Hello Science 200 classmates!
My name is Anna Wisniewski, and I’m from the beautiful city of Pittsburgh. We are known for our bridges, so HERE is a link to an article about them. I am a freshman here at Penn State, and my intended major is public relations.
Why am I taking this course? Well, I need a general science class. It’s not that I don’t like biology, chemistry, or even physics. I actually love science, and did pretty well honestly. It’s more the fact that I know those classes are especially challenging, and I need to keep a 3.3 GPA to get into my major. Maybe I’ll explore those classes later on!
Surprisingly enough, all through high school I had my heart set on becoming a pediatrician. Sooner or later I decided that just was not for me. I am not a science major because I love talking with people so much! Now before you say anything, I know that a pediatrician talks to patients all day. Thats why I thought it would be the perfect mix of medical and interactions. I just feel communications is a better fit for me and my talkative, outgoing, (sometimes crazy) personality. Although you never know, I could switch majors and end up doing research the rest of my life. I’m very open to exploring what Penn State has to offer, so I am willing to be flexible and try new things. Speaking of flexibility, I really love yoga. That was maybe an awkward way to transition between subjects but let’s just go with it! Here’s a meme of a dog doing yoga that basically sums up how I feel sometimes when I’m in a science class
I hope that I can get to know some of you guys, maybe form a solid study group, or just find some people who love Game of Thrones as much as I do and have viewing party. Whatever floats your boat! I’m excited to continue through this course and read all of your ideas about the science around us!
Reading this I realized we have a lot in common! I am also a communications major with a 3.3 GPA requirement and I too did well in math in high school. Although I am not from Pittsburgh (I am from Philadelphia– http://www.visitphilly.com/ ) or a big game of Thrones fan but hats only because I haven’t watched the show yet :(. With over 200 people in this course its nice to know someone has things in common with myself.
