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…

Tale of a Monday Morning Muffin
Hi all, Lots to celebrate this week! Happy Halloween, happy first of the month, and happy almost winter break! This week’s post honestly has no structure to be 100% truthful. I thought I could share a short story from the past week, just to give some insight into what my life has been like! You can laugh, it’s OK. I…
Slater’s Culture Show
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…
Recharging… 🔋😁🧘♀️
Hello Blog, Surprise – I took my exam, turned in my paper, and survived my performance! The work truly always gets done. Now that I’ve made it out the other side, this week has been pretty chill! On Friday, we had a carillon masterclass with a professor of carillon from another college. I played a movement of the Bach cello…
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…
Gluten: 0 – Anna: 1
I have been dreaming of writing this post for SO long…the day has finally come for me to talk about all things being gluten free. The good, the bad, and the tasty! I have been strictly gluten free since the second semester of freshman year, but only recently have I taken it as seriously as I needed to. I thought…
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…
Midterms Season 😦 (don’t panic!)
Hi Blog, I will not lie, I have been a bit stressed recently. It’s officially midterms season at Wellesley, so the work is really picking up. I have 3 big things coming up this week: my first CHEM 330 (physical chemistry) exam, my first REL 106 (queer bible) paper, and a solo cello performance at friends and family weekend for…
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…
