this would be really sad I would cry
It's like that spongebob episode where Squidward was all aloneeee
and be sad I've never seen Spongebob :'( well I've maybe seen an episode or two a long time ago
What! Girl, come on. If you have to leave the chat right now to go watch it, I won't blame you
lolol I will NOT my friends are always trying to get me to watch it haha
A lot of my friends do the same thing with me about Friends, so I can't blame you too much :)
lol thanks. I just haven't really watched much tv at all
I bet that really helps you maintain good grades! I'm on season 6 of the office and I can definitely measure how detrimental Netflix is to my grades
hahahaha I wish I still manage to waste all of my time other places Also now that Spotify comes with Hulu my life is ruined
WHAT THAT'S A THING
Yeah lol I'm not sure if it's all Spotify or just spotify student but I pay $5 a month for Hulu and Spotify
Student discounts are the bomb dot com
It is a blessing and a curse
Yes...but can the Office help you understand macroeconomics? I think it can. It's really just a blessing.
I think it really can, tbh you are living your best life out there
I just came out of that AP exam so my head is crammed with with too many economic terms Thanks for the support
lol that's rough, freaking AP tests will getcha
Yup.... had to take 5 this year. RIP me. Place an AP exam label on my tombstone. Bright side though is that I get out of taking my spring finals, so all I got to do is party away the end of high school
There ya go! I assume since you're doing this thing you're going to BYU, yeah/ ?
Yes! I cannot wait to go to college. I'm from Texas, so the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is not living in a place where it's humid half of the year.
Yeah haha I was the same, I'm from Illinois so I welcome Utah's dryness lol It's great
Do you eat deep dish pizza up there?
haha they definitely have it, I'm from more central Illinois so mostly we go for normal pizza deep dish is ungodly
It is!!! It's not even pizza! it's a casserole and a disgrace to all that is holy
thank you
So what year in college are you?
I just finished up my Junior year, I'm taking classes right now in the Spring
Wow! What are you majoring in?
So I've just got one year left of undergrad, thank goodness Neuroscience!
That's awesome! My friend also plans on majoring in that, she's such a huge science nerd! What got you interested in the field? I want to be an emergency room physician, so maybe we'll work in the same hospital :)
I really enjoyed Chemistry and so I first started majoring in Chemical Engineering, but I abandoned it after my mission because I didn't love the engineering aspect then I switched to Biochemistry after I decided that I wanted to do medical school
So what's been your favorite class so far?
but I didn't love the higher lever computational and analytical chemistry stuff so I switched over to Neuroscience hmmm favorite class at this point might have to be Anatomy it was a way good class, and was super interesting
So would you say that neuroscience is relatively easier for you? Because I couldn't imagine neuroscience being "easy" Also we're doing dissections in my biology class right now, anatomy is SO fun!
Yeah, I mean Neuroscience is less math and physics heavy than Biochem so yeah, it feels "easier" haha
So, as an experienced BYU student, got any advice for an incoming freshman also on the med school track?
uuuuh probably mostly to get involved in stuff at BYU, there are a lot of cool opportunities classes are important but if you're doing it right you should stll have a lot of time for other things that are going on at BYU
That's what I heard from my cousin, she just graduated from there and she said that there is a ridiculous amount of socialization embedded in your day.
Also I definitely tried to take too many and too hard classes immeditately when I got to BYU haha Yeah, and there are cool service, pre-professional, and other clubs that can be really cool
Oh boy I have learned my lesson this year. After all these AP exams I plan on taking a more chill approach to freshman year. What was the hardest part about transitioning into college life for you"
hmmmm Probably like actually planning my whole schedule? I surprised myself but really quickly my schedule went insane l was staying up super late and sleeping in, and I really had to learn to keep a schedule
Early morning seminary for me has done that. If I don't get up on time for that class my entire day gets thrown out the window, so I've learned how to set a personal bedtime.
yeah, hopefully you can keep that up! freshman year was a good time
What's been your favorite experience at BYU so far?
ooooh that's a pretty hard question There have been a lot of cool things I've done a lot of crazy things lolol
Story time?
I started a Board Game Club that is basically just a weekly game night Hank Smith is our advisor
I thought you were going to say something like "I dressed up as a cougar and lived in the mountains for a week" when you said crazy
I started a Twitter account for a BYU building that got pretty popular, the byu newspaper wrote a article about me
But board game club sounds like a more enjoyable experience
I stayed on the roof of the SWKT for two nights
Woah am I in the presence of BYU fame Legendary student
I went to internationals and won with byu barbershop hahaha uuuuh I write for a secret BYU publication/website there's all kinds of fun stuff lol I can't really compare all the random stuff
Rewind to the internationals story - what's byu barbershop?
there ~used to be~ a byu barbershop chorus not cutting hair haha singing
Like a barbershop quartet? That sounds fantastic. You are a living legend.
lolol thank u thank u
Here you win the chat challenge simply for having the most interesting responses ever. Hands down. I am in awe of your college experience level 10000.
haha thanks ever heard of the BYU 100 Hour Board?
No, fill me in Please
check us out, there's a lot of great stuff on here for incoming freshmen as well, you might just have to search for it a bit haha 100hourboard.org
Okay, will do! So were all those experiences the cumulative highlights of the past couple years? You should write a book. Can I get a signed copy?
Basically it's a group of anonymous BYU students who write answers to questions under pseudonyms haha uuh yeah those are just some things I've done haha Writing a book would be fun, and if I ever write it, you can absolutely get a copy haha
"Neuroscience, Secret Writing Societies, and Barbershop Quartets: Dallin's Early Years"
lolol yes that will be my first book
Also I just opened up that link and I may or may not be ordering a T-shirt simply because somebody's username is "guppy of doom" and I'm dying
haha perfect not a lot of people know about us? I've been trying to get the editors to let me work on social media but they are really busy lol
This is basically a nicer Reddit, I love it. Actually no, I lied, "Jack Hughman" is a better username.
Oh man, I should go finish up some stuff before I go take a test :/ Thanks for chatting! Enjoy the Board lol
All right, see you later! Have a great day! Good luck on your test, and worst case scenario you can publish that book
