When you first fall for someone it's slow then all at once. Falling for someone takes time. Here are things you should know before you fall for a health major:

1. You will become their pretend patient

Health majors learn practical skills that they need to practice on real people. Whether it is blood pressure, palpations, range of motion, full body assessment, or many other things. But I promise they won't hurt you and you might even learn something.


2. Be prepared to learn more about your body then you want to know

Being a health major you have to take biology and anatomy classes. In order to pass these classes, you have to know a lot about the body and how it works.

3. They might be very open about bodily functions

Enough said.

4. They might try and guess what you have when you're sick or sore

When you're sick they are the ones to guess what you have. They can tell you whether you need to go to the doctors or not and they might be able to tell you how serious it could be.


5. They have much more class time than other majors

You know that one credit class? Yeah, that's still a two-hour class. They only have one class that day? Well, that one class could last multiple hours.

6. They have to study a bit more than others

Health majors study a lot because they have to. Many times health major have to apply to get into their major and they have to have a specific GPA in order to do that. They also have to have their GPA up because they might have to apply to grad school later on. Not only both of these but health material can be hard and confusing.

7. They are 10x busier

Not only do health majors have classes, they have hours on hours of studying and hours of clinical's or field work. They are also expected to be involved on campus, work, volunteer, and still have a social life. This leaves a lot less free time.

Falling for a health major is different than falling for other majors. It isn't bad to fall for a health major, it is just a lot different and it is something you may have to adjust to.

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.
