My ML model finished training right after I finished this post by Jenny B. '25

Junior year was a milestone for me because it was the first time where I actually got to work with machine learning models. I just got some code to run on my computer for my UROP project this summer, which is exciting! If I time-travelled back to sixth grade and told myself that I would be doing this kind of stuff in college, she would be excited and (hopefully) proud of me.

But, it’s definitely not what she would’ve imagined it would be like.

clarification: this is a scientist who just got their eyes dilated by an optometrist which is why they’re wearing sunglasses

This is what it’s actually been like for the most part.
