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…

Realities of Being a Student
Happy April! April is my birthday month, and I am also excited that the month means that summer is getting closer. But, the reality of being a Wellesley student this month is that we are all currently swamped with work. I want to give an honest glimpse into my academics right now. My statistics class is taking up most of…
An exciting week on campus: Solar Eclipse and the Ruhlman Conference
Hey everyone! It has been a really eventful and exciting week on campus. On Monday we experienced a partial eclipse, which was really exciting. There was an event at our observatory where they were giving out special glasses to look at the sun. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that there were hundreds of people there, both Wellesley students,…
Spring Semester Round Up
Hi all, WOW! It has been a year since we last chatted! (Haha, get it 😆) But really, I have missed chatting with you all. I figured we could do a good old fashioned get to know me post with some updated course schedules and what it is like to now be in season for lacrosse! As for my academics,…

Now that we’re back on campus, there are only a few weeks left in the semester. This means back-to-back tests in these next couple weeks for me, which has honestly been…
Thanksgiving Break on Campus
Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a nice and stress-free Thanksgiving break if you celebrate that holiday. As I am an international student, I didn’t grow up with this holiday. So, this month was only the second time I ever celebrated it. I know that the origins of this holiday are complicated, but I do think that a holiday that…
Finals Season: Words of Advice
Hi all, The time has come! All things final exams, papers and projects are upon us in this last three week stretch of the semester. To say I am not feeling the stress would be a total understatement. I am very much feeling it and have been for probably a week now. For this post it seemed fitting to talk…
Let’s Hear it for New York
On Sunday, I went on a day field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Met, in New York City! This was for my Islamic art history class and so much fun. My day began VERY early at 5:00 am. We took a school bus to the city (not the yellow school bus you’re thinking of), so we…
Study Abroad Stories
Hi all, With less than a month remaining of my time abroad, I thought it would be fitting to chat about my experience studying abroad. To preface, I had gone into this time away without much preparation other than what the Office of International Studies requires. I had taken a look at the brochure for Trinity College maybe once or…
