11 Truths Science Majors Know All Too Well
Garry Moore/ Mood Board/ Rex F

If you are a science major, you may know what it feels like when your friends, who have different majors, can't relate to the common issues that you face because you study a science. Here is a compilation of 11 relatable issues that no one but science majors will understand.

1. Our schedules are packed with classes.

Chances are, if you ask us to hang out in before 2:30 pm you'll hear a version of: "I'm in class from 8:00 am-2:00 pm, sorry."


2. One word: labs.

Absolutely no one wants to get out of bed to be in class for three hours.


3. The people in your lab group become your best friends by the end of the semester.

No one can replace the bond that you share with you lab partners.


4. You always have a pair of lab goggles in your backpack.

They are basically the equivalent of your security blanket (and they make you look/feel intelligent).


5. But they will always ruin a perfect outfit.


Curse those goggle lines that will distract everyone you talk to. Yes, I know I have lines on my face. Please stop staring at them and look at my new outfit.


6. Mastering (biology, chemistry, etc.) is your worst nightmare.

Nothing puts you into panic mode faster than realizing you have your Mastering (bio, chem, etc.) due in two hours.


7. Syllabus week doesn't apply to you.

Right after the professor hands out the syllabus, they will jump right into the first chapter of notes. What a nice way to say welcome back to classes -- not!


8. You find yourself laughing at science jokes that no one else appreciates.

Come on, they aren't that bad


9. The weekends are not what they used to be.

Instead of partying with your friends, you're found in the library sitting alone drowning in your homework pile.


10. You question yourself every day if studying science is the right choice for you.

You find yourself asking how much longer until it's all done, and when will it get easier? Will there be a day I will go to bed earlier than 12:30 am because of homework?

11. You can't see yourself studying any other subject.

No matter how stressed you get, you wouldn't be as happy if you weren't studying science.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
