Hail to Pitt

Hanging out at one of my favorite maker spaces on campus today, as I will every Friday. This is a sort of headquarters for serious game and simulation development in the Information Science department - one of many awesome maker spaces on campus! I’m actually taking a class this semester on the makers’ movement - we have a great campus for this stuff! #mypittstory #h2p #maker #making #makers (at University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJub8-gBkD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ovv1afrnuwgg

#tbt to @pittmensglee’s tour to Chicago last spring! Being in this club has given me more experiences and taken me to more places than just about anything else I’ve been a part of at Pitt. If you’re a freshmen who’s interested in singing, I’d definitely recommend you audition this week #mypittstory #h2glee #h2p (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGxdd6gRZT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qjj5tp03f1n4

Over the weekend I had the chance to head downtown to see Aladdin (cheap seats and free bus transportation with my Pitt ID, as always). Not a perfect show but it was one of the more amazing spectacles I’ve seen at the Benedum! It was the end of the 2017-2018 season but the 2018-2019 season is looking really great! #mypittstory #h2p #pittsburghtheater (at Benedum Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFQb--gTOY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ab9wcv5qk108

So, today I went up to the 10th floor of the Cathedral for my Set Theory class and the classroom has this nice view and it turns out they’ve renovated the whole Philosophy department and it’s all fancy with this nice tiling and stuff and it was a nice surprise on my second day! (Did I mention we’re #1 in the world in philosophy?) #mypittstory #h2p #philosophy #pittphilosophy (at Cathedral of Learning)

That’s a wrap! Thanks for letting me share #mypittstory with you this year. Sophomore year has been an incredible journey. See you in the fall! ☀️ #signingoff 📷: @rachelhaak (at University of Pittsburgh)

Last but not least: my Pitt friends share advice for incoming students. It’s been so fun sharing these videos with you! Thanks for watching :) #mypittstory #pitt2022 (at University of Pittsburgh)

Well, the semester’s coming to an end and it’s about time I sign off for the year! It was a good spring. I officially became a BPhil candidate, received an award from the honors college, worked on a game development team of 8 as the creative director, started a student organization, was a teaching assistant for two CS courses, got a new job developing software for research in the HPS department, made a few smaller educational games with IS and Philosophy faculty, sang with the Glee Club, launched a web application which will form the basis for my honors thesis, and ate a bunch of v good food (also I did classes at some point, too). I’m sure the fall will only be more busy! Over the summer, I’ll be working as a research intern at Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, just a block down the street! See you all in the fall! #h2p #mypittstory (at University of Pittsburgh)

Next week, the glee club heads west for a domestic tour of the Chicago area! There are still some finals to get through before then.... but I’m still hype! Here’s a shot from last Spring’s tour to New York City #mypittstory #h2p

‪I have thoroughly enjoyed the past 4 years here at the University of Pittsburgh! Pitt has provided me with countless amazing opportunities to prepare for my future. With graduation this weekend, it is time to sign off for the final time! #mypittstory #h2p #Classof2018 ✌🏻‬ (at University of Pittsburgh)

It’s a good morning to take a final! Last exam of the semester! #h2p #mypittstory

In one week from today, I’ll be walking across the stage at both my Neuroscience graduation and Pitt’s Commencement ceremony! 4 amazing years at Pitt are coming to end, and I’m going to make sure I make the most of my last week on campus! #mypittstory #h2p (at University of Pittsburgh)

Celebrating the end of the semester with some late night Fuel and Fuddle! For the prospective students out there who don’t yet know, Fuel and Fuddle is a gastropub on campus that is basically the most Pittsburgh food I know of. My favorite thing there are these super good spicy pierogies called the “Chipotle Polka” but tonight I got this pulled pork sandwich called the “Hog Heaven”. It’s a great quirky place that helps make our campus more special #mypittstory #h2p (at Fuel and Fuddle)

We ended the first Sustainability Week with a Symposium to show off my class’s projects throughout the semester. I have learned so much sophomore year, and I can’t believe finals are NEXT WEEK already! #mypittstory #pitt2022 (at William Pitt Union)

#tbt to a few weeks ago at the Pitt Honors Awards Ceremony where I was awarded the Mary Ellen Callahan award for my research in the social sciences and humanities - shout out to the dozens of faculty members who’ve helped me get to where I am! #h2p #mypittstory #pitthonors #pittUHC (at University of Pittsburgh)

Shoutout to @rsapitt for putting on a fun carnival in the Quad! I got to celebrate my Legal Studies final with funnel cake😋 #mypittstory (at Quad)
