Being A Science Major, As Told By 'New Girl'

It's definitely not easy to describe, but New Girl makes it easier.

Being A Science Major, As Told By 'New Girl'

The world of science majors in a very interesting domain, one that's treated like an exclusive clique. Every science major has a similar attitude: you don't understand unless you're going through the science struggles. I, being a science major, understand the pain and suffering of this world. So without further ado, here is a run-down of what being a science major is like... as told by the show "New Girl."

1. When you accidentally happen upon an amazing lab partner.

A lot of lab partners just aren't that great -- so when you stumble upon what seems to be the holy grail of all lab partners, you cling on. And you don't let go.

2. When your 20-page lab report is due by midnight and you really don't even know what the lab was about.

Oh, and did I mention the lab report is 30 percent of your final lab grade? This pressure drives science majors to insanity and being lost about the general theme of the lab definitely doesn't help matters.

3. When anyone, ever, tries to relate to you when you're stressed.

And I mean other science majors, too. In our time of stress, no one is allowed to compare to us.

4. When you actually leave the library for once, but your list of responsibilities is still looming over you.

When a science major stops studying, they don't feel refreshed or on top of things -- they feel guilty. Because there is always more to do and more to study, but college is meant to be enjoyed as well.

5. When you come out of a four hour lab and you're experiencing a lot of emotions.

You're obviously hungry, you're angry that your lab took that long and you have to sigh and accept that you get to go through it all next week.

6. Leaving your professor's office hours even more confused than you were.

A general rule of thumb for science professors is that they're way too smart for their own good. When you let them start to ramble about their area of expertise, it most definitely does not lead to you understanding what you actually need to know for the exam.

7. And lastly, identifying the genius person in your class so that you can beg them to help you.

Science majors have next to no pride or dignity in their difficult classes. If you're a pro on the material, odds are students are going to be flocking to you for help -- we just don't have the pride to be competitive. We are way too tired to keep up the charade of understanding everything.

Overall, being a science major in college is a wild experience, but an incredibly rewarding one. Cheers to everyone who goes through the misery, we can all be in emotionally compromising situation together!

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.
