I hope I can mix these chemicals together.

8 Thoughts Science Majors Have Periodically During Chem Lab, When They're Really In Their Element

This one is for all those science majors out there. Most of us have no intention of ever working in a lab, or having anything to do with chemistry, but by the time we graduate, we will definitely know which chemicals we can and cannot mix together. With that being said...

1. I hope I can mix these chemicals together

Let's be honest here... I forgot to label what this is when I poured this into the beaker, so I honestly have no idea what I'm mixing.

2. If I spill this on myself will it burn?

Surely not....right? They wouldn't give us stuff that would burn us, would they?

3. Update: it does not burn... I know because I spilled it on myself

It's probably a good thing they don't give us stuff that could actually burn us.

4. Does my lab partner think I'm stupid?

I'm not sure if this chick thinks I'm the smartest person because I can bull crap my way through this lab, or if she knows how bad I truly am at this.

5. Is this the right equation?

I'm just going to plug these numbers into every equation I can think of until I get a number thats close enough.

6. Did we learn this in class?


Probably not... actually no I definitely have never seen this ever.

7. I wonder if the smart kid will let me copy his/her lab?

Maybe if I offer to buy his/her lunch or something?

8. I understand I'm a science major, but I NEVER want to work in a lab.

I will work in a hospital, with people. I don't want to be anywhere around all these chemicals and this equipment.

These thoughts, as well as many others, go through my head every single week when I suffer through a 3 hour lab. We'll make it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
