Hi all, Let’s talk about SOLO travel! It seems fitting given I am abroad and going to be doing quite a bit of traveling in the upcoming months. As someone who had only left the US for the first time this past summer, the idea of traveling abroad to study and also explore on my own was quite daunting to…

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…
Fall Break Recap
Hello Blog, We’re having an especially short week here at Wellesley College because we’re coming off of Fall Break (a four day weekend). I had a pretty chill Fall Break myself, but I thought I’d do a recap here. On Friday, I went to the Boston Ballet with my friend (and former roommate) Anabelle. For her birthday, I got us…
It’s Spooky Season…Back to School
Hi all, Let’s talk about everything school this week: classes, majors and how to manage all of it! I like to think I have a bit of a unique perspective with being abroad and being able to get a taste of another university’s academic expectations after being so used to those at Wellesley. For those who may not know, I…
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,…
A Day in My Life
Hello Blog, Happy T-minus 2 days to Fall Break! I received an email from a prospective student last week asking about what a typical day in my life looks like, so I thought I’d make a whole blog post about it (with some additional details, of course). Things have been pretty busy, so strap in! I usually wake up about…
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…
Monday Night is the New Saturday Night
Hi all, Happy first week of October! Holy moly did September just fly by so quickly. The fall at Wellesley is one of the most beautiful times to see campus. The leaves start to turn to a pumpkin orange, and the campus feels like a fall wonderland. I am envious of everyone being able to experience it this semester! While…
My Fall Traditions :)
Hello Blog! Yesterday was one of my favorite traditions at Wellesley – Lake Day! On one day in the fall semester, while the weather is still pretty warm, the college president will send out a surprise email saying that it is simply too beautiful outside and all classes are canceled. The Schneider Board of Governors (SBOG), our student-run campus-wise activities…
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…
