Hello everyone!
My name is Alex, and I am happy to be joining the Steemit community! A good friend of mine told me about all of the positive and interesting stories that are shared on here and I knew that I wanted to contribute. So here I am!
That photo was taken before my first day of attending university here in San Diego. I study Biochemistry and am constantly fascinated with things on the micro scale.
Speaking of which, I always am humbled by how much can be observed through a microscope. It really makes me pause and think about how intricate life is. Here are some of my favorite photos taken in a few of my classes:
The first two images are of Lactobacillus bacteria that I cultured for a Biology class, and the third one is of a root cap from a plant we grew throughout the term. As I mentioned, I am happiest while learning about tiny things, and that interest extends into nature as well! I love collecting mushrooms from forests and trying to identify them. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from a scavenge back in January.
Aren't they beautiful?!
I also spend most of my time studying in a space ship. Here is my campus library!
My school is my life right now, and I have been fortunate enough to make a few friends through an on campus job that I secured last term.
They definitely help me pull through tough times when studies become a bit overwhelming.
Yoga also helps with de-stressing and I volunteer at a studio for trade!
I have a soft spot in my heart for cats and dogs as well. Here is my baby Kiba.
He doesn't let me study!
My dad's pit:
I've been thinking about how I want to contribute to this community, and I think that I would enjoy making a Science series centered around chemistry. I love spreading new ideas and findings from this area, so any input would be welcome!
If you have made it this far, thank you for taking a minute to catch a glimpse of my life. At times, studies can be overwhelming, but balancing stress with positivity is a great way to stay healthy.
See you around!
-Battlr
Nice to see you on steemit :D
Have a great day.

Welcome to the community Alex! Gorgeous photos by the way :) I operate a rescue home for severely abused and burned pets, I wrote an into article about it a few days ago <3
Steemit is a wonderfully supportive and encouraging community, you will enjoy it here :) I know what it's like to be the new kid, so I am here to tell you I will sit with you at lunch ;) I post a lot of "Minnow" support and tips for newbies, so please feel free to check out my older posts, and if you have any questions please ask :)
Great to have you join! I look forward to reading your posts :)

Hello friend! Thank you for the warm welcome!
It makes my heart happy to hear that you are helping the hurt little ones! Glad that there are people like you in the world.
I am already getting the vibe that this community is amazing. I am overwhelmed with the positivity and support.
I have no clue what Minnow is, I will look into it. If you wanna give me a TLDR that would be neat too!
Followed! <3

So there's Minnow, Dolphins, and Whales. All new kids are considered minnows- we're small fish in the big Steemit sea. Whales are the top of the Steemit food chain- one Whale upvote on your post can give you hundreds of dollars. A Dolphin is in the middle.
Are you registered on DiscordApp chat yet? If not, do so immediately. There are plenty of chat rooms in Discord for any niche- there's radio, a fiction workshop, and many niche specific projects, you can promote your posts and get to know fellow Steemians and find followers, and there is a ton of help- PAL room, or Peace Abundance and Liberty is the best place to start. Lots of cool cats to provide minnow support :)
Steemit Chat is another chat room, but once you go Discord you won't go back- yes, it's that good :)
Get started with Discord- I don't want to overwhelm you, there's a lot you will soon come to realize! And we can go from there :)

Hey! I'm new to Steemit as well! Loved reading your intro! I heard about that amazing library but I haven't had a chance to see it in person yet. That's cool you're studying biochemistry!

Welcome to the both of us then! I upvoted your intro! You got some rad pictures on there as well!
I would definitely recommend seeing the library at some point, it is amazing. It was constructed by William Pereira, who is famous for constructing the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco. The library is named after Theodore S. Geisel, who you have heard of. The S stands for Seuss! He was a San Diego local and would brainstorm for his books on campus!
Followed as well!
