Hello Blog, I cannot lie, it has been a treacherous last few days in Massachusetts. If you are looking for an authentic New England winter experience, Wellesley during these few weeks in February is definitely the place to be. We’ve had lots of snow, and then that snow becomes ice, and then the wind blows and you’re ice skating! (I…

Wellesley Life Updates
Hi everyone! The Wellesley college campus is still covered in snow and has been ever since we came back to campus in January. I feel like the weather was not that bad the previous two winters I have experienced here, but this semester is definitely up to a cold start. The good news is that this means that I get…
Surviving (and Thriving) in a New England Winter
Hi all, With the cold winter finally upon us, this blog today seemed almost too fitting. If you’ve never experienced winter in New England, get ready for a season filled with snow-covered landscapes, freezing temperatures, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure. While the cold weather can certainly be intense, it also brings a unique charm that makes the season…
We Are So Back.
Hello Blog, Welcome back!! After a wonderful and restful winter break at home (working on my thesis), I am officially back on campus. I’m sad to say that this is my final semester as a student at Wellesley college, and thus, this will be my last semester posting to this blog. But never fear (I say to myself), we have…
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…
Reflections on Winter Break: Back to Running, Retail and Rest
Hi all, Winter break was a magical time—a time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the people and activities that ground us. For me, this year’s winter break was a much-needed opportunity to step back from the busy rhythm of college life and embrace everything that makes home so special. From rediscovering my stride in running after an injury to…
7 Semesters (almost) Down, 1 to Go…
Hello Blog, And just like that, another fall semester in the books! Fall at Wellesley is always one of my favorite times. You truly cannot beat the fall foliage in New England, and it obviously doesn’t hurt that Wellesley’s campus is beautiful. We even got our first snow of the season, though it didn’t stick for too long. Honestly, as…
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…
Spring is in the air!
Hi everyone! I don’t know what it is about the week after spring break, but somehow it is always a really busy and tiring one. The campus just feels gloomier and quieter than normal. I personally like to blame it on the disrupted sleeping schedules. But the positive side is that since spring break ended, the semester is almost over…
A Wellesley Winter Wonderland
Hi all, It is a new week with the chance for each day to be a success! Here at Wellesley, we are supposed to be having a fairly large snowstorm today despite the unseasonably warm weather earlier in the week. For those reading who are not from the New England area, I thought it would only be appropriate to talk…
