5 Signs You’re a Bio Major at Tufts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tufts chapter.

This one is for all the lovely collegiettes that are bio majors! We just love life so much!  No, seriously, biology is the study of life and we really love it (some times more than others).

Whether it be molecular, environmental, marine, or just plain old biology that sparks your interest, you all know the struggle of labs, research, and forever wishing you could win a Nobel Prize.  So, these are the 5 things you, as bio majors, can totally relate to here at Tufts.

1. You basically live in Barnum.

And you’re shocked when someone asks, “Where is that?” Seriously?! It’s the one with the giant elephant in front of it.

2. You eat everything in sight after your lab.

Because three hours without food (or coffee?!) should be illegal. You’ve also probably broken the world record for the fastest speed-walk to Dewick or Carm. 

3. You’re so used to writing lab reports that writing papers for humanities classes is a struggle.

“What do you mean I can’t put figures in my history paper?” “Where does the data go?” “Wait, there’s no data?”

4. Working out turns into a mini-review session about cellular respiration.

You think, “WOW, I’m using so much ATP.” And when your legs start to burn, you know it’s lactic acid fermentation.

5. You’re so sick of everyone asking, “Are you pre-med?”

We’re not all pre-med! There are so many different career paths for bio majors other than medicine.

While it may seem tough at times to be a bio major here at Tufts, just remember…

Hi!! My name is Paige Fielding. I'm from Revere, Massachusetts and I am a member of the Tufts University Class of 2019. I high jump for the Tufts Women's Track & Field team, so I am always eager to learn about new health and fitness trends. Even though I am an athlete, fashion is a big part of my life and I love to stay on trend with the latest styles. My favorite season is winter. I am a skier, so I embrace the bitter cold. Tap dancing is another hobby of mine. It's a killer for your calves and performing with all eyes on me is something I'm used to, so tap is perfect for me. I love Her Campus and how it's a place for colligettes to write about and talk about girl things! I love reading HC when I just need a break from studying. HCXO - Paige
