Hello everyone! I have told you about Slater, the international students organization on campus, in previous posts. Now, I will tell you more about one of the biggest events on campus that we organize—the Slater Culture Show. The show happens every fall, and this year it was last Friday, the 27th of October. During the show, students showcase their talents…

Extra Busy Day in the Life
Today, I’m going to share what a very busy school day looks like in my life! I remember obsessively watching “Day in the life as a (insert college name) student” videos when I was applying to colleges, so I hope this can also be useful to readers. Tuesdays end up as my busiest school day. I have two back-to-back classes…
Declaring a Physics Major!
Hello everyone! I’m really excited this week because I finally declared my major! I absolutely didn’t come to Wellesley thinking that I would be a physics major, but here we are. Usually, the deadline to declare a major at Wellesley is in March of your sophomore year. Because I want to study abroad though, I had to declare my major…
Why I Chose Wellesley
I think I’ve previously mentioned a little on why I chose to attend Wellesley, but today I want to dedicate an entire post to explaining what led me here. If you’re a prospective student reading, hopefully some of this can resonate with you. But first, here are some updates: I declared my major and minor! My major and minor plans…
A walk around Tower Court
Tower Court is one of the biggest and prettiest buildings on our campus. According to Wellesley’s website, around 360 people live in it. This year, that number includes me. To be honest, when I was choosing where I wanted to live this year during the summer, Tower was not a top choice for me. A combination of bad luck and…
Restful Fall Break 🍁
Last week was fall break at Wellesley! If you don’t know what fall break is, it’s a long weekend every October at Wellesley where we have no classes on Monday and Tuesday in addition to the regular weekend. Students use it as an opportunity to rest, catch up on schoolwork, explore Boston, go to New York City or elsewhere along…
First-year orientation through the eyes of a sophomore!
I remember my New Students Orientation last year and how excited I was for it. I was excited to move in, to meet my neighbors, classmates, people in general, and to start my college experience. I had an incredible time throughout that week last year, so I knew that I wanted to be a part of it again this year,…
Sophomore Fall
This week, I’m updating on where I am academically as a Wellesley sophomore. Declaring your major is the major part (see what I did there) of sophomore year at Wellesley! At Wellesley, you can major, double major, or major and minor. If you plan to study abroad in your junior year, then as a sophomore you’d have to declare your…
A Weekend in Boston
One thing about me is that while I love exploring, I easily get caught up in work and don’t go into Boston as often as you might think. From time to time though, I am hit with the need to go out there and just walk around the city. That is exactly what I did this past weekend. Boston in…
My Favorite Wellesley Tradition
One of my favorite Wellesley traditions is…. Flower Sunday! If you don’t know, Flower Sunday is the oldest tradition here at Wellesley. Once a year on a Sunday in September, first-year students (littles) are paired with upperclassmen students (bigs); bigs give flower bouquets to littles, attend a multifaith ceremony at Houghton Chapel, and bond over brunch. Everyone dresses up nicely…
