Hey y'all, I am currently a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania and I made this blog to try to teach some lessons on how to survive life at an Ivy League school in real time--as I learn them.
I'll be covering a lot of different topics, from academics and study habits to the social scene and sleeping schedules.  It should be a fun ride, but of course there will be some bumps.
First, a little bit of background on me:

  • Male
  • Went to a small private high school, never had to study or do much work to succeed before coming to college (and we'll talk about why that's more of a curse than a blessing)
  • Currently pre-med, pretty set on that path
  • Interested in a wide variety of subjects, but for several reasons am locked into a very science-and math-oriented curriculum.
So stay tuned, I don't think I'll be updating this every day, I want it to remain engaging and interesting and truth be told, most people's lives aren't interesting enough to warrant daily updates.

Without further ado, let's do this!
