Hello, Blog! I can’t believe we’re already nearly halfway through November! You know what they say: time flies when you’re in another country. This was another special week because I got to spend some more time with my friend from Wellesley, Adriana! She’s currently studying in Bath and took the train over so I could show her a little around…

Post-Halloween Blues
Hi everyone! Halloween is over, and now we are entering the long stretch before Thanksgiving break. Nay (negative yay!) for that! But Halloween itself was very fun. My friends and I dressed up for some on-campus trick or treating (I was a witch), and we got a lot of great snacks (my favorite ones were from the President’s house, and…
Feeling 22 (Tapas Edition)
Greetings my lovely readers! I hope y’all are feeling rejuvenated and had a chill week so far…. Mine has been kinda hectic, not gonna lie. So technically, I have actually only had 4 days of the week since we had our annual Tanner Conference that we have every year, and classes were cancelled for it. It was a really great…
My MIT Class
Hi Blog Readers, today I am writing about a frequently-asked question—what is it like taking MIT classes? This semester, I am cross-registering to take an MIT course about entrepreneurship. (This is my third time cross-registering at MIT—read my posts from sophomore and junior year about cross-registering!) This class is insanely cool—we are placed into groups and paired up with a…
Pubs and the Theatre: An Authentic London Experience
Hello, Blog! I am glad to say I have spent another week eating good food and seeing what London has to offer. Here’s what I got up to! In an effort to continue my London initiation, my flatmates took me out to a British pub called J.D. Wetherspoons, commonly known as “Spoons,” where we enjoyed drinks and delicious chocolate fudge…
Goodbye October!
Hi everyone! Fall in Wellesley is an amazing time: the trees are full of color, the leaves are gorgeous, it’s not yet cold, and the animals are constantly moving around (I especially love the squirrels running everywhere). It is also exam season, which can bring down the mood a little, but hey, all in all, the fall season is one…
Religious Life at Wellesley
Hi Blog Readers! Today, I want to write about a topic I have not discussed before on the blog—religious life for students here at Wellesley. I think there are two main ways to engage with religious and spiritual life at Wellesley. Firstly, there is the college’s Office of Religious and Spiritual Life (ORSL). ORSL has Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim,…
Beakers, Blunders, and Monday Vibes 🧪
Greetings, my lovely readers! I hope y’all are doing well and having a great week 😄. This week for me has definitely been interesting to say the least…. I am really glad that most of my tasks for the week have been done, so my weekend should be quite chill (fingers crossed…with me something is always happening lmao). So for…
Changing Leaves and Changing Playlists
Hello, Blog! October is surely flying by, and I’m finally getting a taste of the typical London weather: rainy, grey, and wet. Rather than let this get my spirits down, I’ve decided to embrace the persistent gloom and see a silver lining in the overcast skies. This week, I conducted what is one of my favorite annual projects—formulating the perfect…
Study locations power ranking using BeReals
Hi everyone! I had this idea to tell you about my week through my BeReals. For those who might not know what that is, BeReal is a social media app that goes off once a day at a random time, and you have to take a photo of you at that exact moment. The idea sounded fun in my head,…
