thank u for the ask babe !!!!! 💛
5. What’s your favorite class?this semester? probably evolution or organic chemistry, even tho they were the ones i paid the LEAST attention to! when i study the material i really love it, they’ve been interesting !! in my entire academic career tho? probably phycology, the study of algae. literally all the classes (except one) that i did on catalina, those were so outstanding and challenging and i haven’t been stimulated in a class like those very often! archery was pretty fun this semester too, i mean, c’mon. that’s a given.
33. What motivates you?honestly? getting good grades, lmao. short-term that’s what keeps me focusing on my academia, mostly with forcing myself to study and getting homework done. on a larger scale i really do love academia, and the fact that i get to meet new people, take new classes that are fascinating, and do more programs and opportunities while in school is what gets me out of bed in the morning, definitely! i feel really lucky to feel so motivated each day, i try to remind myself of that.
43. What are your short term and long term career goals?short term, i honestly want to start tutoring again! i tutored freshman biology for two years and this semester i didn’t because i knew i would have a fully plate without it (and boy did i!). but i really miss it and i almost want to look into applying to tutor again because it’s such an amazing feeling to help someone in a field i love so much !! long term, definitely college professor. the more faculty i make relationships with the more i want to be a college faculty and be as amazing as my mentors! it’d be a mix of everything i love about academia and then some, so that’s definitely my current long term career goal.
