Hi everyone! Guys, I think the Slater Culture Show went really well?!? I think at least. It is a very weird experience to be backstage: you can’t really hear what is being said on stage even if you are standing right next to the stage behind the curtains, and you can’t really see or hear the audience. The first thing…

Hello hello hello!
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…

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!

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…
