Week 10EC: Famous Last Words

This week has been crazy. It was the first week back from Spring Break and I had a two test, a paper, and homework due. Thankfully I was able to study some over the break, but there is always never enough time. I also worked quite a bit so that made studying somewhat difficult. I think it was a mistake taking seventeen hours my last semester because senioritis is hitting me hard. Additionally, I am applying to other schools and going to graduate program interviews. It makes studying that much more difficult, so hopefully my GPA does not tank at the end of the semester. To cope with all of this I try to workout, rock climb, and remain active, but due to time constraints this does not always happen. Rock climbing is what I enjoy the most because it is physical and mental. Each route is a puzzle and it requires you to be in good condition to move your body around in ways that you normally wouldn't consider. I usually try to go two to three times a week and I feel that it is really helpful to my overall mental health. With the semester coming to an end I think it is important to stay on top of things and I will try to do so with my studies, work, and making time to be involved in activities that stimulate by brain other than school.

    Hi Casey,

    I really liked your post because I found it super relatable. I really don't understand why teachers assign homework right after Spring Break as it defeats the point of the break. I visited my boyfriend for the entire week, but had to do homework for a lot of the time. The whole point of the week to have a mental break from our stressful lives and assigning HW after kind of ruins that. I am glad you were able to find a healthy coping mechanism though and wish you the best of luck with grad school!

Introduction to Casey Buller not Bueller

Hi, my name is Casey Buller. I am currently a fourth year and graduate this spring! My major is Chemical Biosciences with a minor in Religious Studies. My future plans consist of pursuing either a medical degree or a master's degree and then going on to pursue a medical degree. Currently, though, I am just trying to graduate like the rest of us. I've always enjoyed science and the knowledge it provides humans to explain the intricacies of this world. I have always been interested in religion and it is more of just a "for fun" thing for me to do so I am not constantly bombarded with science course; I have some variety in my life. Outside of my studies I enjoy doing many different fun things. I go rock climbing three times a week, read books (other than my normal assigned texts), cook, and backpack/hiking. Currently, I am reading Crime and Punishment  by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Prince of Medicine: Galen in the Roman Empire  by Susan P. Mattern. They're really gre

Favorite Places

My two favorite places that I will be discussing are the Colorado Rocky Mountains and Central Park in NYC. Backpacking is just one of my many hobbies and I recently took a trip to the Rocky Mountains and backpacked for a week there. It was absolutely fantastic! There is nothing like camping and being outdoors away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Heaven is truly a place on earth when you're outdoors.  This is a picture of Hallett Peak and Dream Lake. (Hallett Peak and Dream Lake: NPS ) From my trip to NYC over the summer, Central Park was one my favorite places. It was amazing to me that in such an active city, there were still places that you could go that made you feel like you weren't in the city. It was also cool to see so many people taking advantage of the public space doing all sorts of activities. Whenever I go back to NYC, Central Park will be a definite go to place to visit again. Here is one of the many pictures that I took of Central Park.
