9 Gifts All Science Majors Want To Receive This Holiday Season

Is your best friend a science major? Or maybe your boyfriend? Sibling perhaps? Well, look no further. Here are some of the gifts that all of us science majors want (need?) more than anything.

1. A new model kit.

The ones the school provides at the bookstore just don't cut it. They are so hard to snap together to form even a single molecule. A new one would be amazing.

2. Money for all of our textbooks.

Our textbooks can be oh so expensive, and I cry a little every single time I swipe my debit card at the bookstore for all my books. I envy all of my English major friends when they tell me they got all of their English novels at a secondhand store for a mere five dollars. What a life. Any money toward textbooks helps!

3. A science pun sticker/sweater/tee shirt. Basically, anything with a science pun on it.

Let's face it, most of us science majors are also science nerds (in the best way possible). We live for science puns. We make horrible science puns, but only periodically (pun intended). Trust and believe that we will show off any and all science pun gifts we receive!

4. A whole day of sleep.

Maybe just get us a day of pure sleep somehow? Most of us are severely sleep-deprived, and all we need at the moment is just a full day of sleep. Seriously. Just us, a bed, pillows, and a nice warm blanket. If you could make that possible we would be forever in your debt.

5. An "A" on our next science exam.

I don't know how you're going to pull this one off. Maybe bribe the teacher? I hear they like candy and the like. Your family member, friend, significant other, etc. will greatly appreciate this one.

6. A whole bunch of new pens.

All of our lab reports (and I mean every. single. one) must be done in pen. And you know that we lose all of our pens exponentially. So please, for the love of God, get us new pens. Maybe even add some colorful ones to the mix as well so that we can color code our hectic planners.

7. A new brain.

Our current brains are fried with chemistry, biology, physiology, anatomy, you name it. A new brain would be a dream come true. Maybe even one that could hold more information at once? That would be the jackpot.

8. New lab goggles.

This isn't quite a necessity, but the ones we have currently are completely makeup-stained. Wearing makeup going into the lab? Think again. You will leave the lab with all of the makeup you had on your face relocated onto your goggles. It's unfortunate, both for us and our goggles.

9. Kimwipes to clean off our microscopes.

We do not do dirt on our microscope lenses. Why would you ever let a speck of dirt get in the way of science?! It's too cool to be held back by dirt specks! So please please please get us Kimwipes for the holidays.

We may be nerds, but we sure do embrace the nerd life! There is nothing we love more than our lab goggles, microscopes and flasks! Help a science major out this year by getting them something they will love!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
