1 Month at the University of Pennsylvania Update + Important Announcement!!

In light of the current college application season, I will be editing college essays for free (no strings attached!). If you want me to edit your essays, please let me know in the comment section below, and I'll reach out to you as to where to send your essays. Do not use the 'Contact' tab on the home page to contact me because it is currently not working. Like I said before, the best way to contact me is by commenting on this post. 

I am a current freshman at the University of Pennsylvania (completely done with my college applications), and all essays will be deleted from my device after I finish editing them. Therefore, you do not need to worry about whether or not your essays will be plagiarized or used without your consent. I sincerely want to help you as much as I possibly could as you work on your college applications. 

All the best!

Wow! I can't believe it has already been one month since I started classes at college. Despite the fact that I'm at home, interacting with my teachers and classmates behind a computer, I've been holding up pretty well. I know some of you have questions about my current experience in college, and I'm here to answer them for you. 

What classes are you taking?

This semester, my classes only consist of general education requirements and premed requirements. Next semester, or next fall, I plan to start my major requirements. At Penn, freshmen at the College of Arts and Sciences (one of Penn's four undergraduate schools) are required to take a maximum of 4.5 credits for this fall semester. So currently, I am taking a Calculus I class, a Medieval English class, an Elementary Korean I class, and a General Chemistry I (+ lab). Each class is 1 credit, while the lab is 0.5 credits.

How am I really doing right now?

I'm actually doing really well. A few days ago, I got my first chemistry test results and actually scored within the top percentile of my class! God is good!

Where is the direction of this blog going?

I honestly don't know, but I do plan on updating you on my experiences at Penn. And since it is college application season for current high school students, I plan on posting general and financial aid application advice, so stay tuned! If you have any specific topic concerning UPenn or applying to college in general, please let me know. 

Until then, hope you all have a great day or night!

      I just finished my sophomore year at Penn in-person. Maybe I should put out an update on the blog?

The Day I Wanted to Pursue a Medical Career...

Some found out the career they wanted to pursue at a young age, while others found out later. Today, I'm going to share my story of how I found out that I wanted to have a career in medicine... As a young girl, I dreamed of having different jobs. I wanted to be a chef, an inventor, a missionary, a pastor, an artist, a teacher... the list went on!!! But as I got older, I found out that I didn't want to pursue most of the careers I dreamed of having as a young girl.  During 8th grade, while we were taking Physical Science, I decided that I wanted to become a physicist. I did like physical science (especially when we learned about space and the theories of time travelling), but I had a weird feeling that I didn't really want to be a physicist.  When ...
