Life At Princeton

A few weeks ago, I stayed with my sister at Princeton University. At Princeton you can't help but be inspired to learn. The students, the architecture, and especially the professors make a perfect learning environment. At Princeton I listened to lectures about Neuroscience, Psychology, and Organic Chemistry. Although I didn't fully understand the Organic Chemistry lecture, I could still mostly follow the lecture and the material the students learn is great! Still, taking neat notes in chemistry is challenging and I have no idea how my sister does it. At Princeton, I also watched my sister do a Chemistry Lab, and I swear it is just like watching someone do potions in Harry Potter. You have to get your prodect and mix it in with Hexans two times, making sure you release the pressure so your contianer doesn't explode, Then you have to make sure you get the hexans out, but keep your product. You have to cool your product, heat your product, even measure the acidity level of your product. I can't say life at Princeton isn't hard, but it certainly is pretty amazing. No wonder why Princeton is one of the most liked schools in America.
