16 Thoughts Every Science Major Has During Lecture
@bigbangtheory_cbs

Unless you are that one natural born genius in a discussion that makes every other person feel like their hopes and dream are being crushed every time you speak, then I guarantee you have had AT LEAST, one of these sixteen thoughts run through your mind during lecture.

1."Wait, what??"

This one is a more common one, you probably say this one to yourself more times than you can count - and I'm assuming you can count pretty high if you're in these classes.

2. “The human body is insane”

You probably just heard some ridiculous thing about your body that you don't even know how to pronounce the word for it, but it probably ends in, "ase".

3. “Who actually sat down and created this formula?”

But actually!! Who came up with these numbers and how do even know if they can be trusted if every law has so many exceptions?!

4. “How cool would it be if I actually understand what was happening right now?”

This one is usually when you're actually sitting there trying to understand the topic but it's just not happening. That's also usually the same time you go on twitter to look at cute puppies on your timeline to make you feel better about yourself.

5. "Wtf is a mole?"

A who? A mole? Guacamole? Chipotle?

6. “Wait, what did he/she just say?"

10/10 chance you just heard your professor say, "make sure you remember this INCASE IT SHOWS UP ON THE EXAM *cough* *cough*. But sure enough, you were too busy looking at cute puppies and the person next to you was probably thinking about what they're going to eat later sooo there goes one answer to the exam.

7. “When did we ever learn that?”

This is usually after you actually did the assigned reading and don't remember ever reading a single word that just came out of your professor's mouth.

8. “I hate whoever discovered this”

Yeah, shout out to, Newton, Bohr, Darwin, Galileo, Watson, Kepler, Rutherford, Faraday and the rest of you!!! You guys kind of ruin lives, cool discoveries, but still not your biggest fan.

9. “The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”

Never a bad guess when it comes to biology.

10. “I miss Bill Nye the science guy”

"Bill Nye the Science guy! Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill" You're the real MVP, thanks for always dumbing everything down.

11. “I’ve heard that word before!”

Ahh yes, when you did the reading and you ACTUALLY remember seeing that word your professor just said. Don't know what it means but hey, baby steps, baby steps.

12. “Wtf do all these Greek letters mean"

Again, why are we trusting these people with all these formulas they created? Numbers and Greek letters are different things, lets try to keep it that way maybe?

13. “I wonder what would happen if Isaac Newton just let the freaking apple fall from the tree without questioning it”

Okay but honestly, if an apple falls from a tree when you're literally just sitting there why couldn't he have just let the apple be and enjoyed the fresh air?

14. "Ew I don't wanna go to lab this week it's supposed to be like 90 degrees"

Why do we need to have long pants, closed toe shoes, a lab coat, gloves AND goggles on when we are using distilled water and sodium? Threaten to kick me out for wiping the fog out my goggles again, I want to leave anyways.

15. "Does this actually make sense to people?"

This thought normally crosses your mind when you hear some one frantically typing on their laptop and you look up only to see that they're just typing an iMessage (thank god).

16. "Okay I really don't care about this right now"

And at this moment, you have accepted defeat and the fact that you're going to fail and you're read for some well earned Chipotle and a nap.

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.

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.
