Hi everyone! I had this idea to tell you about my week through my BeReals. For those who might not know what that is, BeReal is a social media app that goes off once a day at a random time, and you have to take a photo of you at that exact moment. The idea sounded fun in my head,…

Fall Break
Hi everyone! Fall break was this past weekend, and it was a much needed rest (and time to catch up with work if you are a busy senior). Here are some of the things I did during this break: 1. My friends and I had an early Halloween inspired night. We reserved the TV room in Stone-Davis and watched some…
Study breaks, flowers, and Eastern European music
Hi everyone! It’s been a busy busy busy week in Wellesley. It is time for the second round of midterms around here, so studying is occupying a big part of my time.

A (busy) day in the life
Hey everyone! It’s midterms season (nay!!), so my life right now revolves around studying, revising, office hours, and more studying.

Hi everyone! Things are settling into their normal rhythm here in Wellesley—homework never ends, deadlines are creeping behind every corner, and you need to pull out your google calendar to figure out if you can hang out with your friends during the day.

Finals Season
Hello everyone! It’s finally here—the last week of classes. This semester felt endless at times, and yet I still feel like I arrived on campus a few days ago. But it’s a fact that classes are almost over, and that the final exams are here. Before exams start though, we have a few days of reading period. It’s a total…
Study Tips from a Wellesley Student
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break! I had a great time flying back home and seeing my family, friends, and pet cat. I missed him a lot. Now that we’re back on campus, there are only a few weeks left in the semester. This means back-to-back tests in these next couple weeks for me, which has honestly been…
Green (and haunted) houses
By some miracle, after four days of slick rain and dense skies that felt like a Sherlock Holmes dark and stormy night, it is lovely outside. It is so lovely that I have retreated to my new favorite study destination of the year, the trellis just outside the Wellesley College Greenhouses, blanketed by thin vines bearing large heart-shaped leaves.
