Ribbons and Cupcakes and Research, Oh My!

by Courtney March 3, 2013

Tomorrow, Monday, March 4, the Biological Sciences Organization will be hosting our semesterly bake sale. Usually, we donate a portion of the proceeds from our sales to animal adoptions. And, though we absolutely love animals and strongly support and promote saving their habitats, we have decided to break from tradition in order to support another [...]

My Favorite Commuter Perk

by Courtney February 24, 2013

After a long day of physics, biochemistry, and molecular techniques lab, one of my favorite things to do is return home to my best friend, Cocoa Dixie, to take her for a walk. Being a commuter allows me to do that.

My Alternate Reality

by Courtney February 16, 2013

During the school year, I never really have a ton of time to engage in the purely-American tradition of watching primetime TV. And, honestly, I really don’t like TV all that much to begin with. But, even so, I do enjoy watching a few shows; namely, “The Big Bang Theory,” “Jeopardy!” (for which I’ll be [...]

Get Your Geek On!!

by Courtney February 3, 2013

It wasn’t all that long ago when nerds were deemed ‘uncool,’ ‘unpopular,’ and just plain ‘geeky.’ I definitely consider myself to be a nerd; I am thoroughly interested in biology, and, though I prefer microorganisms to thermodynamics, I’m not scared half to death when someone asks me to balance a chemical equation (which happens more [...]

Thinking about the Brain

by Courtney January 27, 2013

It’s really exciting to be an upperclassman. Yes, it means that the classes are harder and that the homework takes longer, but, at the same time, it allows you to delve deeper into the topics that you love. Another perk- you have the opportunity to take independent study courses. This semester, I’m enthralled to be [...]

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 [...]

Never Say “Twenty Minutes Tops”

by Courtney January 21, 2013

One of the themes in Disney’s movie “The Haunted Mansion” revolved around the idea that nothing takes just twenty minutes to complete. We’ve only been back in school for a week, and, looking at the schedule, things don’t appear to be terrible. I, for one, am lucky enough to have the ultimate luxury of only [...]

Another Semester Over.

by Courtney December 13, 2012

I say after finishing finals every semester, but I can’t believe the semester is actually over.  Gone are the days of developmental bio, plant bio, physics I, biotech I and IV, advanced stats, and bio seminar.  It’s hard to believe it’s all over. I can say with confidence that I’ve learned a lot of really [...]

Minitab to the Rescue!

by Courtney December 1, 2012

To date, I think I’ve highlighted each class that I’m currently taking , excepting advanced statistics.  For a third-year biology major like me, it is sort of strange to be in advanced statistics, which is a 300-level math class.  Dr. Newton is helpful and fun, and I’ve made some friends in the class, but it’s [...]
