We biology majors never really know what we're getting into when we declare our major. We've heard the horror stories of organic chemistry, and we've heard the stats of people who start as biology majors compared to the amount of people who actually become doctors. But, for some reason, we decided to give it our best shot and aim high, despite the tiring future that lies ahead. No one outside the realm of the sciences really understands how or why we do it. But, the folks on Grey's Anatomy just seem to get it.

1. The confusion that is your first day of organic chemistry.

Let's be honest--not a single person knows what the professor is talking about half the time.

2. When your friends ask if you want to go out after an all-nighter.

The answer is yes, I do want to go do something fun, but no, I can't, because I haven't slept in twenty-four hours.

3. When you look around at your classmates right before the professor hands out the exam.

Truth be told, sometimes no amount of studying can prepare us for some of the exams we take. But, at least we're not alone in that.

4.Trying to justify that really low grade to yourself.

We are our own worst critics. But, bad grades happen. We let it go, and move on to the next exam.

5. When your professor asks how you think the exam went.

Most of the time the exams do go well, but always at the expense of rest and happiness.

6. When you get the exam back and you actually nailed it.

Ah yes, there is the pride-filled joy that comes when you actually aced a test that you thought went terribly wrong.

7. Thinking about why you are putting yourself through hell during college.

Yes, the pre-medicine track is a rough path to take in college. It's rigorous and painful at times, but when we sit back and think about one day (like a decade from now) putting on that white coat in the mornings and helping people, every failed exam and every all-nighter is so worth it.
