Hello Blog, I cannot lie, it has been a treacherous last few days in Massachusetts. If you are looking for an authentic New England winter experience, Wellesley during these few weeks in February is definitely the place to be. We’ve had lots of snow, and then that snow becomes ice, and then the wind blows and you’re ice skating! (I…

Wellesley Life Updates
Hi everyone! The Wellesley college campus is still covered in snow and has been ever since we came back to campus in January. I feel like the weather was not that bad the previous two winters I have experienced here, but this semester is definitely up to a cold start. The good news is that this means that I get…
Surviving (and Thriving) in a New England Winter
Hi all, With the cold winter finally upon us, this blog today seemed almost too fitting. If you’ve never experienced winter in New England, get ready for a season filled with snow-covered landscapes, freezing temperatures, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure. While the cold weather can certainly be intense, it also brings a unique charm that makes the season…
We Are So Back.
Hello Blog, Welcome back!! After a wonderful and restful winter break at home (working on my thesis), I am officially back on campus. I’m sad to say that this is my final semester as a student at Wellesley college, and thus, this will be my last semester posting to this blog. But never fear (I say to myself), we have…
7 Semesters (almost) Down, 1 to Go…
Hello Blog, And just like that, another fall semester in the books! Fall at Wellesley is always one of my favorite times. You truly cannot beat the fall foliage in New England, and it obviously doesn’t hurt that Wellesley’s campus is beautiful.

For those reading who are not from the New England area, I thought it would only be appropriate to talk…
Spring 2018

Real SNOW
Real snow y’all came down from the sky on Monday. It was the first official snowfall of the season. The last one was really nothing. There were slippery slopes and sidewalks, frosty leaves and grass. But it made for a beautiful sight. I took tons of pictures of the first official snowfall and wanted to share them with you. (I…
Unexpected winter beauty
We got snow! The first snow of the year on campus always has magical feel about it, even for someone like me, intimidated enough by last year’s 100 inches to be quite content with unseasonal warmth. Still, walking to breakfast this morning, dodging snowplows while listening to Tchaikovsky’s “Winter Reveries” Symphony, I couldn’t help but smile at the beauty that…
