Being a neuroscience and psychology double major, these are some of the struggles that most science majors and I go through.

20 Struggles Every Science Major Knows
Imperial College London

If you're a science major, I guarantee that you've gone through all of these hassles at least once.

1) "I can't. I have lab."

2) Having to write lab reports

When the lab report is due at 11:59AM and it's 11:00AM

3) Two words: Lab Goggles

Lab goggles become your life, and you always have them in your backpack.

4) When your lab goggles fog up

5) Studying for an exam and failing it

Will there be a curve?

6) Getting a 32% on an exam, but the curve hits and your final score is an 88%

7) "The final will be cumulative."

8) Significant Figures suck

9) Confusing diagrams/pictures

10) Applying to graduate schools

Where are all my Pre-Meds/Pre-Dental/Pre-Vets?

11) Mastering Bio, Chem, etc. is insanely annoying

12) Spending all weekend doing research

13) When your percent error is unfortunately high so you have to redo the experiment

14) Considering switching to a non-science major after taking an exam

Then, you realize that you love science way too much to switch.

15) Professors begin teaching on the very first day of class

What happened to syllabus week????

16) Having two lab reports and three exams all in one week

17) Running out of coffee

18) Having more than two labs in a semester

19) Choosing a lab partner

20) Trying to remember all the symbols and formulas

Sure, we science majors go through these struggles, but we persevere. We love science way to much to give-up. Science isn't just a field of study. It's a way of life.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
