15 Signs You're A Nutrition Major

We study food, we experiment on food, we prepare food, we eat food, we pretty much are food. We live it, love it, learn it, breathe it. We probably think and talk about food way more than the average person.

1. You're always hungry.

I mean, how can we not be, ALL we talk about in class is food. Carbs, fats, protein. *Pizza, pizza, pizza*

2. Constantly explaining the difference between a Dietitian and a Nutritionist.

Yes, there is a difference.

3. We still eat unhealthy food, guilt free.

Just because we know how bad it is, doesn't mean we won't eat it.


4. Nobody understands the word 'struggle' unless they took Orgo.

The worst days of our lives.


5. No we are not judging you based on your food decisions.

We make bad choices sometimes too. Pass me the Ben and Jerry's please.


6. As soon as we pick up a food product, we automatically go to the Nutrition Label.

It's second nature at this point.


7. Our family acts as if we're already RDs and asks us every nutrition related fact ever.

Nope, not yet guys sorry!


8. Constantly feeling like the classes we take are for Med School or something.

Hmm, maybe I'll be the next Meredith Grey instead.


9. "Oh your major is so easy!"

HAHAHAHAH ..... *sobs*


10. No one likes going to the food store with you.

Three hours and $150 worth of organic food later.


11. You will never look at the order of food in a fridge the same way ever again.

Thanks ServSafe! Please, the chicken goes on the bottom, how many times do I have to tell you?


12. FATTOM...

No Tom you're not fat. I meant Food Acidity Temperature Time Oxygen Moisture. Thanks again ServSafe!


13. Getting into heated debates at the dinner table.

It can get vicious.


14. No, drinking green juices for all three meals for a week isn't "good for you."

It probably doesn't even taste good either.


15. We can't wait to help others better themselves through their dietary choices.

In the end, all the hard work, late night studying, and time in the labs will be worth it!


We're a special group of people, mostly girls. We form a bond from the first day in Freshman seminar. We push each other to do better. We help each other make it through Chem and Bio. Whether we're going to be dietitians or one of the many other nutrition options, we're having the best time learning the ropes! I mean, who else gets to make cookies just to learn how to measure ingredients in the kitchen?

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.
