STUDENT BLOG

T-3 days until SSP comes to an end, which can only mean one thing: it’s time to lock in. The classroom opened an hour earlier than usual this morning, so I forced my groggy self to pick up a breakfast bagel at 8 a.m. sharp and get to work. We have a poster presentation and […]

I opened my eyes to the sound of Erina waking my roommate and I up. I look at my watch: it was already 9:23 am!!! (apparently both of our alarms failed to wake us up, and class starts at 9:30) We jumped out of bed and somehow made it to class on time. It was […]

Today was a Sunday, and that meant there were no lectures, and we could sleep in for as long as we wanted. My day started off at 12pm, when I woke up and rushed down to the dining hall to get some food before heading to some activities planned for the day. The special activity […]

Hello! Welcome to my vlog day! I’m Isabella, and I’m so happy to be sharing an honest day in my life at the Purdue Biochemistry program.   I woke up at 7:30am (I love sleeping) and slowly made my way to the lab at 8am for a morning lab session. Despite being slightly dejected that […]

Rise and shine reader! My name is Sky and I will be your blogger for today! My day started out like every other day – groggily getting up and walking to the wonderful building that is CHAS to work on my final paper. Today was going to be a looooong day and I knew it. […]

HELLO ALL!   I woke up refreshed after a wonderful college and career day on the 15th. Me and my incredible roommate, Nehla, walked over to ME for instructions while I ate Ritz peanut butter crackers. Dr. Das gave us some tips on our upcoming Steady State Lab. In lab, we ran our first assay! […]

The morning unfolds in a new way today. Surprisingly, I get up early — a record time of 7:15 AM — to get ready for the day filled with riveting events. You’d think that waking up that early would give me plenty of time for breakfast and a slow start to my day. As usual, […]

We hope you’re wearing your best clothes! What’s up guys this is Syna and Impana writing last but not least!  Our day started as soon as the clock hit 12AM with movie night!!! We watched Us, but I (Syna) joined in like an hour into the movie so I had no idea what was going […]

Welcome to the second-half of SSP! It may be the second half, but my heart is entirely full—overflowing with labs, lectures, and loads of laughter. I know many of us have been told that “you only know love when it’s gone,” but if SSP has taught me anything, it’s that you can recognize love while […]

Hey there!!!! (Again) It is our second to last day of the program! It is such a bittersweet thought to think that we will be leaving in 24 hours. However, I could not even enjoy those thoughts because our final draft of the paper was due today… AT NOON. So as one does, I woke […]

Yes, the title was a little bit clickbait. Yes, this is going to be themed off the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (not really though, since I don’t know that many quotes). I think a more fitting and less controversial title might be: 10 Things I (Love) about SSP Synth Chem. Anyways, my […]

third to last full day of ssp synth chem! 5 weeks of ssp is almost over, which is sooooo insane to think about. now, it’s time to lock in on our papers and posters!!!  6:34 am i woke up bright and early, got dressed, and headed over to the CPP by 7:00 to work on […]

Are you ready for the Mbappé special? Because after (almost) five weeks of nonstop science and stress, I don’t feel like writing anything for this blog. It’s ok though because Kai and I made a very successful vlog together (it was actually all just Kai), so you should definitely watch that instead of reading this.  […]

print(“3 days till the end”) – Day 28 Reference  I can’t believe it’s almost time to leave: Today, create the final research report; Tomorrow, presentations and a talent show; Friday, certificates; Saturday, the end. It’s scary to know it’s so close. As much as I’ve hated nights here, I will never forget the rush to […]
