Life as a college student is looking up! On my last chemistry exam, I received 100. On my last calculus exam, I received 100. On my 2000-word research paper for Grand Challenges, I received 100. Hopefully I maintain this momentum as I head into finals week! I am currently home for Thanksgiving, taking a break from making a study guide for my final exam in Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, which I desperately need an A in to get that 4.0 GPA. So the stress is building up.
Anyway, the main reason for this blog post is to briefly mention why ASU's Fulton Schools of Engineering is awesome! I've recently received the honor of becoming a Fulton Ambassador not only because of how much I know Fulton, but also how much I love Fulton. The engineering programs on campus offers a long list of opportunities for students, allowing students to fully understand what it means to be an engineer. If you would like to know more, I will post my list of why you should go to Fulton (hopefully soon).
In the meantime, if you are thinking about becoming an engineer, I sincerely hope you choose Fulton, and I will be here if you have any questions. Just leave a comment below!
Until next time~

Bored in Chemistry
To my loyal readers,
I'm currently studying in Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University in a city called Tempe. Being a Barrett student, I am required to take an Honors course titled "Human Event," which is the most difficult class I've ever had to take. To be honest, the difficulty of the class depends on the teacher, I hypothesize. She herself has a great personality and fun, but when it comes to class, I am just too intimidated to talk.
Let me tell you a secret. The reason I am telling you this secret is because I am determined to drastically improve my grade, and this will act as further motivation for me to work even harder. My secret is that I received a 69 on my last Human Event essay. That is not exactly the lowest grade I've ever received on an essay (humanities is NOT my thing), but I have no AP curve to rely on. Yes. After determining and approving my thesis with my teacher, visiting the Barrett Writing Center, creating 3 different drafts, and having the paper peer reviewed 3 times by 3 of my peers, I ended up with a D. In the long list of what I did, I had forgotten to make an extra appointment with her to go through the essay more thoroughly, and I regret it.
Office hours are wonderful.
In other news, I received 100% on my Calc III test, which I am quite proud of. Shout out to my Vector Calculus teacher in high school, Mrs. Bailey :)
So yes. Human Event has taken over my life. It really is the embodiment of everything I just happen to be bad at, so I ask that you wish me luck / pray for me / HELP ME on my future endeavors, as my Human Event grade may very well affect my chances at getting a job :(
Until next time!
P.S. I successfully enrolled in all my classes for next semester, and my earliest class is at 10:30am :D
