20 Struggles Every Science Major Knows

Being a neuroscience and psychology double major, these are some of the struggles that most science majors and I go through.

If you're a science major, I guarantee that you've gone through all of these hassles at least once.

1) "I can't. I have lab."

2) Having to write lab reports

When the lab report is due at 11:59AM and it's 11:00AM

3) Two words: Lab Goggles

Lab goggles become your life, and you always have them in your backpack.

4) When your lab goggles fog up

5) Studying for an exam and failing it

Will there be a curve?

6) Getting a 32% on an exam, but the curve hits and your final score is an 88%

7) "The final will be cumulative."

8) Significant Figures suck

9) Confusing diagrams/pictures

10) Applying to graduate schools

Where are all my Pre-Meds/Pre-Dental/Pre-Vets?

11) Mastering Bio, Chem, etc. is insanely annoying

12) Spending all weekend doing research

13) When your percent error is unfortunately high so you have to redo the experiment

14) Considering switching to a non-science major after taking an exam

Then, you realize that you love science way too much to switch.

15) Professors begin teaching on the very first day of class

What happened to syllabus week????

16) Having two lab reports and three exams all in one week

17) Running out of coffee

18) Having more than two labs in a semester

19) Choosing a lab partner

20) Trying to remember all the symbols and formulas

Sure, we science majors go through these struggles, but we persevere. We love science way to much to give-up. Science isn't just a field of study. It's a way of life.

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.
