Hello Blog, SO much has happened in the past few weeks. It is suddenly spring on campus – all of the magnolia trees are blooming, I haven’t touched my winter jacket in weeks, and people are always lounging around outside (especially in the courtyards or dorms). This is one of my favorite times on campus, and normally it’s a pretty…

Big News!
Hello Blog, A lot has happened this past week. First, I turned in my thesis!! It is 123 pages long and finished! My actual oral exam/thesis defense is in a couple weeks to decide if I get honors in my major, but the thesis is officially turned in (early!). After the defense we also have time to make minor edits,…
A Musical Start to the Semester!
Hello Blog, Let’s do the final run down of classes I’m taking for my last semester! CHEM 341: Inorganic chemistry – my final chemistry class at Wellesley! At this point, I’ve exhausted most of the chemistry classes in the department, and this is supposed to be a really fun chemistry course to end on. So far, I’m really enjoying it!…
We Are So Back.
Hello Blog, Welcome back!! After a wonderful and restful winter break at home (working on my thesis), I am officially back on campus. I’m sad to say that this is my final semester as a student at Wellesley college, and thus, this will be my last semester posting to this blog. But never fear (I say to myself), we have…
7 Semesters (almost) Down, 1 to Go…
Hello Blog, And just like that, another fall semester in the books! Fall at Wellesley is always one of my favorite times. You truly cannot beat the fall foliage in New England, and it obviously doesn’t hurt that Wellesley’s campus is beautiful. We even got our first snow of the season, though it didn’t stick for too long. Honestly, as…
Last Full Week of the Semester
Hello Blog, As the name implies, this is the full last week of classes for the fall semester. Thanksgiving break was really late this year, so the semester is rapidly coming to a close. During Thanksgiving break I went home to spend time with my family. I am usually a huge proponent of the post-Thanksgiving meal walk, but it was…
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…
