A Week as a Student

You start with an 8 AM Intro to Molecular Biology lecture, diving into gene expression and protein synthesis. Later, General Chemistry introduces complex organic structures, making your head spin as Professor Evans explains isomerism. A quick stop at the student union for lunch with friends offers a needed break. You spend the afternoon in the library, deciphering lecture notes, trying to connect molecular pathways to the morning’s new, dense vocabulary before starting your Chem problem set.
