Hi everyone! I thought it might be a good time of the semester to do a day-in-the-life, and tell you specifically, what a typical Tuesday looks like for me. I woke up a little earlier than usual, around 8 am, because I had to do some reading for my 9:55 am Greek and Roman mythology class. We have recently been…

Hello hello hello!
Hi everyone! I’m back back back again blogging this semester! This is my fourth year doing this, so it’s very bittersweet starting this journey for one last time. But let me reintroduce myself first. My name is Vyara (she/her pronouns), and I’m a senior at Wellesley, majoring in physics and minoring in math. I’m an international student from Bulgaria, and…
Inside the Imaginary Lab: My Research in Psychology
Hello beautiful people, As an economics and psychology double major, one of the most defining aspects of my Wellesley experience has been research through the First-Year Apprentice Program (FYAP). Since my first year, second semester I gained the opportunity to work with Dr. Tracy Gleason, the head of the Psychology Department, in her research lab titled Imaginary Lab. In our…

Goodbye (for now)!
Hi everyone! It’s the last week of classes, honk, honk! The weather is great, the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing…and exams are coming. I am honestly enjoying the warm weather so much that I am a little behind on homework right now, but I should be able to catch up by LDOC, the last day of classes. I…
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…
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…
Senior Year Reintroductions!

An exciting week on campus: Solar Eclipse and the Ruhlman Conference
Hey everyone! It has been a really eventful and exciting week on campus. On Monday we experienced a partial eclipse, which was really exciting. There was an event at our observatory where they were giving out special glasses to look at the sun. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that there were hundreds of people there, both Wellesley students,…
My First Conference!
Hello Blog, Apologies for my absence – I’ve recently returned from my first scientific conference, so I was off-campus for a bit! I spent 5 whole days in Philadelphia for the Biophysical Society’s Annual Meeting. One thing about Wellesley classes is that students definitely attend, so I was a bit nervous about missing class, but my professors really worked with…
