Traying By Wellesley

Improved Essays
“Traying” was the first entry that caught my eye because it shows that Wellesley is the type of school that has traditions and a tight-knit community, which is something I am looking for in a college. Not only does sledding on a lunch tray sound incredibly entertaining, but the tradition illustrates that even though Wellesley students work hard, they also find time to have fun. “Traying” demonstrates that finding an optimal balance between work and play is important to the Wellesley community. Additionally, “Traying” exemplifies the “fun” aspect of college that students look forward to.
Moreover, “Globality” further piqued my interest in Wellesley College because the video outlined many of the reasons I chose to study international relations.
