Happy almost-end of semester! I say this every year, but genuinely this fall went by sooo fast. I flew back home last week for Thanksgiving break and had an awesome time being back with my family.

Things I miss about Wellesley
Hey everyone! I can’t actually believe that it’s already December, time really does fly by. I am officially done with classes (yay!), and my exams start next week (nay!). I have loved my experience here so much, but I feel ready to go home and then back to Wellesley soon. Speaking of that, today I decided to tell you some…
Penultimate Week of Classes
Hey everyone! Yep, you read that right, this week is my penultimate week of classes, which is still crazy to me. I feel like I arrived here only yesterday, and suddenly I can see the finish line. My friends at Wellesley are just finishing their midterms, and I am here prepared to face my final exams. I honestly don’t feel…
My Student Orgs
Hi Blog! I know an aspect of Wellesley that I am sure many prospective students are curious about is student clubs on campus. 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. I am…

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…

Travel Diary
Hey everyone! By the time I am back on Wellesley soil you might get to know Scotland (and its neighbours?) rather well if you stick with me. I have had the opportunity to explore around Wellesley—New Hampshire, Boston, NYC, etc. Now though, I am definitely traveling a lot more. I think that that’s a very big part of the study…
