Things I miss about Wellesley
Hey everyone! I can’t actually believe that it’s already December, time really does fly by. I am officially done with classes (yay!), and my exams start next week (nay!).

An exciting week on campus: Solar Eclipse and the Ruhlman Conference

I’m pretty settled in since I moved in last Friday – I’ve been on campus for a while now going through Student Leader Training, and then helping carry out Pre-Orientation or International Student Orientation between Wednesday…
