Hi!
Hi everyone! I’m Lara, welcome to my blog 🙂 This summer I’m on campus interning at the Admissions Office, and I’m super excited to kickstart my influencer era. I’m part of the purple class of 2026 (rising junior), and I’m an anthropology major with an environmental studies minor. I am Brooklyn born and bred, and being a New Yorker is…
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,…
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,…
Back from Thanksgiving!
Hello Blog, Long time no talk! We’re officially in the home-stretch of the fall semester. These are the last couple full weeks of classes and then comes reading period and finals. It tends to be a very busy time of the semester because classes are wrapping up and finals prep is beginning. But before we get into that, let me…
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…
