My class, like many others, were moved online in March because of COVID-19. During weekdays, I would wake up at 8AM to eat breakfast, play Animal Crossing, and mentally prepare myself for 4 hours of lecture that started at 9AM. This had become routine for me, and I honestly loved it. Having this routine allowed [...]
The past year has been a big change for me in terms of my academics. I graduated from the University of Waterloo in April 2019 and started my journey to be an MLA/T at the college by the end of September. I had gotten so used to the undergrad life that going into the college I [...]
When I was in my third year of university, I had discovered and fallen in love with this amazing scicomm community. At the time I focused my blog and Instagram about my experiences taking bioinformatic and biotech courses, with a bit of insight into sustainability (since I was living away from home at the time) [...]

From Buzzfeed quizzes to astrological signs, the idea of self identity has been a topic on the minds of everyone at some point in their [...]

[Sidenote: I didn't realize how much I was holding onto. This post is a lot longer and more personal than my ones before, but I guess it's good for me to think about this subject and my personal experience with it] Growing up as the first born child of an immigrant family, expectations for me [...]
I haven't had much group work experience during my undergrad studies so far. Disregarding lab partner work, there was really only two instances of group work I can think of, and those moments were back in my first year. The first one a group research and presentation (on peroxisomes), and the second instance was just [...]
