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…

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…
The Moon, Music, and Marathon Preparations
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

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,…
