Being a biology major is tough as it is, especially usually being one out of over a thousand others.

The good thing is that you always have people to rely on, but there's always gonna be those same struggles that will inevitably occur no matter how much you try to avoid them.

1. "So you're like pre-med, right?"

Well, yes and no... Technically I'm declared premed because I have no idea what else to do. So I'm really just seeing what fits. This will forever be a question ALL biology will be asked. It just is the way that it is.

2. "Biology isn't really a hard science."

No. NO. NOOO! Usually, this is said by our fellow chemistry and physics majors who think they're sooo much better than us. Even the biochemistry majors will think they're hot stuff. Like no, just because you add chem to the end of your major name doesn't make you any smarter. All in all, never say this to one of us bio people, it will just get you into an unnecessary argument to the point you wish you never said anything.

3. "Biology is sooo easy compared to what I have to do."

Again, usually this is said by the chemistry or physics majors. But, no, just no... You chose a major where you have to take classes that require solving long calculus proofs and whatever else. Let me stick to my plants and half open dissected cat in peace.

4. "I could never dissect anything, it's sooo gross!"

Well, good for you cause you'll never have to. Some people actually enjoy getting to look inside (insert dead animal's name here) body. Maybe a little too much. But just remember I'm the one with the scalpel in hand, not you honey.

5. "GMOs can kill you."

Lol, you REALLY think that? Genetically modified organisms are just what they say. Genetically modified to enhance a certain characteristic. Scientists are just speeding up the natural process of evolution. We'd probably all starve to death if it wasn't for those. So stop following the media bandwagon and maybe do some research before saying that.

6. "You must be sooo smart."

I hate this one so much. Define smart. You can be smart in many different ways, not just science smart. Plus, if you count struggling through multiple classes smart, then thanks I guess. Just because I'm a science major, doesn't automatically make me a genius.

7. When lab gets canceled

Now I have no idea what to do with my life for two and a half hours. Wow, I really am a nerd. Guess I'll just go study for another class with this newfound time.

8. Considers multiple other majors before deciding that you'll always go back to biology

Yes, I have considered other so called "easier" majors. Psychology, yes I've given it a thought. Journalism, yes but too much writing. Photography, yes but would I ever get a job? Biology it is then. It's just a love I cannot deny.

9. "Ooo so you have to take organic chemistry?"

Yes, yes I do. Do you not think I'm very well aware of that?? I'm dreading it just as much as you, except you don't have to take it.

10. Dreading having to take physics and calculus

I picked biology for a reason, and being required to take a full year of physics and calculus should be illegal.

11. Keeping all your work for only a few days before the test

I mean everyone has done this before. If your biology professor goes way too fast through all the PowerPoints combined with thinking you already know everything, leaves you rushing the day before the test trying to figure out everything you had no idea you needed to know in the first place.

12. When you get that one professor that is literally an angel and will easily help explain that one concept you just can't get

This is very special when it happens. Usually, all the good teachers are taken quickly. So when you just click with a professor, it's a miracle.

13. But also when you get that one professor that everyone goes out of their way not to get

This happened to me with my general chemistry class. Let's just say a few choice words were said when I was trying to teach myself the whole entire class.

14. When you happen to find all the biology and anatomy books at Barnes & Noble

This is a science majors dream. You'll buy them out of your pure love for science, obsess over them for about a week, and then they end up just being another one out of a million science books accumulating on your bookshelf.

15. When you study plants so much that you actually think you might become one

Usually, none of us bio majors like plants by the time we're done with our first semester of bio lab. The majority of us would rather extract DNA than look at all the parts of a flower. It takes a certain type of person to fall in love with plants, but we all have to deal with them.

16. There's always SO MUCH INFORMATION

Lastly, as a biology major, there's always gonna be more to learn. That one thing you learn in AP biology, yeah, there's a million other things about that you have yet to learn. But that's what makes it interesting and why I chose this major. There's always something else out there ready to be discovered.
