When you’re around 17 or 18 years old, you are given the task to choose what you want to do with your life. If you pick business and then after 4 years old college you realize you hate social situations and you don’t want to carry around a computer and talk numbers, then that might be a problem for you. This is scary to think about. For me there was nothing harder than picking my major. I had so many things that I wanted to do when I was younger that when I finally got to choosing, I couldn’t pick. I was torn between like three very different career paths because they all amazed me. This is something that many high school seniors, and undergraduates in college worry about. So if you are a biology major or considering it, here are some pros and cons as told by Grey's Anatomy that you probably understand.

Pro: You are always learning new things because science is always changing.

Con: Having a Friday off is usually impossible.

Con: There’s a good chance that your free time will be non-existent.

Pro: You can literally do anything with a biology background. (ex: health care, criminal justice, law)

Con: Labs are 2-3 hours long, you have to write a million lab reports, but the class is usually only 1 credit so all your hard work barely counts for anything.

Con: If you're pre-med, there's a good chance people will ask you medical questions, but you're still an undergrad so you have no idea what to tell them.

Con: You’re always in the science building because that’s were all your classes are.

Pro: You’re always in the science building because that’s were all your friends are.

Con: You may realize you hate general biology, but it’s okay, everyone does.

Con: Your science and math tests sometimes fall on the same day… and you will think that it’s time to quit.

Pro: All bio majors are willing to help you out when your struggling, because they understand.

Con: You may be up all night studying, but that's what coffee is for.

Con: You constantly think about switching your major, hoping for a break, but you know you can’t because that means all your hard work and money were wasted.

Pro: Even though there’s a lot of cons, you’ll be a bio major anyway, because we never back down from a challenge.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right?
