Today I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in the Biological Sciences, a B.A. in Physics/Astronomy, and a minor in Chemistry. Although my final grades haven’t been posted yet, it appears I will be graduating Phi Beta Kappa with high honors. Normally, I don’t post about personal events on my blog, but since this pertains to my career and everyone is always so nice, I thought it might be nice to post about it here. 🙂
Over 8000 students graduated today. The ceremony was great: Dan Marino, a Class of ’83 Pitt alum, gave the graduation address, and was awarded with an honorary doctorate. I’m a pretty big football fan, so I was pretty stoked. His speech emphasized not only the importance of hard work, but also family, which I thought was really touching. I enjoyed the whole process.
I’m pretty excited to be done with undergrad and am ready to embark on the next stage of my life, medical school! 🙂
