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…

I know that many of you are probably wondering how going to a college class feels like at Wellesley, what your relationship with your classmates is in college, and how to talk to your professors. So, I thought I would share my experience with those things at Wellesley. I don’t know if it’s just me and my experience…

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!)…

Fall Break Recap

Hello Blog, We’re having an especially short week here at Wellesley College because we’re coming off of Fall Break (a four day weekend). I had a pretty chill Fall Break myself, but I thought I’d do a recap here. On Friday, I went to the Boston Ballet with my friend (and former roommate) Anabelle. For her birthday, I got us…
