At Wellesley, there are 4 different main dining halls, 2 cafes, and a few student-run co-ops. Most dining halls are either very close…

My last week at Wellesley (For now!)
The time has come for me to say goodbye to Wellesley and the Admission Office, at least for the semester. I will be closing out August back home in New York, and come September, I will be in Greece! As excited as I am to go abroad, I need to wrap up everything at Wellesley (aka start and finish packing),…
Movers and Shakers!
One of the things I really appreciate about being at Wellesley over the summer is our proximity to Boston, whenever I get bored or want to go on an adventure I know the city is only a train ride away. I’m especially grateful for this because last summer I was in a small town in the Berkshires with no car…
Track and Fun
Hi Blog! One of the things I love about Wellesley is PERA, which stands for physical education, recreation, and athletics. I’m part of our cross country and track team, and I run distance events. Athletics has been a way I’ve found a supportive community and gone on adventures. To begin the process of playing a sport in college, I filled…
Discovering Archaeology at Wellesley!
This week marks one month of working in the admissions office, and so far I’ve given 24 tours (according to the tour counter Elise and I have going)! A lot of the students on my tours haven’t decided what they want to study in college, which is an experience I can definitely relate to. I didn’t take my first anthropology…

Hi!
Hi everyone! I’m Lara, welcome to my blog 🙂 This summer I’m on campus interning at the Admissions Office, and I’m super excited to kickstart my influencer era.

Goodbye Blog (just for now!)
Hi Blog, Well, here we are. The end of another year at Wellesley College. I’m having so many feelings about almost being a senior. 3 years genuinely go by so quickly. Last year around this time I was reflecting on what it meant that I was halfway done with college. Now it’s time to reflect on my junior year at…
