Three finals down and one to go. The biochem exam was today. I did pretty well I think, at least above the 40% I needed to pass the course. So that's over. Two weeks ago I applied for to a biochemist position at X Laboratories. We shall see how that works out.
School has been great. I learned a bunch of cool stuff and made a bunch of friends. Now the reality of the real world is setting back in. Bills and the whole worry about money. Hopefully I can get a decent job so that doesn't continue to be much of an issue.
Being a college student taught me some good lessons in frugility. I don't need to buy a bunch of stuff to be happy. I can pack lunch instead of buying it all the time. Basically, I can do without a lot of stuff. That's a freeing realization. Unfortunately there's always the "necessary" stuff like cars, phones, and nice clothes. You can't live without money very well in society, but you don't have to give into all the consumerism hype.
