6 Careers Public Health Majors Can Get
Nutrigi

I have been a public health major for almost four years now, and I get the same question pretty often.

"So what can you do with that?"

Honestly please keep asking me because I still have no idea. I've looked into it a few times, and some things sound appealing, and some sound like things I'd have no idea what to do in. So in light of midterm week coming up, and my constant thoughts of dropping out increasing, I thought I'd make this list as some sort of motivation.


1. Health and Safety Engineer

Health and Safety Engineers work primarily in scientific and technical services, but are also employed in construction and with the government. Anything with engineer in the title is not gonna work for me. This will not be my job of choice. Next.

2. Environmental Scientist

Environmental Scientists protect both environmental and human health. Many do this through land reclamation after pollution or developing regulations the restrict air and soil pollution. Environmental Scientists do this through data collection, plan development, and sharing information with the government, business or the public. I would look into this, I'm totally into ~health.~

3. Health Care Administrator

A Healthcare Administrator supports a clinic, department or group of physicians by directing and coordination health services. The main goal of a Healthcare Administrator is to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services. Totally into this..I'm all about being the boss.

4/5. Biostatistician and Epidemiologist

I am currently taking both biostats and epidemiology. Neither are happening. Both hurt my soul.

6. Nutritionist

This I'm so into its not even funny. A nutritionistis a person who advises on matters of food and nutrition impacts on health. Hello future career!!

Public health majors rejoice. We are important, and we, too can save the day sometimes. Maybe I wont drop out...yet.

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.
