The Truth About Being A Health Sciences Major

Ah, the major that stirs up all of the best questions. What can you do with that degree? Are there any job openings for you? Would you be a health SCIENTIST? I can do whatever I want with this degree, yes there are indeed jobs everywhere and yes again! How did you know I wanted to be a health scientist? Actually no, but there is so much more to the field of health sciences than there may seem, and I wouldn't think about changing my major for a second, even though most of the time I feel like I am in hell.

1. No matter how much studying you do, it is never enough.

Stayed up until 3 a.m. cramming for that exam? Still can only get a C.

2. Science, Biology, Chemistry, Science, Physiology, Science and more Science.

When 95% of your classes are science, you think you're pretty much the next Bill Nye.

3. You find yourself looking up medical videos and pictures in your free time and get excited when you meet someone who likes them too.

Yes, most of my Instagram is filled with gross medical accounts and I'm not sorry.

4. When your lab professor explains the procedure once and leaves expecting you to replicate it.


5. Free time doesn't exist.

I have 2 exams, 3 quizzes, 2 lab reports and a research assignment due next week so no I cannot "hang".

6. But on the other hand, writing papers happens once every never so that's a plus.


7. When your professor tells you anything they says in class is fair game for an exam, even if it's not in the book.


8. You find yourself being the only one laughing at any cheesy science joke.

9. Your friends may be counting calories and such, but you are over there calculating how the sugars, fats, and carbs are being chemically processed into your body.


10. You learn about a disease and automatically think you have it because you share one tiny symptom, but it's okay I'll have a new disease tomorrow.

Hypochondriac 4 life.

11. Regardless of the horrors you have gone through and will go through, you will never want to change your major or future.


At the end of the day, health and science have my heart and I will work my hardest to guarantee that it is in my future.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
