One of the things I really appreciate about being at Wellesley over the summer is our proximity to Boston, whenever I get bored or want to go on an adventure I know the city is only a train ride away. I’m especially grateful for this because last summer I was in a small town in the Berkshires with no car…

Track and Fun
Hi Blog! One of the things I love about Wellesley is PERA, which stands for physical education, recreation, and athletics. I’m part of our cross country and track team, and I run distance events.

Discovering Archaeology at Wellesley!
This week marks one month of working in the admissions office, and so far I’ve given 24 tours (according to the tour counter Elise and I have going)!

Additionally, there are tons of hiking and nature trails connected to the college. First, there is the lake path which…

Post-Concert Blues and Off-Campus Adventures
I’ve been back on campus for three weeks now and to be honest, I was going a little stir crazy for a minute there. Last weekend I took the Amtrak back to New York to go to a Niall Horan concert, and since then I have been struggling to recreate that adrenaline rush (because what could possibly be better than…

Oh My God! Cape Cod

I’ve enjoyed the beaches and escaping the ninety plus degree weather. Wellesley has been beautiful and very green. On our visit to Cape Cod, we left early to avoid some of the traffic. Luckily,…
