Happy Halloween! With it being a Monday, and most of the festivities happening over the weekend, it already feels like Halloween has passed, so much so that I wondered why someone wearing a creepy skull mask and flowing black robes waved to me on my way to class this morning. And then I remembered, oh, it’s still Halloween, which was…

Fall break & flight bookings
Fall break is already coming to a close. Tomorrow morning, once again, I will find myself wedged on a Greyhound bus bound for Boston, as we creep our way past the places I’ve never visited but now have memorized-New Rochelle, Bridgeport, New Haven, Westerly, Kingstown. I’m so relaxed right now, which is part of the reason this update is coming so…
Chasing Seagulls and Perfection
It feels like I just took a final exam. Since some of you haven’t experienced walking out of a final exam at Wellesley, there’s this moment when you walk outside after, that you can’t believe the world can be so still when your brain is still going a million miles an hour.

Countdown to Copenhagen

On coming home

Even if it’s only for a couple days, it’s wonderful to be home,…
This is the place…(Budapest, Vienna, Prague)
http://campaign.wellesley.edu/this-is-the-place Have you guys seen this video?? it’s the promotional video Wellesley has made for its campaign to raise funds to improve the school. As I was watching it I realized I knew a lot of the people in the video – and how that’s one of Wellesley’s charms. It’s such a small school, with such a distinct community, that you…
…and now I’m in Copenhagen!
Hi, it’s been a while! The last time I posted, I was at Wellesley finishing up my sophomore year in a whirlwind of assignments and parties and goodbyes – lots of goodbyes. As an international student I’m used to saying bye to friends and hopping on a plane to the other side of the world. It’s a privilege to be…
