As a science major, you know college can be frustrating and difficult in ways that may be different to your peers. Every major comes with stress, hard work, and people telling you that they would hate their life if they had the same major as you. To a certain extent, science majors are like Dwight Schrute. Sometimes, I sit in class thinking I'm morphing into him and that I need to get my health in check.

1. When taking Ecology & Evolution makes you realize people's real motives.

We can't help it, every time we learn a new fact about why we do something, we over-analyze everyone and everything.

2. When you're in lab with no self confidence and question everything.

Idiot

If this is not you at some point during lab, props to you because lab makes a lot of us feel dumb as a brick.

3. You're in a study group trying to learn and the smartest kid in the class won't let you speak.

We all know the kid. They're hand is always raised.

4. When you learn a fancy sounding, science-y word and you can't stop using it.

When we're forced to say "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" in lab instead of "yeast."

5. When you prepare a wet mount and the slide cover goes on with no air bubbles.

Name a better feeling. I'll wait.

6. That day when you can't stop telling everyone the fun fact you just learned.

Coral reefs are healthy because of fish pee.

7. When you thought you failed the test but you just passed.

Need I say more?

8. When the professor does a horrible job explaining something and asks if everyone gets it.

There always has to be one professor like that per semester.

9. When you walk into the class that you know is going to be your hardest.


Chemistry................

10. Walking into the room on exam day.

Will I come out alive? Nobody knows.

11. When your best friend is also your lab partner and you gave your final presentation 6 days ago...

Worst part is the discussion afterwards. I just got a flashback.

12. After your take your first Environment Science class.

I am now one with the Earth. She is my child, I will nurture and care for her.

13. And finally, when you get check your final grade and you see that you passed!!


This feeling is almost better than pipetting. Almost.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
