Hi everyone! It’s officially (almost) Winter Break!!! I have been counting the days to it ever since we came back from Thanksgiving. I’m flying out on Tuesday, so there’s definitely some time (and assignments to do) before I’m home, but now it all feels much more manageable. I have already packed up most of my stuff for home; I’m just…

Good food, interesting science
I feel like something most college students across the country would agree on is that good food in college tastes even better when it’s also free. There’s just nothing like being offered free food at events. This past week, my friends, most of whom are from similar-ish cultural backgrounds as me, and I had an event through Wellesley’s Orthodox Christian…
Studying, singing, and fire alarms
Hi everyone! Somehow we are already four weeks into the semester, and yet I feel like I just came back to Wellesley yesterday.

Hi everyone! Guess who is back in Wellesley? It’s really amazing being here. It’s great seeing all of my friends, my favorite professors, even the geese again! What was not so great though was the weather this week—it was freezing cold the whole first week of classes. It’s starting to get better now, but it’s still rather cold, and there’s…
Summer Catch-Up
Hi everyone! This past summer has been the first summer that I spent on campus at Wellesley doing research. Last year I did my summer internship in Bulgaria, so this was definitely a different experience. Physics, however, is one of those subjects where it’s essential to get as much experience with research as possible in college—not only to help you…
Declaring a Physics Major!
Hello everyone! I’m really excited this week because I finally declared my major! I absolutely didn’t come to Wellesley thinking that I would be a physics major, but here we are. Usually, the deadline to declare a major at Wellesley is in March of your sophomore year. Because I want to study abroad though, I had to declare my major…
