Being A Science Major, As Told By 'New Girl'

It's definitely not easy to describe, but New Girl makes it easier.

Being A Science Major, As Told By 'New Girl'

The world of science majors in a very interesting domain, one that's treated like an exclusive clique. Every science major has a similar attitude: you don't understand unless you're going through the science struggles. I, being a science major, understand the pain and suffering of this world. So without further ado, here is a run-down of what being a science major is like... as told by the show "New Girl."

1. When you accidentally happen upon an amazing lab partner.

A lot of lab partners just aren't that great -- so when you stumble upon what seems to be the holy grail of all lab partners, you cling on. And you don't let go.

2. When your 20-page lab report is due by midnight and you really don't even know what the lab was about.

Oh, and did I mention the lab report is 30 percent of your final lab grade? This pressure drives science majors to insanity and being lost about the general theme of the lab definitely doesn't help matters.

3. When anyone, ever, tries to relate to you when you're stressed.

And I mean other science majors, too. In our time of stress, no one is allowed to compare to us.

4. When you actually leave the library for once, but your list of responsibilities is still looming over you.

When a science major stops studying, they don't feel refreshed or on top of things -- they feel guilty. Because there is always more to do and more to study, but college is meant to be enjoyed as well.

5. When you come out of a four hour lab and you're experiencing a lot of emotions.

You're obviously hungry, you're angry that your lab took that long and you have to sigh and accept that you get to go through it all next week.

6. Leaving your professor's office hours even more confused than you were.

A general rule of thumb for science professors is that they're way too smart for their own good. When you let them start to ramble about their area of expertise, it most definitely does not lead to you understanding what you actually need to know for the exam.

7. And lastly, identifying the genius person in your class so that you can beg them to help you.

Science majors have next to no pride or dignity in their difficult classes. If you're a pro on the material, odds are students are going to be flocking to you for help -- we just don't have the pride to be competitive. We are way too tired to keep up the charade of understanding everything.

Overall, being a science major in college is a wild experience, but an incredibly rewarding one. Cheers to everyone who goes through the misery, we can all be in emotionally compromising situation together!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
