It is hard to believe that yet another semester has come and gone. This semester entailed lots of memories, challenging classes, and Purdue sports. The classes I decided to take this semester were unlike any of the classes I had previously taken. I took entomology 206 and 207, a lecture course (206) and a lab (207). This class challenged me, as I did not know anything about insects. At the beginning of the course, I thought there was no way I was going to be able to understand all the material, but I truly learned numerous things. The lab focused a lot on large grasshoppers, so we got to dissect them and learn about all the systems of the insect’s body. This class provided me with a new perspective on insects going into my career. I also was in a weed science course this fall (BTNY 304). I enjoyed this class, as there was a lot of practical and situational-based learning for weed management practices. In the lab section of this course, we were quizzed weekly on different weed species and identifying them. I enjoyed this part of the class since it helped me to learn how to identify weeds and then I can later apply that in my career. I also took an upper-level communications course this fall, which was COM 256, an introduction to advertising course. The professor for this course made the class entertaining and interesting since she was a past news anchor with lots of experience. This semester I went to a lot of Purdue volleyball games, which was so much fun! I definitely recommend going to the volleyball games and being a part of the block party as a student. There were so many great memories this semester especially those that involved the agronomy club and agronomy ambassadors. I love being a part of the ambassador program, and agronomy club since I have made so many of my friends within the agronomy department. It has been a great semester, and I am looking forward to the spring semester of my junior year!
