10 Things That Happen When You're a Science Major

Being a science major is actually awesome, but sometimes we find ourselves asking: "Am I seriously this crazy to be in this major?" After short consideration, we always come to the conclusion that: "I must be!"

1. You quickly realize that you don't have a life anymore.

Work, work, work, work, work, work....that's all you ever do anymore, whether it's studying, lab reports, or worksheets for your six different classes.

2. When you begin to think you have a life (even for a day), you remember that the next lab report is due in three days.

Crap! Just when you think you're catching a break, your major comes back to bite you in the ass and remind you that there's work to be done.

3. You consider changing your major at least 5 times...a day


4. Every time you start to study for a science exam, a part of you dies at the same time.

5.You end up talking yourself back into loving your major and you get a boost of confidence for a day.


6. Your friends begin to wonder if you're mentally stable.


You've developed the crazy eyes of a science major, and your roommates begin to hear you talking to yourself like there are two people in the room.

7. You start to wonder if the chemicals you're working with in lab could possibly kill you.


8. You realize that they can in fact kill you and you start to feel like a mad scientist.


Don't deny it, sometimes in lab you feel like a total badass when it comes to chemical reactions and making mini explosions happen at your very will and desire (even though you sort of have to in order to pass the course).

9. Taking three-hour chemistry labs makes you appreciate lunchtime more and more.


If you've ever decided to skip lunch and get a bite to eat after you get out of lab, don't make that mistake again! Nothing is worse than sitting in lab for hours straight with a grumbling stomach.

10. You aced the test you studied 10 hours for and you do a 5-minute-long happy dance.


Nothing feels better than getting an awesome grade for being such a diligent science student, keep up the good work!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
