Wait… Summer is almost here?
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012The semester is really starting to wind down, and let me tell you it’s been one crazy ride. The countdown has really begun for our students; from our freshmen eagerly awaiting the title of “Sophomore” to the seniors getting ready to walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, summer fever truly is in the [...]
What A Crazy Week!
Friday, March 23rd, 2012This week has really been one roller coaster of events. I mean, I’m taking a break from my Physics homework and Biochemistry work to sit down with some guacamole and chips to write this blog for our lovely readers! But by no means am I complaining; in fact, THANK YOU! You’re saving my sanity This [...]
New Semester, New Challenges
Friday, February 10th, 2012Hi guys! It’s been a while since the last post, and boy have things changed! I’m loving the new semester, even with all the crazy stuff I have to do. Good news though… The BRAND NEW science center is finally open!!! As a chemistry major, this is probably the most exciting thing to happen to [...]
Finals Week
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011Finals week is here and as everyone knows that means that stress levels are high, hours of sleep are low, and anxiety is through the roof. It’s amazing that anyone can survive this awful week, but we do… Somehow. For me, finals are probably the most nerve wracking thing to exist. I mean, a test [...]
Where did the time go?
Friday, December 2nd, 2011I can’t believe we are down to the last few weeks of the semester! This past week has been anything but relaxing. The common phrases of the week? “I don’t have time to do all of this!” “The project is due when?!” “I guess me and my bed aren’t hanging out tonight.” “I’m going to [...]
Goodbye Daylight Savings!
Monday, November 7th, 2011Now that the weather is starting to get colder (and the days are getting shorter!) it’s starting to seem like the semester is winding down. But that doesn’t mean that the work or the stress is winding down too! If anything, most students (including myself) are working harder than ever on papers, presentations, tests, homework, [...]
I Officially Feel Like A College Student
Monday, October 24th, 2011After last week, I swear I’ve never gotten less sleep or had so much to get done. I was up at all hours doing my homework and working on my biggest lab report I’ve ever written (it turned out to be 48 pages long!). If coffee wasn’t my best friend before, it sure is now!! [...]
Halfway There!
Thursday, October 13th, 2011Fall is officially here at the University, with the leaves falling and the trees changing to beautiful colors! Even though the temperatures aren’t typical of a fall day in the Chicagoland area (I’m not complaining!!), every student on campus is starting to get the squeeze that comes with fall. We just had our Fall Break, [...]
Another Week Down!
Friday, September 23rd, 2011Hey everyone, it’s me again! School is truly in full swing, and boy have I been unbelievably busy! Being a science major has a LOT of time and energy commitments that some may not realize! So for those of you out there, who are considering a science as their major (and by science, I mean [...]
