Newbie!!!

Hello all! My name is Eleni and I was born in Athens, Greece. I am currently a sophomore in college studying engineering and physics in New York City. Through this blog, I hope to share my experiences of balancing NYC bills, earning good marks in school, and somehow still having a social life. I also want to share my own experiences on how to search for scholarship and internship opportunities as well as talk about my own research in the field of atomic physics! (my mentor's paper can be found here for anyone who is interested! https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.79.053607) All in all, I have found that the college experience is difficult without guidance, and have learned a lot of ways to "cheat the system" throughout my personal journey. I hope to share some of this knowledge with other students facing difficulty balancing their everyday lives and education, as well as hopefully connect with others in my field!
