Proudest Moments (chronologically)

Being recognized by my first grade teacher when she realized I was bored of just growing a plant, and listening in fascination when she explained photosynthesis to little 6 year old me, contributing to the earliest foundations of my interest in science

Calling out the judges of the fourth grade spelling bee and continuing to become runner up

Starting Childhood Cancer Notes

Not dying freshman year

Getting a 91 on the bio regents while actively having a full-on “get-her-a-paper-bag-ASAP panic attack

Graduating from anxiety treatment

Having an article published in a newspaper about my work with pediatric cancer patients

Advocating for myself and making the enormous step to stop seeing my father

Getting a 97 on the chem regents

Writing a poem about DDT which has since been widely circulated on the internet

Making a wet mount slide without air bubbles- ONCE!

Successfully explaining the concept of tonicity to a ten year old

Celebrating the one year anniversary of my graduation from anxiety treatment, laughing and loving life, in awe of how much had changed

Being asked how old I was after talking to someone for less than two minutes, responding that I was 16, and being told “You’re going to be president someday.”

if you see this post try to do any of these right now

drink a glass of water

put on chapstick/lip balm

clip/file/paint your nails

take three deep breaths

put on fuzzy/comfortable pants

say something outloud that you’ve been thinking

look up pictures of dogs or cats (or any animal you like basically)

walk around your house

go outside (if you can) and look for plants/flowers

take pictures of said plants/flowers

stretch your arms

if you’re sad try to smile as big as you can and take a picture of it

cheer up

it will be okay

I've been playing too much Biology QuizUp...

Recently, I’ve gotten into the habit of shouting out the correct answer to each question when I’m with my friends. This can appear quite ridiculous out of context, because the interjections have included-

~“The prostate gland gives semen its alkalinity!” ~“In the 3’ direction!" ~Schwann Cells help form the Myelin Sheath ~"Sodium Cyanide!” ~“Earwax!” ~Plasmodesmata (when in doubt this is always the correct answer) ~“Trick question- erythrocytes don’t have nuclei!” ~Barbara McClintock

So yeah, it’s been a strange 3 weeks…

Nighttime featuring my *special* Family

Preface-my mom was sitting in a chair in her room, and I somehow wound up lying on her bed, on the side she likes to sleep on.

Mom- "I'm going to sleep."

Arielle- "That was a statement."

Mom-"I want you to move so I can sleep."

Arielle- "That was subjunctive."

Mom- "Get the fuck out of my bed!"

Arielle- "That was an imperative."

Arielle- *runs away before she can become too angry*

My Latin teacher doesn’t play games. Just picture a small, eccentric, bald guy trying as hard as he possibly can to seem intimidating. “Sī ignotam tabulam in manū tuā videō, tē igniō!”
