When you’re around 17 or 18 years old, you are given the task to choose what you want to do with your life. If you pick business and then after 4 years old college you realize you hate social situations and you don’t want to carry around a computer and talk numbers, then that might be a problem for you. This is scary to think about. For me there was nothing harder than picking my major. I had so many things that I wanted to do when I was younger that when I finally got to choosing, I couldn’t pick. I was torn between like three very different career paths because they all amazed me. This is something that many high school seniors, and undergraduates in college worry about. So if you are a biology major or considering it, here are some pros and cons as told by Grey's Anatomy that you probably understand.

Pro: You are always learning new things because science is always changing.

Con: Having a Friday off is usually impossible.

Con: There’s a good chance that your free time will be non-existent.

Pro: You can literally do anything with a biology background. (ex: health care, criminal justice, law)

Con: Labs are 2-3 hours long, you have to write a million lab reports, but the class is usually only 1 credit so all your hard work barely counts for anything.

Con: If you're pre-med, there's a good chance people will ask you medical questions, but you're still an undergrad so you have no idea what to tell them.

Con: You’re always in the science building because that’s were all your classes are.

Pro: You’re always in the science building because that’s were all your friends are.

Con: You may realize you hate general biology, but it’s okay, everyone does.

Con: Your science and math tests sometimes fall on the same day… and you will think that it’s time to quit.

Pro: All bio majors are willing to help you out when your struggling, because they understand.

Con: You may be up all night studying, but that's what coffee is for.

Con: You constantly think about switching your major, hoping for a break, but you know you can’t because that means all your hard work and money were wasted.

Pro: Even though there’s a lot of cons, you’ll be a bio major anyway, because we never back down from a challenge.

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:

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.
