Hello Blog, It’s been a very exciting past week on campus! After some seasonally confusing sleet/snow last week, the groundhog seems to have finally wrangled the weather to be much nicer. We’ve had lots of sun recently! I keep seeing videos on social media about how colleges start to “college” when the weather gets nicer, and this couldn’t be more…

Spring is in the air!
Hi everyone! I don’t know what it is about the week after spring break, but somehow it is always a really busy and tiring one. The campus just feels gloomier and quieter than normal. I personally like to blame it on the disrupted sleeping schedules. But the positive side is that since spring break ended, the semester is almost over…
Let me explain my Spotify Wrapped
Hello everyone! Before I start explaining my Spotify Wrapped to you, let me say that music plays a huge part of my life on campus. Whether it is when I’m walking to class with headphones on, chilling with YouTube music on in my room, or simply studying in the library with Spotify in the background, different songs play in the…
The annual late February tease
Every year, at the end of February, spring pokes through for a day or two, as if to remind us that warmer days do exist. One year, we had two consecutive days in the 70s; I remember practicing guitar outside. Another year, I was lying down after reading in the grass, and a concerned driver stopped to ask if I…
Twenty Two
I turned twenty two last Thursday. At first, I woke up and looked out the window and felt a little older. And then I immediately remembered that I had left my Western blots in the wrong buffer last night leaving the lab, and hoped they were okay (they were). Maybe that’s what being twenty two is. A combination of feeling…
Monday, Through Music
I woke up this morning to a Wellesley wonderland- snow! Somehow, it’s already December, and winter has decided to make its official entrance. You would think, as somebody who’s lived on the East Coast my whole life, I would be prepared for the winter onslaught each year…but somehow I feel caught off guard each year by the first snowfall. Still,…
Sunshine before semester’s end
Hello again everyone! Right now I’m sitting in the Munger courtyard, where the cherry trees are blooming and there’s a warm breeze making its way through the pines. Clouds are starting to roll in, suggesting rain, and so I guess nature will make this blog be done on time. We’ve had the most amazing weather the past two days. Yesterday,…
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…
Unexpected winter beauty
We got snow! The first snow of the year on campus always has magical feel about it, even for someone like me, intimidated enough by last year’s 100 inches to be quite content with unseasonal warmth. Still, walking to breakfast this morning, dodging snowplows while listening to Tchaikovsky’s “Winter Reveries” Symphony, I couldn’t help but smile at the beauty that…
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…
