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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
