Studyblr community - long time no see

Wow it’s been a minute since I’ve been on tumblr. Almost a year I think? Maybe less/more. I forget. Lots has changed and I’m not sure anyone actually followed me before anyways, but here’s an update for anyone who might have.

I graduated in December with my BS in Bioengineering (concentration in bioinformatics). The year prior I got to work on a super sweet senior design project which went well and overall ended my college career with a bang. Since then I have been having trouble finding a job in my area, so I expanded my search to all around the country and I think I’m positioned to have 4 (?) job offers which will be wonderful coming from a point where I couldn’t even get the first interview. Most of these jobs are bioinformatics/bioinformatician related jobs but a few jobs relate to data totally out of the biology sphere. A company (non-biology) is flying me out to their site next week and that job is probably my #1 and I’m so excited - I’ve never been flown out anywhere *ever*. It’ll be wild to move wherever I go because I’ve only ever been… here. But I’m excited.

As it relates to studyblr, I guess I’m no longer a part of the club (not like I’ve been active anyways LMAO). For now at least. I do plan to go back to school as soon as I can to get a masters in CS but that’s still a bit away. Overall I’m in a such better place after being off social media for so long and also just gearing up to actually start my life. I’ll by no means be posting consistently on here going forward, at least for now, but I just remembered I still had this tumblr and wanted to see what had changed which thank god isn’t too much.

I hope everyone in this community has been well - whether that’s with school or finding a job or just in general with life. Thanks for those that still follow an inactive blog like mine - it’s cool coming back and seeing new notes on old posts of mine.

I put all these extra leaves in a pot and they’re just growing roots. No soil. No water. Succulents are bananas.

He asked me when I fell in love with him and I knew it sounded dramatic to say the moment I saw him, so I told him this story of my grandma who had Alzheimer's- she forgot her name and the words for fruit and food, she forgot her address and how to use the washroom, all her life lost to the disease. The only thing she remembered was her son's name and when that began to fade, the one thing she always remembered was that she loved him, even in illness, even in insanity. She saw this 6 foot 2 man with a scrubby beard and she didn't know him but she said she trusted him, she asked him to hold her hand when she died. When does memory end and love begin? All I know is- she loved him before she remembered him.

i saw these two girls while riding a gondola in venice. they were smoking and chatting on their windowsill, waving at passing boats. i thought they were incredibly lucky; i would love to share an apartment with my friend or sister in the most romantic, magical place in the world. it would be like living a dream.

I finished my capstone project! Still iterations that need to be done (and I think I’m going to ask the professor in a week or two if I can stay in lab over the summer to make those design changes) but I can’t believe it’s over. Out of our team of 5 I was the only person designing this thing, and I feel like what I imagine a mother feels after giving birth. I never want to do a project like this again (except again maybe iterating on it..) and I never want to go into this line of work bUT it was great experience and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Gotta upload final documents before judging next Friday, but that’s it. No more designing! At least, that’s required..

#obviously I haven’t included pictures as to how the whole system works #nor have I described it since it’s pretty novel #but these pictures are what I’m willing to share lol. might try to squeeze a paper out of this..? #laegless #studyblr #study #biology #engineering #bioengineering #compsci #mechanical engineering
