	Learning to love the P.E. requirement By Katie Chen April 12, 2011 - 3:07pm It may sound a bit ridiculous, but out of all the distribution requirements the one I was dreading the most was the P.E. requirement. It isn’t that I’m not an athletic person who hates to work out; I was involved in competitive swimming for 12 years before coming to Wellesley and am used to exercising for a minimum of two hours a day. I was just worried about fitting physical education into my schedule. It didn’t seem that important. I came to Wellesley to go to school and take classes here, not exercise for credit. READ MORE

	Tips on how to avoid plagiarism By Taylor Bass March 15, 2011 - 10:51am Does your school have an honor code? I came from a high school with an honor code that applied not only to academics, but also to general life. This meant that we didn’t need locks on our lockers because we were all expected to be honorable human beings and respect items that did not belong to us. We were required to write HC or sign our initials on every test and quiz, and occasionally on homework assignments. I never felt like this was enough. I always wrote the whole statement. I had it memorized in English, French, Spanish, and even Latin; I was prepared for all of my classes. “I swear that I have not violated the Honor Code.” Such a simple phrase. READ MORE
	Declaring my major By Katie Chen March 7, 2011 - 3:27am As a sophomore, I recently had to declare my major. I had no intention to study abroad, so I completely put off filling out the form until this semester. To be honest, declaring wasn’t nearly as traumatizing or life changing as I thought it would be. I just expected more. READ MORE
