Back to Wellesley
Hi everyone! Guess who is back in Wellesley? It’s really amazing being here. It’s great seeing all of my friends, my favorite professors, even the geese again! What was not so great though was the weather this week—it was freezing cold the whole first week of classes. It’s starting to get better now, but it’s still rather cold, and there’s…

My Student Orgs

Today, I want to describe the main student organizations, or clubs, that I am involved with on campus: WZLY WZLY is Wellesley’s student radio and also reportedly the largest student organization at Wellesley by membership.

Studying, London, and course registration
Hey everyone! As you may have noticed, I skipped the blog post last week (November is just a tough month for university students I fear), so I thought I should give you some updates as to what I have been up to recently. Of course, the thing that occupies the majority of my time right now is studying. I just…
Destressing as a Wellesley Student: Zinemaking
Happy Friday! I want to use this post to quickly reflect on one of my new favorite ways to destress as a student: making zines! If you do not know what zines are, they are like collages of text and images that have historical roots in activism and marginalized communities. Wellesley’s main library, Clapp Library, is currently under renovation and…
