A Note To Incoming STEM Major Freshmen And High Schoolers Who Are Thinking Of Pursuing Science:

A note to incoming STEM major freshmen and high schoolers who are thinking of pursuing science:

you WILL take more than one STEM class. every single semester. so will every single other STEM major. no one will feel bad if you think you have a hard course load because you’re in more than one STEM class. it’s just not happening.

that being said - here is the god’s honest truth, coming from someone who’s overloaded in courses 4 out of 5 semesters (because they wouldn’t let me do so my first):

1) everything you think you can’t do, you can, and then some

2) everything you think is the hardest thing you’ve experienced, you will overcome, and then face even harder challenges, which you will also overcome

3) if you love what you’re doing - really, truly, love what you’re doing - you’ll be ecstatic that your entire schedule consists of just that. taking only STEM classes is awesome when that’s what you want to devote the rest of your life to

basically what I’m getting at with this is -

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you’re right.
