After College

A Thousand Different Versions of Yourself

by Carly February 12, 2013

Let’s talk about catalysis, shall we? And, before you stop reading, I’m not eluding back to the biochemistry chapter I’ve spent the past five or six hours reading and taking notes over titled “Properties of Enzymes” (because as you and I are well aware of, the most important characteristics of these little guys is that [...]

Found my niche?

by Carlyn February 12, 2013

This past weekend was fairly simple. I worked, babysat, and did homework. I also went shopping for a little bit at The Children’s Place, which was the most significant part of my weekend (well, except for watching Justin Bieber perform on Saturday Night Live). You can laugh, but I still purchase some of my clothes [...]

Preparing is the Name of the Game

by Ann February 11, 2013

Our prompt for this week is what class has been most important to you in your school career.  While it is not your typical class per se, hands down for me it is student teaching. I am currently doing my student teaching.  Last semester in Jane Wolff’s Instructional Process, she would repeat week after week [...]

I Bet You Never Thought Your World Would Come to This.

by Carly January 25, 2013

As cliché as it may sound, if there’s one thing I’ve learned during the course of my time in college so far, it’s that this really is a time of self-discovery. If you had told the straight across bangs-sporting, ballet dancing, high school version of myself that once I went to university, I would quit [...]

Balancing Act

by Ann November 1, 2012

This is my second to last semester as a grad student. Next semester I will be doing my student teaching.  I quit my 9-5 job to focus on school.  I thought  now that I am not working I would have all the free time in the world. This is not true! I have learned that [...]

Confused? Me Too.

by Carly October 29, 2012

As I mentioned in my first post, I’ve changed a lot since first entering college. While my looks have changed (in my opinion) quite astronomically, I think the biggest change I’ve experienced has been in my personal interests. For example, had you told me as I went through my first semester of general chemistry as [...]

What do you want to be?

by Erica V. October 8, 2012

What do you want to be when you grow up? What is your ultimate goal after graduation? How does Fontbonne help you fulfill it? It’s amazing how when you’re a kid your imagination runs wild and free. As a kid, you come up with all of these ideas of what you want to be: veterinarian [...]

The future is all I think about.

by Corie September 27, 2012

The question that always comes up to kids is that, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I didn’t have an answer until Fontbonne. As a kid I would say, “I want to work at Taco Bell!” Thanks to my dad, I love taco bell. Obviously, as I grew up I realized [...]

Fridays Are for Biotech

by Courtney September 21, 2012

As many of you who’ve ready my previous blogs probably know by now, I came to Fontbonne for the biotechnology program.  This program helps to prepare students for life in biotechnology and biological research careers, which is, of course, the profession that I want to enter one day. It’s my third year at Fontbonne, and [...]

Hi my name is…

by Erica V. September 14, 2012

My name is Erica Van Buren and I’m currently a senior here at Fontbonne University. For me, 24 hours is not enough time to juggle work, school and family. I’m majoring in English, and I’ve recently decided that my part time job gives me lots of writing material. At the moment I’m employed part time [...]
