Hi everyone! I’m back back back again blogging this semester! This is my fourth year doing this, so it’s very bittersweet starting this journey for one last time. But let me reintroduce myself first. My name is Vyara (she/her pronouns), and I’m a senior at Wellesley, majoring in physics and minoring in math. I’m an international student from Bulgaria, and…

College essay advice 📝
Hello blog! Welcome back to my little corner all about Wellesley :D. Today I’m going to be sharing some advice about what the majority of students consider to be the most intimidating part of college applications: the essays. When I was applying to colleges, all of the essays stressed me out so much. I started writing my personal essay in…
Farewell!
Hello Blog, Well, it has finally come. My last blog. It has been an absolute joy to write weekly updates about my life for the past 3 (!!!) years. I’m honestly quite emotional about leaving Wellesley, and there’s no way to write that up in a (somewhat) digestible blog post. This was my dream school. I cried so hard when…
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!…
Best Study Spots
Hey Blog and happy almost-Thanksgiving break! Today, I am listing some of my favorite study spots on Wellesley’s campus. I did a post two years ago on my favorite places, so I am updating that list with two new additions! Wellesley’s main library, Clapp Library, is closed for renovation until next summer, so these are the alternatives I have found. …
MTV (WC): Welcome To My Crib
Hello Blog, That’s right. It’s time for a long overdue dorm tour!!! This year I’m living in Pomeroy Hall (Pom <3) for my third year, which I think should make me an honorary “lifer” (someone who lives in the same dorm all 4 years). I got super lucky this year and am living in a block with 4 of my…
Eat the Menu: Wellesley College Edition
Hi Blog, We’re going to do something a little different this week! I am going to show you some of my favorite meals so far from the dining halls on campus (with my sub-par food photography skills). 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),…
