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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
