C.M.S. Medical Training Center

As a science major, we all have heard countless times about how crazy we are for pursuing such a difficult major. People are always asking how us how we balance everything in life while maintaining a good GPA. Truth is, we sacrifice a lot... In the name of science, of course. If you are a science major, here are 11 things you can definitely relate to:

1. When you hear a professor say a final exam is cumulative, you instantly start screaming internally.

No matter how many breakdowns we may experience, how many parties we may miss, or how many doubts we may have, we all are the future of science. We choose science because that's what we love. Our lives might be a little more hectic than our friends, but that's okay. It's not easy, but it's worth it! Enjoy the fact that your major makes everyone cringe, it just proves exactly how awesome you are!!

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York.
