Hi everyone! March is a pretty busy month back home because a few of our bigger holidays are in the first two weeks of that month. The first of March is Baba Marta, a holiday dedicated to the ending of winter and the welcoming of spring. We usually wear red and white bracelets that our family and friends have given…

Midterms Season (but not for me 🙏)
Hello Blog, The couple of weeks before spring break are usually pretty busy in college, but I’m in the strange position this year where it’s quite the opposite! The first 6 weeks of the semester went by in a blur, and now I feel like I get to chug along at a normal pace. A lot of my friends are…
MIT Class Day
I want to continue my post from last week and explain what a day in the life looks like when I take my class at MIT! My class is once a week for three hours in the evening. I take the convenient school shuttle, called the loco, to get to MIT’s campus. On weekdays, the loco makes a stop in…
Homework in College
Hi everyone! I will be honest—this is a really long and busy week for a lot of students at Wellesley, including myself. With spring break right around the corner and the midterms nearing, I’m prepared for a busier schedule in the next couple of days. In the spirit of that, I thought I would share with you what my typical…
Leap Day Week
Hi all, Happy Leap Day! What an exciting way to end this last week of February. For many, the end of the month brings about upcoming essays, exams, projects, and of course stress! I have been working on finding activities that help me to relax and take a break from the heavy coursework. For this week, it felt fitting to…
Cross Registration
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…
