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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
