Wellesley graduating seniors: here are 10 things to do before you go away to college

June 2, 2016 by Deborah Brown

So you’re finally leaving us. Most of you have been here since kindergarten and now that you’re graduating and about to set off into the world, make sure you know where you came from. Here are ten things that you simply must do so that when it comes to Wellesley you can truly say, “Been there, done that.”

Wellesley RDF reusables area — Find something for your dorm room from the Give and Take area at the RDF.

Waban Arches grafitti — Stroll the Waban Arches and take pictures of the graffitti.

Morses Pond, Wellesley — Swim at Morses Pond one more time. Stay until closing and get your pizza delivered to the beach. (Picture courtesy of the Wellesley Recreation Department.)

Walk around Lake Waban and admire the topiaries.

Maugus Wellesley — Have breakfast at Maugus Diner.

Reidy Field little league baseball — Run the bases at Reidy Field.

Glamour Girls, Wellesley MA — Take in a summer concert at Town Hall. The Glamour Girls are always fun.

Davis Museum, Wellesley — Visit the Davis Museum at Wellesley College. Identify a work there as your favorite so that you can drop it into conversation when the talk gets artsy. (“Oh yes, the Davis Museum is this gem of a place in my hometown. They’ve got a Monet there that absolutely defines Impressionism.”)

E ntering Swellesley — Take a selfie at one of the entering Wellesley signs. Yes, we know you are, in fact, leaving town — don’t get bogged down in literalism. Just do it.

Slide down Devil’s Slide, just like you did during the 4th grade geology field trip.

Just one more thing…don’t forget to stay in touch. Like The Swellesley Report on Facebook. Follow The Swellesley Report on Instagram.

Good luck, Class of 2016. We’re proud of you.
