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…
Sorry, this seat is taken!
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…
