This weekend I had a very special surprise visitor! My friend Elly came to visit me all the way from Ithaca for 24 hours only. She arrived bright and early at 10 am on Saturday, and we went to the Wellesley Bakery for breakfast before venturing to Boston. We took the green line to the Government Center (it was my…

HEY BLOGGIES. Welcome back once again to Avery’s blog. You know the drill. The song that describes this week is: Directly after work last Thursday, I went to #myfavoriteplaceonearth, The Boston Athenaeum. I got a new book and became slightly more versed in the Library of Congress Classification System. Which was a JOURNEY to say the least as I had…
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the MBTA
Welcome back to the Blog! One of my favorite things about going to college near Boston is the public transportation. I come from an area in the South where there are very few trains and no subways, so I’m grateful for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). These last few weeks I’ve been exploring Boston a good bit, and I…
Wellesley Myths: Fact or Fiction?
Today we will take a short break from our Wellelsey lingo series and drift our focus slightly. My roommate from high school came to visit me last week, and we had a really fun time. At some point we started talking about our college experiences compared to our high school ones. Upon that wonderful conversation, I got inspired to write…
Lara Ventures into Boston!
Unlike some people I know (*cough* Avery *cough*), I don’t go into Boston too often. I have big plans to go on solo trips around Europe while I’m studying abroad, but I figure I should start small with solo trips into Boston. I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to catch the commuter rail into Boston and go…

It seems this summer break has really aided in the fostering of my own spontaneity. Here’s the song that’s been on repeat for me this week, Chammak Challo by…
Being an Adult is Hard
Being an adult is so hard! I’ve had a very busy summer so far working at the admissions office and doing a ton of boring paperwork in my free time. I’m studying abroad in Greece this upcoming fall, and I’m SO excited!! But going through the visa application process is no joke. This weekend I went into Brookline to get…
That’s a fintastic idea!
This weekend, I visited the New England Aquarium in Boston. Before I went, I used my Wellesley free library card to get my ticket for half off. To get there, I took the commuter rail from Wellesley Square, which was about a ten minute bike ride from my dorm. At the aquarium, I first went to the shark and ray…
