11 Things Science Majors Know To Be True

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.

Enjoy the fact that your major makes everyone cringe, it just proves exactly how awesome you are!!
