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.
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.
7. When you thought you failed the test but you just passed.
8. When the professor does a horrible job explaining something and asks if everyone gets it.
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.
11. When your best friend is also your lab partner and you gave your final presentation 6 days ago...
12. After your take your first Environment Science class.
13. And finally, when you get check your final grade and you see that you passed!!
This feeling is almost better than pipetting. Almost.
