Here is my day in the life post in the form of a vlog that took me 50004593458034809234 hours to put together….

Here are some suggestions on how to write an effective blog:
– This is not an essay or scientific paper! Use first person, contractions- your own personal voice. While you want to use proper spelling and grammar, don’t feel like you need to confine yourself to the standard essay format you’re used to in other classes.
– Use links. If you reference an interesting magazine article, link it in your blog. If you want to show a relevant youtube clip, go ahead and include it in your post. http://writetodone.com/new-style-blog-writing/
– Use pictures when relevant. They make your post more visually appealing and interesting to read.
– If you prefer to create a podcast or video, feel free to do so. If you have any really creative ideas you want to try, let me know and we can discuss it.
– Please be respectful in your posts and comments. Do not use any offensive or derogatory language.
– While there is no word count for written blog posts, please make sure your posts are insightful and contain all the necessary information. For those of you who aren’t sure where to start, 250-500 words is a good range to follow.
– The target audience is you prior to taking this course

New Amira, Same Ol’ Mistakes
One song to describe my summer? Even though a simple request, how could one song really capture my entire summer? Shuffling through my iTunes library though, I came across an old favorite: “Same Ol’ Mistakes” by Rihanna. Rihanna’s version is actually a cover of Tame Impala’s “New Person, Same Ol’ Mistakes,” and I feel like…
Testimonial
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.…
