Dear Junior Year, Wow, you were no joke! As the semester is about to draw to a close, let’s take a look back at this year and reflect on the lessons I’ve learned and the growth I have made. I started this school year off in a different country, in a different time zone, at a different school having a…
Winding Down
This is my last blog post of the semester! My sophomore year at Wellesley is really almost at an end. Next Wednesday is the last day of classes here. Then, reading period begins, which is our preparation period for finals. This semester, I have a final exam for my computer science class and final projects and papers for my statistics,…
Last blog of the semester!
Hey everyone! This semester has gone by so fast! I actually can’t believe that I’m writing this last blog. With the last full week of classes wrapping up, I’m trying to get all of my work done for the semester before finals start in less than two weeks. As I have shared with you before, I will be staying on…
MarMon!
Hi all, The best holiday of the year was just two days ago! Marathon Monday, famously coined as ‘MarMon,’ is a well-loved tradition and event that will forever be one of my favorite moments from my time at Wellesley. Every Patriots’ Day, which is the third Monday of April, the Boston Marathon takes place and is a wonderful celebration on…
Looking Ahead
I cannot believe the semester is almost over. We have two weeks left of classes before finals here at Wellesley! The Boston Marathon, called MarMon here, was this week, and I had a lot of fun cheering the runners on; we were blessed with super sunny weather too. Class registration is also this week, so I am preparing for that.…
Spring Weekend!!!
Hi everyone! April is a month of contradiction here at Wellesley — the weather is in the 70s one day, the next it’s snowing; there are a ton of social events and people having fun, and everyone is super stressed about deadlines and exams. Last week I was fully embraced by the rainy and stressful side of April. This week…

The Moon, Music, and Marathon Preparations
Hello Blog, It’s been a very exciting past week on campus! After some seasonally confusing sleet/snow last week, the groundhog seems to have finally wrangled the weather to be much nicer. We’ve had lots of sun recently! I keep seeing videos on social media about how colleges start to “college” when the weather gets nicer, and this couldn’t be more…
Realities of Being a Student
Happy April! April is my birthday month, and I am also excited that the month means that summer is getting closer. But, the reality of being a Wellesley student this month is that we are all currently swamped with work. I want to give an honest glimpse into my academics right now. My statistics class is taking up most of…
An exciting week on campus: Solar Eclipse and the Ruhlman Conference
Hey everyone! It has been a really eventful and exciting week on campus. On Monday we experienced a partial eclipse, which was really exciting. There was an event at our observatory where they were giving out special glasses to look at the sun. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that there were hundreds of people there, both Wellesley students,…
