My first official blog post! I guess I should start with the basics... My name is Melissa, and I'm currently a student pursuing a degree in chemical engineering and biological sciences. I love science...I guess you could say I find my solace there. I ended up choosing chemical engineering as my major by happenstance; I started out as a Biology major, then chemistry, and then upon participating in an engineering study abroad program I settled on chemical engineering (because everybody was doing it, man).
Religiously, I am an atheist, and no, that’s not how I’ve always been. I was raised in a Baptist home where I spent a large portion of my life being extremely religious. I truly believed in God, “felt” Him in my life, etc. I know what its like to live on the religious side (a lot of atheists are this way). I never chose to become atheist… over the course of several years I simply began to realize that I was one. That I didn’t honestly believe in what I had been taught was true anymore. A lot of things factored into that process, and maybe later I’ll delve more into it. Suffice to say, I am an atheist and I know why.
I decided to start posting my thoughts on science, religion, and atheism mostly because I tend to ponder those things the most. Out of all the things I could possibly choose to talk about, those subjects I know best. I don’t feel that my ideas are unique in anyway… put writing what one believes down always helps develop their ideas further. That’s my intent. If you’d like to join me in learning more about the world around us, I couldn’t be happier.
