11 Stages Of Life As A Biology Major

The decision to be a Biology major anywhere, especially at the University of North Georgia, is a decision that must be thought through with immense care. While you can change your major, you can't change the torture that you endure while you're in it. Of course, while studying, you might spend a fair amount of time watching TV. Here's 11 ways The Office accurately portrays being a Biology major:

1. You spend more time in HNS than with your friends.




The Health and Natural Sciences building has basically become your second home. You're there way before lecture and labs, during lecture and labs, and way after lecture and labs. You might as well just grab an air mattress and sleep in the Planetarium.

2. ...And all of your friends give you grief for it.

They don't understand. They'll never understand (unless they're Biology majors, too).


3. You have little to no tolerance for those students who say, "It's just Biology. You should know it.


Just...leave.


4. At least 60% of your everyday conversations involve this week's newest lesson

Your friends are sick of it. Your parents are sick of it. Heck, even YOU'RE sick of it. You just can't help that you have an immense amount of knowledge that you have no clue what to do with.

5. You have absolutely NO time to spend with your significant other

" Netflix and Chill?" You mean "HNS and Cry??" Sorry, hun, I have an exam to study for.


6. You relish in that rare* moment when you actually pass a lecture exam

*Key word, RARE


7. ...and then the professor says there's another exam next week...


8. ...so you just accept your inevitable death.

Then again, registering for this class was basically you signing your own death sentence.


9. You’ve seriously contemplated switching classes/majors/universities/states/countries to get out of being a biology major


McDonalds is always hiring, you know.

10. Yet at the end of the day, the only thing going through your mind is this:


11. But hey, you know what? who cares?! You’re a Biology major and you rock. Keep on doing you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
