Ah, the major that stirs up all of the best questions. What can you do with that degree? Are there any job openings for you? Would you be a health SCIENTIST? I can do whatever I want with this degree, yes there are indeed jobs everywhere and yes again! How did you know I wanted to be a health scientist? Actually no, but there is so much more to the field of health sciences than there may seem, and I wouldn't think about changing my major for a second, even though most of the time I feel like I am in hell.
1. No matter how much studying you do, it is never enough.
Stayed up until 3 a.m. cramming for that exam? Still can only get a C.
2. Science, Biology, Chemistry, Science, Physiology, Science and more Science.
When 95% of your classes are science, you think you're pretty much the next Bill Nye.
3. You find yourself looking up medical videos and pictures in your free time and get excited when you meet someone who likes them too.
Yes, most of my Instagram is filled with gross medical accounts and I'm not sorry.
4. When your lab professor explains the procedure once and leaves expecting you to replicate it.
5. Free time doesn't exist.
I have 2 exams, 3 quizzes, 2 lab reports and a research assignment due next week so no I cannot "hang".
6. But on the other hand, writing papers happens once every never so that's a plus.
7. When your professor tells you anything they says in class is fair game for an exam, even if it's not in the book.
8. You find yourself being the only one laughing at any cheesy science joke.
9. Your friends may be counting calories and such, but you are over there calculating how the sugars, fats, and carbs are being chemically processed into your body.
10. You learn about a disease and automatically think you have it because you share one tiny symptom, but it's okay I'll have a new disease tomorrow.
Hypochondriac 4 life.
11. Regardless of the horrors you have gone through and will go through, you will never want to change your major or future.
At the end of the day, health and science have my heart and I will work my hardest to guarantee that it is in my future.
