My Dorms at Wellesley
I moved into my new dorm a few days ago – the fourth dorm I’ve lived in so far at Wellesley!

End of Junior Year and Advice 😿
Happy end of the school year! I cannot believe that this is my last blog post of junior year. This year has been great and has gone by incredibly fast. As with any school year, it has had its ups and downs: it has been academically challenging, and managing three jobs has not been easy. But, I have learned so…
