Life As  A Biology Major As Told By "Friends"

So no one told you life was going to be this way. Or maybe they did or you've heard what your life will consist of as a biology major. Biology is a great major. It has so many career opportunities, but it is not easy. Three hour labs, countless reports and presentations, impossible exams, never ending material, etc. The life of a bio major is a hard one. Whether you're a current bio major, already earned your degree in bio or have an interest in it, this article is for you! Here is the life of a bio major as told by the cast of "Friends":

1. When Lab Gets Out Early.

Labs take a good chunk of your day out. Each lab is at least three hours long and you work from start to finish. Some labs are fun, but others are equal to death. It's like a Christmas gift when your lab professor lets you out early.

2. Reading Your Textbook and Scientific Journals.

Are these words even English? Cyanobacterium, Dendrochronology, Eutrophication, etc. If you are a non-science major, than you probably did not even know that these words exist. Your textbook and scientific journals might as well be in another language because you can't understand them even when they are in English.

3. When Your Friends In Other Majors Complain.

Now, I'm not saying that other majors are not challenging, but when your friend is complaining that they have a single test when you have a lab report, test on four chapters and online assignments to do, it does get a little annoying.

4. When You Study All Night and Still Fail Your Exam.

This is the worst feeling ever. Especially when your whole grade is riding on this one test score. Medical school will still accept you if you fail one exam right? It's even worse when the whole class fails and the professor does not curve it.

5. Organic Chemistry.

Enough said. Organic Chemistry: the one course every biology dreads to take.

6. Receiving Your Biology Degree.

This is the moment you have been waiting for since your first day of freshman year. All the lab hours, school work, tears and everything else has finally paid off. Now your future has no limits. Whether you want to go to medical school or work in a lab, you can do anything you set your mind to.

Biology is a hard but rewarding major. We complain about it more often than not, but we would not change it for the world. If we didn't love bio, than none of us would be bio majors. Biology is one of the best majors there is offered and I would not give it up for anything. Especially chemistry. Remember: Keep Calm and Love Biology.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
