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,…
Study Tips from a Wellesley Student
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break! I had a great time flying back home and seeing my family, friends, and pet cat. I missed him a lot. 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…
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…
Uneventful Monday
I recently wrote about what a busy day in my life as a Wellesley student looks like; today, I want to do the opposite and write about a fairly uneventful Monday of classes. I woke up early to work on a short paper for my Islamic art history class. Since I live on the east side, I am lucky to…
De-stressing in college…
Hi everyone! I love November—I love seeing the leaves leave the trees, I love the cold weather without the snow, I love the fashion during that season. What I don’t love about the month is that it’s so close to the end of the school year, and yet there is almost exactly a month left of classes. This makes November…
The different jobs I have had on campus!
Hello everyone! I know that some of you must be curious about working on campus once you come to Wellesley—I know I was when I was preparing for college. That’s why in this blog post I wanted to share more about the different jobs I have had here and my experiences with them. A very popular job on campus is…
When in Wellesley
Today, I want to focus on the fun things students can do in the town of Wellesley. I feel like we spend a lot of time talking about going to Cambridge and Boston on the weekends; thus, I now want to highlight and recommend some things to do within the town of Wellesley! Right outside the east side of campus…
College Fashion
I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend! Every year I say this, but I cannot believe it’s already November. It has felt like nonstop exams this past month, and I can’t wait to go home for Thanksgiving break in a couple weeks. Today, I want to write about something I have noticed in my past year at Wellesley: how…
