Senioritis is an Opinion column written by one or two Stevens student(s) in their last year of study to discuss life experiences during their final year at Stevens, and other related subject matter.

Self-justifying hard work with breaks

This weekend, I ended up doing very little substantive work on class assignments or other tasks I had on my to-do list.

STEM students, appreciate your humanities!

When I was a first-year student, I was so excited to begin my biomedical engineering curriculum at Stevens. The idea of planning my own schedule and taking many medically specialized courses excited me.

Reflecting on winter break

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home.”

The app sampler, pt. II: and now I wait

This past Saturday, I hit the submit button on all my applications for Ph.D. programs in mathematics. I ended up applying to five schools, which was narrowed down from the 10 or so schools I had on the shortlist for much of the fall semester.

Burnt out?

It’s about that time of year again. Students are back from a Thanksgiving holiday that gave them a taste of what it felt like not to focus on school every hour.

What are we thankful for?

It’s weird. Isn’t it? We are more than halfway through the 2022 Fall semester and it’s nearing Thanksgiving. Yes, I understand there are a plethora of projects and exams still to come for many of us; however, we are getting closer to another semester in the books (for first-years, one down, seven to go).

Getting on stage again

Yesterday will have marked my first time performing in an in-person Stevens Dramatic Society (SDS) show since my first year. It’s been a wild ride in between, with several virtual productions, and work last year as President and Producer for SDS.

What’s spookier: graduation or staying another year in school?

It’s Halloween already. Every day blends together, and this semester is going faster with ample stress on our shoulders. It is going fast enough that we are already a quarter of the way through the academic year, with seniors’ uncertain future approaching.

The app sampler

I go back and forth on whether appetizer samplers are worthwhile at restaurants. On the one hand, it’s great having multiple apps to choose from to get a sense of what you like best.
