If you're in any sort of science major in college, there are a few things that bind us all together. Besides our tendency to never be home or have free time on our hands, there are some phrases and moods that we just can't help but identify with. I realize that each section of the science category probably has its own versions of these, but overall, they're pretty same across the board. Whether we be future pharmacists, engineers, chemists, or one of the many other options, these things make us one. Hopefully the truth of these statements can give you a laugh or two before you have to go back to studying.

1. "I can't, I have lab."

Not to be confused with voluntary participation in a research lab, just about every science major has at least one lab every semester. Why is lab so bad? You try spending three extra hours of your week in a room full of chemicals that you’re not 100% sure you should be handling and get back to me. *cough cough* Organic Chemistry

2. Why are plants always in prison? Because their cells have walls :)

SCIENCE PUNS. The way to my heart is science puns, end of story.

3. “My life is falling apart one carbon-carbon bond at a time”

Again, one of the many ways organic chemistry has led me to my wit’s end

4. "Want to know a cool science fact?”

Usually when you ask this question, it’s followed by a hard no. Thank god for your friends that love you enough to listen to things they care nothing about just because it makes you happy (Thanks Maggie).

5. The look of utter confusion when you start complaining about school.

This is an open apology to my friends when I complain about the rates of paralysis in my worms.

6. "I’m fine" *is not fine at all*

Ross Geller was never more correct in describing my life than we he pulled the fajitas out of the oven with no oven-mitts on and smiled through the pain.

7. Getting annoyed when a non-science major complains … about anything

We science people realize that the lives of you non-science people are hard ... Sometimes it’s just hard believing that your life is harder than ours. It’s all with love though -- combined with a superiority complex and a sprinkling of anxiety.

8. Saying a really complicated sentence and knowing what everything means

This is the best feeling in the world

9. Saying a really complicated sentence and having no idea what you just said

Conversely, this is the worst feeling in the world.

10. Getting medical questions because your family assumes that even though you aren’t a doctor yet, you probably still know everything a doctor knows

I love my family, but I’m not a doctor yet. My educated guess is only slightly better than your search on WebMD.

11. Your schedule makes other people cry, but at this point you’re just numb to it

My friend Morgan just showed some of our sorority sisters a copy of her schedule. They gasped in awe and asked if she was alright. I simply nodded my head in understanding.

12. Because your classes aren’t challenging enough, let’s get involved with more things to make sure we REALLY kill ourselves

Every time I join a club or take another position, my friends assume that I just really don’t want to sleep anymore. It has less to do with that, and more to do with the fact that I have problems NOT doing everything.
