It’s the day after Christmas, and I just got back from the dentist. My life since returning home from Wellesley seems to be full of an awful lot of “adult” moments these days. I’ve only been home four days, but I’ve already been to the doctor, dentist, gotten my cracked phone fixed, learned first hand about credit history, and gotten…

Statistics, Supermoon
Well, this blog tonight is coming to you from a brain that has been doing statistics nearly the entire day. That means a tired brain, a brain that feels like mush, a brain that feels more like a t-distribution than a normal one. Statistics jokes. I have an Econ Stats midterm tomorrow, in case you couldn’t tell. I went in…
On Walden and Waban
On my way back to my dorm, on this uncharacteristically balmy night in October after a Jane the Virgin screening with lovely friends and crocheting, it hit me. Here I was, at ten o’clock at night on a Monday, and I had forgotten to update you, my beloved readers! Well, not forgotten entirely. More just gone through my day putting…
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. It’s a surreal moment. And there’s a sense…
Countdown to Copenhagen
Jeg snakker Dansk! Not really. I don’t really speak Danish, but I am on a 14 day streak for learning it on this language-learning app I’ve discovered called Duolingo. I’ve learned how to say lots of useful things, like “the apple is purple” and “the duck and the spider eat breakfast.” Now it’s nice to learn something just for the…
South Station, sentimentality, and sunsets
Greetings from an Amtrak train car currently waiting to depart South Station…spring break is finally here! I already feel like there’s a weight off my mind, although now that I don’t have quite so much work to think about I’m starting to realize how tired I really am. I really love my train rides home. Some people get sentimental on…
Turning twenty (and trampolines)
Happy Friday everyone! I am (number-wise) officially a year older since we last spoke. Twenty is a big birthday, in my opinion. It’s a very round number and marks entering an age of maturity. So naturally, I celebrated in a very adult manner: by gathering up some of my closest Wellesley friends and going to a trampoline park. That’s right,…
A snowy return
Hello everyone! As I’m writing this, I’m sitting in Metropark train station, checking the status of my Boston-bound warrior train bravely (but three hours slowly) making its way up the East coast mid blizzard. Oddly enough, this storm isn’t hitting Boston too hard…but New Jersey is certainly taking a hit. We almost got stuck in a snowbank twice trying to…
Adventures in Montreal
It’s not every fall break you get to dig out your passport, but that’s what we did. “We” being me and four of my closest Wellesley friends; attempting to pull the kind of spontaneous college road trip you see in movies (without the car breaking down or anything). Not just any road trip, but a road trip to an exotic,…
Five little Wellesley things that made my week
Five little Wellesley things that made my week 1) Burritos with a scale insect expert. Our weevil lab took a little lunch outing to Boloco with a professor from U Mass Amherst, who was coming to Wellesley to give one of the Biology department’s endowed lectures. He focuses on scale insects; how asexual reproduction correlates to the number of host…
