Blog #51: My major

My major is biology here at Ohio State. The reason I chose this major is because I love the subjects of science and math. I also I know that I would like to go into the medical field or go into dentistry. I really enjoy my major since it involves a lot of sciences and math, which are two things I am good at. I really enjoy the science classes, such as anatomy, physiology, and biology. I find it interesting to learn about the human body from cells all the way up to the body as a whole. I also love that we are required to take physics. I really enjoy physics because it is more of a math-based science, and math is what I am really good at. I have not started taking physics yet, but I am excited to take it hopefully next year. The one thing I hate about my major is all the chemistry that we have to take because I am not very good at chemistry. I mean I did okay in the first two chemistry courses and I am in the third now, but I just feel like they could make it a little easier on us. I understand why they do not because they are trying to get us ready for medical school and our major, since both require a lot of work and pressure. I also dislike that we have to take foreign language because that was always my weak point. I took the 103.66 series in the fall and then tried the 104 in the winter, but I decided to try and test out of it instead, and I did, thankfully! Overall, I like my major and I can’t wait to get into my major classes. Also, I am thinking about minoring in Anthropology, which is something new and fun that I discovered in the winter. I think I will try that or possibly minor in psychology, but I feel that everyone in pre-med is minoring in that, and I would like to be different. Plus, I really enjoyed my anthropology class and even thought of switching my major, but I figured biology was the save way to go.
