Last Saturday, I had the awesome opportunity to go hiking off campus. The hiking trip was hosted by Wellesley College Recreation, part of the school’s Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics Department and organizer of outdoors trips like this. This trip was aimed at students who are beginner hikers. I learned about the event and quickly signed up online. I love…

Making myself busy
How busy you are is entirely up to you. You can choose to do just what is required of you for class and spend your afternoons watching Netflix, and your schedule will be wide open. (That honestly sounds pretty good right now.) Or you can join a sports team, get on the mailing lists of five different orgs, write three…
Twenty Two
I turned twenty two last Thursday. At first, I woke up and looked out the window and felt a little older.

If I had to pick a theme for the semester so far, it’ll probably be purpose. Last weekend was family and friends weekend, and my Dad who lives in New York came up to Boston for a couple of days. We went out for dinner in the city on Friday, and I had the opportunity to meet some of his colleagues…
