Abstract	We report on a research study conducted within a transition-to-proof course for mathematics majors at a large public university. Within the course, students explored famously unproven conjectures and reflected on how their perspectives of mathematics changed through this exploration (if at all). In this report we share students' takeaways from the project. For instance, some students experienced mathematics as a creative subject for the first time, as they tried their own methods to solve the conjectures; other students reflected on developing a greater understanding of the behind the scenes work of mathematicians that goes into mathematical creation. We also report on the subjective emotional experiences of the students, which ranged from frustration from being unable to find patterns to enjoyable exploration.
