As a science major, you know college can be frustrating and difficult in ways that may be different to your peers. Every major comes with stress, hard work, and people telling you that they would hate their life if they had the same major as you. To a certain extent, science majors are like Dwight Schrute. Sometimes, I sit in class thinking I'm morphing into him and that I need to get my health in check.

1. When taking Ecology & Evolution makes you realize people's real motives.

We can't help it, every time we learn a new fact about why we do something, we over-analyze everyone and everything.

2. When you're in lab with no self confidence and question everything.

Idiot

If this is not you at some point during lab, props to you because lab makes a lot of us feel dumb as a brick.

3. You're in a study group trying to learn and the smartest kid in the class won't let you speak.

We all know the kid. They're hand is always raised.

4. When you learn a fancy sounding, science-y word and you can't stop using it.

When we're forced to say "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" in lab instead of "yeast."

5. When you prepare a wet mount and the slide cover goes on with no air bubbles.

Name a better feeling. I'll wait.

6. That day when you can't stop telling everyone the fun fact you just learned.

Coral reefs are healthy because of fish pee.

7. When you thought you failed the test but you just passed.

Need I say more?

8. When the professor does a horrible job explaining something and asks if everyone gets it.

There always has to be one professor like that per semester.

9. When you walk into the class that you know is going to be your hardest.


Chemistry................

10. Walking into the room on exam day.

Will I come out alive? Nobody knows.

11. When your best friend is also your lab partner and you gave your final presentation 6 days ago...

Worst part is the discussion afterwards. I just got a flashback.

12. After your take your first Environment Science class.

I am now one with the Earth. She is my child, I will nurture and care for her.

13. And finally, when you get check your final grade and you see that you passed!!


This feeling is almost better than pipetting. Almost.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
