Even though I am a second-year student, due to the pandemic this is my first year on campus. Despite only being here for a short period of time, I have already noticed not only a physical separation between north and south campus but a division in the way people see each other based on which campus they mostly attend. As a Human Biology and Society major, I have spent most of my time on south campus but have also had the unique experience of interacting with north campus students as my major involves combining the sciences with aspects of the humanities. Through this unique perspective, I have seen how people from each campus view one another, and I am saddened to say that it is usually in a negative manner. I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pursue a major that interweaves aspects from both campuses so that I can acquire a more holistic interpretation and understanding of the information that I am learning.
Outside of school work, I have found a way to combine my interests in science with art by building my own computer. This incorporated my scientific knowledge of computers and how they work with my interest in creating something that could be considered a work of art.
