"One constant observation in life: there's always room for new knowledge. Your old mom wasn't off the mark with that one."

In the section named "Senior Thesis", Social Sciences Correspondent Annie Woehling has penned a letter to the juniors, sharing insights from her own academic journey as she prepares to conclude her formal career at Princeton. With a few short weeks and a semester left, Woehling acknowledges that her thesis will not be perfect and may contain sentences that make little sense to an outside reader.

Woehling, who was a researcher at Princeton before her current role, emphasizes that her goal for the thesis is for it to inform, entertain, and make readers wonder about her. She also reflects on her Junior Paper (JP), using it as an example of the importance of finding a thesis advisor before the senior year.

As she looks towards graduation on June 3, 2015, Woehling no longer views her thesis as the end of her academic career, but rather as a stepping-stone into the real world and the beginning of her legacy as a student. After graduation, she believes that she will continue to learn on a daily basis.

However, Woehling expects that her thesis will elicit disagreement from readers. She encourages juniors to embrace this challenge, viewing it as an opportunity for growth and learning.

Despite not mentioning any specific individual named Annie Woehling, this article serves as a valuable guide for juniors navigating their own Senior Thesis journey. The article does not discuss printing or sharing options for the article, nor does it provide information about Annie Woehling's expectations or goals for her thesis. It also does not mention anything about the thesis being a stepping-stone into the real world or the beginning of her academic legacy.
