Man these grad school applications got HANDS

Been studying so much for this Biochem exam that I saw someone’s initials (LG) and thought it was denoting the single letter abbreviation of Leucine and Glycine

But fist, let me take a cell-fie

I love the lab. I love being in the lab. I love everything about the lab. Lab work gets so much shit for being tedious or repetitive sometimes, but it’s so fun I literally live for it

Every day I wake up and I get to do the things I’ve been dreaming of since I was 7. I go into the lab and put on my lab coat and my goggles. I culture my cells and wonder what researchers will use them and how. I think back to how mystical and impossible it all seemed to a younger version of me, but I’m doing it! I’m here and I’m doing it and I honestly don’t think I can ever express how grateful I am for that.

I’m down to my last final exam of the semester and I’m either going to pass the test or pass away. Tune in next week to find out which!

Knew it was time to end things with my now-ex when I noticed the difference in how I talked about him vs my lab work

Talking about him: Oh yeah, things are good, he’s super sweet 🫤

Talking about the lab: omggg the lab?? *blushing and swinging my feet* Yeah, things are going great!! my experiments are coming along super well 🥰
