Life Of A Science Major, As Told By SpongeBob Squarepants

Science. You love it and you hate it. You wouldn't want to major in anything else, but you really, really don't want to major in this, either. Sometimes you hate going to class as much Squidward hates going to work, but you love science like SpongeBob loves Krabby Patties. It's complicated, but your favorite sea creatures down in Bikini Bottom understand. Here's what it's like to be a science major according to SpongeBob and his friends.

You need to immerse yourself in your major in order to understand anything.

But somehow everyone else is an expert in a topic from lecture that you completely missed.

Trying to understand scientific papers.

You stay in the library. Forever.

And you spend even more time in lab.

Fudging the numbers on your lab reports to get better results.

Desperately trying to impress your professor with your research:

You usually act like Squidward when someone asks you to hang out during the week because you don't have time.

But you go absolutely nuts when you can go out because you went insane cooped up studying all week.

When the professor does an example problem during class:

This is you when you get your a grade back for anything:

You question why you got points off when you answered all of the problems correctly.

And then your final grades come in.

When people ask what you're doing after college/what graduate programs you're applying to/ when you're taking the MCAT or GREs:

Organic Chemistry.

Your brain after a night of studying.

Your brain during an exam.

Almost every day, you question your life choices as a science major as you reap virtually no rewards for your hard work.

Then you get a homework problem right without looking at the solutions.

Suddenly, you (kind of) understand the material.

And you realize you actually enjoy what you're learning.

And you literally don't know what you would do without your fellow science majors. They are your rock.

Overall, it's hard work, but you wouldn't want to major in anything else.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
