Being a WAGSFP fellow has been a great experience. For me, the best part of the program was having the opportunity to meet my research mentor and having access to all the resources that UROP has available. It has been really neat to somewhat get to know the other WAGSFP fellows. Since everyone has varying…

WAGSFP Testimonial
My summer with the WAGSFP has been a great experience for me. While I’ve been involved in research for the past two years, having a summer where I was able to work one-on-one with my mentor and grow my own research abilities has been invaluable. I’ve also been given access to others who can help…
Blazing summer, cold coffee
This summer would not have been possible without the help of caffeine. That’s why I chose the song “Coffee” by Sylvan Esso. (I really like Sylvan Esso, it’s kind of this experimental electronic indie pop band.) I have definitely overextended my energies a little bit this summer. But I lived, it worked out just fine,…
Song of the Summer
So for my song of the summer, I chose Float On by Modest Mouse which is one of my classic pick-me-up songs. This summer has honestly been one of the best, and this song has been especially useful for whenever I’m stressing myself out over the future. No matter how stressed I get, it’s important…
GOD IS A WOMAN
The reason why I picked this song is because I we are the Women and Gender summer Fellowship Program, so you could say we are doing the Lord’s work. While I mainly posted this song because I LOVE IT, it is quickly going to rise as a feminist anthem. It has received mild controversy, mainly…
Blog Post 9: Part Dos – the Testimonial
WAGSFP was such a fantastic program overall, especially with getting a chance to work more independently on my research project, prepping it up to make it into my thesis over senior year, and meeting other fellows over the two months we spent together (and their own co-workers/mentors in WAGSFP Lunch). My favorite part of WAGSFP…
Blog Post 9: The Song of my (WAGSFP) Life
So in terms of the song I chose, whenever I worked on my project and tried to analyze survey results (or completed medical applications outside of that) , I tended to do this while listening to music. I don’t normally listen to music with a lot of lyrics while working cause I find that the…
A song wherein almost every lyric is relevant (9A)
I feel that the following song sums up my experience in this fellowship quite well. [su_youtube_advanced url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFwEcRqHJnA” rel=”no”] I realize it sounds silly and cliché, but hear my out as I add some (unnecessary?) interpretation. First of all, I am really tired. I get up early, go to bed late, and I work a lot.…
WAGSFP: Testimonial
WAGSFP was, overall, a great experience for me. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to get to conduct my own research project on my own research interests, and to get paid to do it. I loved the independence that the program provided, and my cohort was a lovely group of people. Not only having…
I get by with a little help from my friends
I chose “With a Little Help from my Friends” because it lightheartedly portrays my struggles this summer and how I made it through. Lines like “How do I feel by the end of the day?/Are you sad because you’re on your own?” reflect my frustrations at times with being so independent with my project. But,…
