Some think of us as the food police, but that could not be farther from the truth!
We live, breathe, eat, sleep, study, experiment on, and learn everything there is to know about food.
Unite fellow Dietetics/Nutrition majors!
You walk into your first day of classes, see all of your friends, and you're happier than Spongebob on his first day of boating school!
LOL. Who are you kidding? There is no "syllabus week" in this major!
Off to Organic Chemistry! This shouldn't be too bad, General Chemistry was a breeze!
* Professor starts speaking about what you'll be learning this semester*
Is the professor speaking English...?
Oh well, at least your BFF is your lab partner!
Feeling' like a boss in A&P dissection lab!
That one person in your major who always sends out study guides, half of their case study, and old exams.
PS. You are a gift from God!
When you finally finish your Medical Nutrition Therapy case study.
And it's only 6am!
You thought you were done with Biochemistry, but then it comes back to haunt you in Advanced Nutrition.
Just when you rediscovered happiness again!
When you can finally breathe a sigh of relief, because your Microbiology exam is over!
Wait....
You have two more exams, a paper and a case study, due at the end of the week.
When you and your friends finally submit your DICAS applications.
.... but have to wait months to find out if you were matched.
All you do is spend your free time in the library.
Everyone thinks you eat so healthy...
Expectation:
Reality:
C'mon! We're all human!
Foodservice classes.I may not remember where my liver is, but I do know all of the benefits of a U-shaped kitchen!
When your non-dietetics friends want to hang out during the week.
Match Day.
Handing in your biochemistry lab write-ups.
When Friday finally rolls around and you can pretend for a night that you aren't a Dietetics major.
When non-science majors think their major is harder than ours.
"Nutrition is so easy though!"
Would you like to memorize the steps of gluconeogenesis or reverse glycolysis for me?
Finals week.
When you finish your last final!
Time to celebrate! You earned it!
When you get your semester grades back.
It's okay. I wasn't planning on becoming a Dietitian anyways!
I gave up my hopes and dreams when I started this major.
Oh well, at least this semester is over. Who's ready to do it all next semester?
To my fellow struggling Dietetics/Nutrition majors!
Raise your glasses (is that wine in your coffee cup?), grab your Medical Nutrition Therapy textbook, get out your Kreb Cycle flashcards, and meet you in the library.
Dietetics may be hard now, but at least we'll have a job after graduation!
