroductions!
Hello Blog! Welcome to my return to blogging! I assume most of you are new readers, so it seems only appropriate to reintroduce myself. My name is Jade, I’m a current junior at Wellesley (go green class!), and I’m originally from Massachusetts – only 30 minutes away from Wellesley. I’m a big fan of all the trees we have in…
