Hi Blog Readers, Last week was Thanksgiving break, and next week is the end of classes! I wanted to use this post to quickly recap my break and what I have been up to in my classes. Tuesday was the last day of classes before break at Wellesley, and I flew back home to Illinois that evening. The college offers…

A Chilly Valentine’s Weekend ❄️
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…

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…
