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.

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.

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.
