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 of the things I miss most about Wellesley. I miss:

1 – The lake, the walks around the lake, and that one bench that’s on the opposite side of the lake from Lake House in the middle of the forest.

2 – My friends <3. I have made a lot of cool new connections and friends here, but nothing beats my Wellesley people.

3 – How close together everything is and having the ability to hang out with people in their rooms around the campus.

4 – My professors—their enthusiasm and their office hours.

5 – The geese, ducks, and swans all around campus.

6 – I am shocked that I am saying this, but the dining halls, I am really tired of cooking, hah.

7 – The town of Wellesley. I love my little weekly walks to the Ville to buy berries from the store.

8 – The constant supply of ice cream.

9 – The white boards around the Science Center where you can sit down and work through problem sheets with friends and classmates.

10 – Slater house and the weekly eboard meetings.

11 – What the campus looks like in the winter.

12 – The bubble tea from Rice Burg in the town.

13 – The HUNDREDS of events that happen on campus all the time.

14 – The couches in the Stone-Davis common room.

15 – Hearing the bells.

16 – Boston, with all of its beauty and craziness.

17 – The small classrooms, where you can actually see and hear the professors and have easy interactions with classmates.

18 – The feeling of looking at Tower Court from its backyard.

19 – The swing in front of the Chapel.

20 – The hot chocolate machines (when they work!) in the different dining halls.

21 – The feeling of being surrounded by familiar faces.

As you can see, I am feeling a bit nostalgic this week. I am really excited to set foot on campus again. See you again next week!
