12 Things No One Tells You About Being A Science Major
Complex

1) Going to sleep at 3 AM every night is the norm

2) Pulling an all-nighter is also a normal thing

3) Your blood essentially becomes Ramen noodle soup because you eat so much of it (there is no time to go to the dining hall, that’s time saved is precious study time)


4) You think every science joke is funny (even when it’s not)

5) You can go up to three or four days without leaving your room

6) Your non-science major friends have no idea what you’re talking about when you geek out about your work


7) Why is every textbook $200+


8) You’ll be absolutely ecstatic when you get a 70 on your chemistry exam

9) You cry every day because of stress—stress over classes, homework, exams, lab reports, internship applications, etc.

10) 15-page lab reports are a thing


11) Falling asleep in class is the easiest thing to do

12) You think about changing your major to something with no science at all crosses your mind at least 7 times a day

But at the end of the day, there is no other major that I would want to have.

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.

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.
