Hi everyone! It’s the start of my last semester at Wellesley. That’s so crazy to think about; I think most seniors on campus right now feel like that too, and we are collectively trying to ignore the impending end of our journeys here, look forward to the future, and just enjoy our last few months together. Winter break went by…

Winter Break!!!
Hi everyone! It’s officially (almost) Winter Break!!! I have been counting the days to it ever since we came back from Thanksgiving. I’m flying out on Tuesday, so there’s definitely some time (and assignments to do) before I’m home, but now it all feels much more manageable. I have already packed up most of my stuff for home; I’m just…
Guys, it’s getting serious
Hi everyone! I have had one of the busiest and longest weeks of my life. With homework, midterms, work, my thesis, and the Slater Culture Show, I have been juggling a lot of things. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (aka Thanksgiving break). We are almost there! I just got out of a meeting…
Post-Halloween Blues
Hi everyone! Halloween is over, and now we are entering the long stretch before Thanksgiving break. Nay (negative yay!) for that! But Halloween itself was very fun. My friends and I dressed up for some on-campus trick or treating (I was a witch), and we got a lot of great snacks (my favorite ones were from the President’s house, and…
Studying, singing, and fire alarms
Hi everyone! Somehow we are already four weeks into the semester, and yet I feel like I just came back to Wellesley yesterday. I have been super busy with my classes and my thesis, but I have also really been enjoying them. My PHYS 304 class has been taking up a lot of my time for the past few weeks,…
thesis done !
This will be another short update from home. I submitted my thesis! After over a year of research and preparation, I finally submitted all 88 pages of my thesis today. These last two months or so have been very difficult, therefore, the fact that I completed this project is a win for me. It’s not exactly how I wanted it,…
thesis, thesis, thesis!
I am one of the very ambitious seniors who decided to take on a thesis project. A thesis is essentially a big research project that you spend your entire senior writing and researching. It is usually on a topic related to your major. If you know me in person, you know I never stop talking about my thesis project. Not…
Doing Independent Work at Wellesley
In honor of finally finishing my darn thesis, I want to talk about doing independent work at Wellesley. Wellesley’s got a lot of options for doing independent work. By independent work, I mean projects that students pursue outside of a normal class, usually under the supervision of a professor to some degree. I personally think it’s a great option at…
The Light at the End of the (Biosynthesis Pathway)
Good morning, everyone. A lot has happened since I last wrote. Somehow, we have reached the point where my thesis deadline is in NINE DAYS. It is an honest to god thrill to think that the end is in sight! I still have a lot of writing to do, but I think I have passed the hardest part. It’s like…
Weekday Meetings. Weekend: Maine
Hello from Portland, Maine! We took a trip to my friend’s house for a bit of rest, relaxation… and mostly the chance to pet cats. It’s nice sometimes during your college years to just be in a home, even if its only for 48 hours, to have a reunion with fancy cheese and fireplaces. Especially since this week at Wellesley…
