#STEM major

really feelin' that characteristic finals crunch time experience rn

When I was young I was always bullied for being so beautiful and also incredibly smart and intuitive. The other kids would always make fun of my long blonde hair and big blue eyes... they called me names for being so in tune with my emotional intuition, and scoring incredibly high on standardized tests... it's a cruel world out there.

I just thought everyone would like this. The “default” human in my biochem class was a female body. It’s something so small but this Kinda thing matters. It’s so common that a male body is shown as the default when studying biology and anatomy, so it’s refreshing to recognize the inherent bias.

permanganate is such a pretty colour💜

Hands down the funniest mainstream misconception about scientists is that they are just generally knowledgeable across the board.

Trying to control a brat as a STEM major, call that motherfucker an extraneous variable.

I love being a biology major because all of my professors are fucking nerds I just had a doctor who is teaching me about conservation biology sign off her email with "may the force be with you"

last semester I had a professor that signed all his emails "sessuvium" (which is a species of plant that "goes with the flow" and can grow under intense conditions near oceans in high sodium soil) he also used pokemon in all his powerpoints and talked about his bisexual wizard dnd character while we were out in the field

I've arrived at CERN!

While it is exciting, I'm also finding it really difficult. This is all very unfamiliar. I'm not used to sitting in a shared office space all day with people who are essentially strangers. I'm getting socially exhausted often, and it's been difficult to recover and keep it. Today, it felt like nothing at all went right, so I felt awful when I got off work.

BUT I've done some self-care, and I'm better. I did accomplish a lot today, and this is a really difficult experience. So, I'm trying to be kind to myself, and remember all the positive things that happened today instead of the negatives.

Pictured is my ATLAS water bottle, and the view from my hostel!

i lost the original post but i would once again like to say that it is some kind of cruel joke that i am spending my nights studying for a calculus exam and doing chemistry homework when i could be reading good omens fanfic

study diary —

It’s crunch time.

I have finals in Calc 3 and Physics this week and I do not feel prepared (but to be fair, I never do).

Today I’ve just been working through Calc 3 review problems - nothing wild or special. I decided to put this little shelf next to my desk last night because I’ve been running out of space.

I don’t think I’ll keep it there permanently, but it’s been very nice to have somewhere close by to put stuff I’m not actively looking at!

This post is sponsored by Goose, who I snapped a pic of mid-yawn and mid-stretch earlier - I am very fortunate.

11.18.22 | a break would be nice

the past two and a half weeks have been stressful to say the least. with thanksgiving break and the end my internship coming up, it’s been a nonstop cycle of wake up early for school, work, then sleep.

i’ve been metaphorically attacked by 3 exams, 2 quizzes, one lab, and 4 internship projects these past two weeks. i’m also supposed to have a final project for my internship, but my boss hasn’t discussed any part of it like she said she would—and this week is my last.

good evening! i’ve sorta missed half of the autumn productivity challenge but consider this my promise to start tomorrow.

I am scared of people in STEM

+ biology people (idk if that counts as STEM)

From a Classics major (I can only do the M in stem ironically)

[twitt3rpate]

stem majors like to brag about being a stem major until the work and study needs set in.

I completely forgot to share these pictures. I mostly completed the tasks of today. However, I still have so many things to do. I sometimes cannot stand having this much work and not seeing the end of the road.

Buuuut, anyways. We got this, we got this.

When everything is finalised, I want to proud myself. I just want prove myself that spending effort will bring the happiness and success.
