I want to dedicate this week’s post to talking about cross registration! This semester, I am taking an economic history class at MIT, and this is my first time cross registering. First of all, the facts: Wellesley students can take one class per semester at MIT, Babson College, Olin College of Engineering, or Brandeis University. First-year, first-semester students cannot cross…

Back in the Swing of Things!
Hello Blog, In a weird way, this feels like one of my first normal weeks back on campus. The 1st week of classes is always an adjustment, my 2nd week I was grinding out summer internship applications, my 3rd week I was preparing for my conference, my 4th week I was at the conference, and my 5th week (last week)…
A Day in the Life!
Hi everyone! I realized I haven’t done “a day in the life” in a long time, so here’s one from my Friday during a relatively chill week. 9:18 a.m. I wake up to my alarm (I don’t like my alarms being at a time that ends at 0 or 5 for some reason) for my 9:55 a.m. physics class. My…
The Dining Halls on Campus
Hi everyone! I know that food and the dining halls are something that students are always interested in before coming to college. That was definitely the case when I was preparing to come to Wellesley for the first time. This is why I thought it might be useful to tell you about the four dining halls that we have on…
My First Conference!
Hello Blog, Apologies for my absence – I’ve recently returned from my first scientific conference, so I was off-campus for a bit! I spent 5 whole days in Philadelphia for the Biophysical Society’s Annual Meeting. One thing about Wellesley classes is that students definitely attend, so I was a bit nervous about missing class, but my professors really worked with…
Tools to Succeed
Today, I want to discuss the literal tools we use to work here at Wellesley. I am referring to iPads, laptops, Surface Pros, pen and paper, and other work devices! Starting off, I want to dispel a myth: you do NOT need an iPad to do schoolwork in college. I myself do not have an iPad and successfully take notes…
Lacrosse Season Incoming!
Hi all, Woohoo, another week of February in the books! Here at Wellesley, we had a long weekend due to the President’s Day holiday, but I am certain this “short” week will likely feel even longer than a typical week! As we (almost) close out this month of February, the lacrosse team and I will have our first game this…
Celebrating Traditions at College
Last weekend was Tibetan New Year, my second one away from home. Today, I want to talk about how I’ve celebrated this tradition at college and what celebrating traditions away from home is like at Wellesley. I am super fortunate to know other Tibetan students here at Wellesley and have a small community with them. To celebrate the new year,…
Sitting in a College Class
Hi everyone! I know that many of you are probably wondering how going to a college class feels like at Wellesley, what your relationship with your classmates is in college, and how to talk to your professors. So, I thought I would share my experience with those things at Wellesley. I don’t know if it’s just me and my experience…
A Wellesley Winter Wonderland
Hi all, It is a new week with the chance for each day to be a success! Here at Wellesley, we are supposed to be having a fairly large snowstorm today despite the unseasonably warm weather earlier in the week. For those reading who are not from the New England area, I thought it would only be appropriate to talk…
