Abstract
As far as nontraditional theses go, I think my project qualifies for that category. Writing poetry, converting the poems to binary, then knitting that binary (0 being a knit stitch and 1 being a purl stitch) into a scarf—that is certainly far from the work I have been doing for my experimental track psychology degree. The idea came from me wanting to find something that wasn’t entirely based in my major’s academics; I wanted my thesis to be more eclectic, like the honors classes I have taken—Food and Film and the End of the World, Harry Potter and Fashion and Print, A Dark and Stormy Night and Cryptography. The honors program here has helped me expand my interests outside my major in ways that made it really fun to learn.
