<p>So...I'm a sophomore Bio major and all the science classes make me want to die. But my French and Psychology classes were really inspiring, relaxing, and enjoyable. I can't decide whether to make the switch to French or not though, b/c I think I may actually like being a virologist, it's getting there that's the problem. </p>
<p>Do the science majors out there actually like your bio and chem classes? Or is it just more of a "get through this crap now, and enjoy later?"</p>
<p>How will you enjoy doing something you don't enjoy learning about?</p>
<p>Well, classes aren't specialized yet--I'm a sophomore, and the school I'm at doesn't offer a microbiology major so I'm just doing general bio.</p>
<p>Options to consider:
-switching majors
-double majoring
-minoring in french/psych
-going on exchange to a french-speaking country</p>
<p>Don't be afraid to do what you love. See if you can job-shadow a virologist so you know what you'll actually be doing, and if going through science classes is worth that.</p>
<p>I took Econ because I'm dumb about money (and I was strongly advised by everyone to avoid Aerospace) but it's not what I thought it would be.</p>
<p>I liked my major (engineering) for the first month of the semester, hated it from October-December, and then switched to English in early December.</p>
<p>I'm much more excited about my academic future now.</p>
<p>nobody hates my major, if this is what you are asking. I dont hate anybody else's major either.</p>
<p>The general bio classes i've taken are quite a bit different from microbio classes, so you probably need to get more into your major classes to like them more. And defintely minor in psych or french or both, it would be helpful and its nice to have a chance from all science classes and labs.</p>
<p>I also have a microbio friend who hates and fails her general sciences like physics and ochem, but loves and gets As/Bs in her upper level micro classes like pathogenic micro and parasitology...</p>
<p>Im a engineering major and well hate science and well hate science even more. But there arent many other degree's that i feel are worth my time. I dont really even plan to be an engineer.</p>
<p>It might also be your teachers. Psych professors and foreign language professors tend to have zeal about explaining their subjects. Science teachers are notoriously drab and probably are smarter in the field than they are good at teaching in it.</p>

<p>Heh. That was moderately funny.</p>
<p>"get through this crap now, and enjoy later?"</p>
<p>yes, i definitely feel that way, being a bio major. :( :( :( :( </p>
<p>i wanted to take German this quarter and learn more about music history... alas, i have to sacrifice myself to the chem Gods in hope of getting something better in the end</p>
<p>I hate people who hate my major. </p>
<p>(^_^)</p>
<p>you hate your science classes but you want to be a virologist??? Getting to that point is gonna take a TON of science classes, so either you've gotta change majors or just suck it up until you get to do what you enjoy (virology).</p>
<p>i'm Electrical Engineering...and i can foresee many long nights in late labs in the future years. but my intro EE class was very enjoyable, and stuff like Huffman binary encoding trees were strangely interesting. hopefully this bodes well for the future...</p>
<p>the only other thing i could see myself doing (and doing quite happily, i might add) is Music Industry (Recording). but the job prospects there are fairly limited compared to EE, where i could easily get the same job anyways, but with far more fall backs.</p>
<p>I'm Fashion Merchandising, which is the business and industry side of Fashion Design. I realized that I really hate the actual sewing and making things process, which is why I'm glad I'm in the businessy part instead of the design part. I struggled/am struggling through the 2 design classes I have to take (got a C in one, just started the other) but it made me realize "Yeah, I really don't want to do anything related to the Design process" and that I really like the business and industry aspect of it (so much that I'm considering a business minor to go along with it).</p>
<p>I'm thinking about being a math major... but I ended up with no math classes this semester. I took a ton in high school, enjoyed it moderately, and do want to continue, but I think I just like the idea of being a math major and having a math degree more than I like sitting around doing math.</p>
<p>I'm in a major crisis. It sucks.</p>
<p>^ lol i was exactly like that, and still am . I loved math, and came in with full intetions of getting a math/econ degree, things changed dramatically for me. The concept of a math degree is sooo appealing and it would be so self gratifing to have that degree, but in all honesty, there comes a point where you dont care about math, for me it just got to intense and too theoretical, it was soo abstract that i didnt see the need for it and i stoped enjoying it. Definatly take more math classes to broaded your horizons and see how far you can go to where there is a balance of your interest in the subject and of your enjoyment, if you can keep enjoying it and doing well in it throughout the 4 years, then b4 you know it you will have a degree, and if not , you can fall back on a second choice major. </p>
<p>Take 1 or 2 classes every semester and 1 in the summer, so that if youd ecide to be a math major your not behind.</p>
