Well, What If College Majors Were Scenes From 'The Big Bang Theory'? [Audience Laughs]

"73 in binary is 1-0-0-1-0-0-1, which backwards is 1-0-0-1-0-0-1. Exactly the same."

College students attend college for various reasons, but the big goal is to come out with an undergraduate degree. As you know, each student has his or her own passions and interests, which is common with many individuals. It isn't surprising for this overlap to happen, but whatever it is, you will typically choose your major(s) based on something you're passionate about.

With respect to "The Big Bang Theory," some of the scenes in the show will correlate very well to the majors listed below.

1. Chemistry

(Beginning through 1:24)

When Leonard is mixing the combustible gel to create that thrust, he doesn't properly adjust the formula (confirmed by Sheldon), and as you can see, bad things happen when you don't use the correct formula. Especially in your own apartment and in an elevator. Don't try this at home, kids.

2. Communications

There is clearly some disconnect between Raj and Sheldon, and Sheldon is displeased with Raj's insufficient understanding based on his body language. As a result, Raj decides to wait inside the door rather than outside (He also came in without Sheldon telling him to come in). Not only that, Raj thinks that he has a job offer waiting for him, but it didn't really come yet until Sheldon played a practical joke on him.

DISCLAIMER: In all honesty, any scene where Sheldon yells 'Bazinga!" there's a communication problem because most of the cast takes Sheldon too seriously.

3. Biology

As you can see here, biology students can have a challenging experience with multiple labs in a day, and being able to maintain a high level of success and focus in their research is anything but easy.

4. Psychology

Penny is a frequent visitor to Leonard and Sheldon's apartment (start at 1:04), and at times she can be a bit extra. Sheldon is able to keep that in control by using operant conditioning.

5. Education

Teachers expect their students to take class seriously, so when Penny doesn't do so, Sheldon becomes a bit more impatient. (Start at 0:22)

6. Engineering

Amy Farrah Fowler is in the middle of a research project and in her case, she needs an engineer to help with the project. It's the perfect project for Howard, whose skillset and background matches up.

7. Mathematics

Using number theory, Sheldon is able to identify a complex relationship between numbers in both prime number format, but also in binary.

8. Athletic Training

Penny gives a perfect explanation on how NOT to train.

9. Physics

Sheldon is working on a physics problem and he ponders it as he goes to bed. When he wakes up in the morning and notices that somebody solved the equation for him, he reacted negatively, but the equation ends up being correct. In physics, it's important to model things correctly because inaccuracy can prove to be a critical mistake.

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.
