I recall the same "everything coming together" feeling, but for me it didn't happen until Applied Biochemistry in grad school.
I recall the final exam being only a single question, with a bunch of blank lined pages to write your answer, and the question was something like "You just ate a ham sandwich. What happens to it?" A good answer needed to include everything down to the molecular/chemical level and tie it together all the way up to the macro scale, and I finally felt like that class had prepared me to tell the story.
