<p>Hi, I am still in high school and decided that it is highly probable that physics will be my major. I was wondering do you guys regret not doing anything in high school that would of helped you in your degree? I am going to take 2 college courses in physics which is basically ap physics B and then take ap physics C in 11th. What can I do outside classes that is related to physics? I am already in science bowl and thinking about doing some research with a professor if I find out if I have the time. Thank you!</p>
<p>Any summer programs relating to physics or are there any cool physics clubs or something at your university that was lacking in high school?</p>
<p>My recommendation would be to watch a lot of online science videos, such as the SciTechUK series on YouTube. The reason for this is that they cover even complicated topics at a very basic level, and it’s critical that before you try to understand physics at a college level, you first understand it at your mom’s level. Because if you don’t first understand a topic at a non-scientist’s level, you will eventually reach a point where none of it really makes sense to you. On the other hand, if you get to college and already have a solid layman’s understanding of the four forces of the universe and how the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces may actually be two different manifestations of the same thing (the electroweak force), then when the professor starts building on this idea (and hits you with Higgs bosons, Z particles, W bosons, etc all at once), it will actually make sense to you. (This is also why you should read the textbook before coming to class, no matter what your classmates say.)</p>
