Being a Pre-Med Major is hard, everyone knows that. Sometimes humor is the best way to get through those stressful weeks of studying and reading and labs. So here are 10 ways you know for sure you're a Pre-Med major...

1.There is no such thing as syllabus week...

Because if you didn't cover an entire chapter the first day of lecture, did you even go to class?

2. Having a 3.5-hour lab on the first day of class is "normal."

Okay, so let's be honest, that is not normal at all but I mean ... for us, I guess it kinda is. I mean they might as well throw us in the deep end, right?

3. Leaving lab early is the best feeling in the world!!!

Maybe it's just me...maybe it's not but doesn't walking out of lab early feel like the chains that have held you down the past few hours have been released? Too dramatic? No? Yes? Okay, maybe... but you get my point.

4. Books are so expensive...

Sure, let me go ahead and pay $250 for that Chemistry Book. Oh, wait what's that? Can I sell it back at the end of the year? SIKE. Nope, I can't, because MCAT. Need I say more?

5. People ask you for medical advice and you have no idea what to tell them.

It's like they say, "Oh, you're pre-med right? Can you tell me what's wrong with me?" and you respond with, "Oh no, but let me tell you about mitochondria and proteins."

6. Wearing long pants and closed toed shoes for lab when it's hot outside is the worst.

No, I am not wearing these jeans for fun. I am wearing them so the hydrochloric acid I'll be using doesn't eat me.

7. Recording lectures is life.

If ya'll don't know that it is unbelievably helpful to record your lectures. Trust me. Do it.

8. You are actually really proud when you're chosen to be a tutor or a TA for a class.

It's almost like a badge of honor. Let's be real, to all you tutors and TAs out there, you guys rock, and it is totally a badge of honor and you wear it proud.

9. Studying a week in advance for a test is NOT an option.

So for some of you geniuses out there, you're like "oh psh, you don't need to study for a week in advance!" Well, maybe not for you, but for us mere mortals, yes this is a real thing. Study a week in advance kids.

10. Med School is scary. And that's OK.

Med School is totally scary, it's real and it's coming and it's so hard. We don't know what to expect but it is a constant thing looming over our heads. It's the first thing you think about when you get a B on that test and the motivation behind almost everything you do in undergrad.

But yet, no matter how hard it gets, how many nights you stay up studying, and how many laughs and tears you go through, it's all worth it.

You go, future Doctor, you got this. We got this.
