like, literally how do i decide between medicine and physics? they’re both so fucking cool… studying astrophysics or computational physics seems super fun, and the university i’m going to has good programs for both, but so does shit like plastic surgery and neurology… i wish i could do a double major and become highly specialized in nuclear medicine or radiation oncology or something. i also keep flip-flopping between wanting to focus on natural science and social science. like, for a couple of weeks, i’ll want to study physics or chemistry or whatever, but then suddenly i’ll change my mind and want to study literature, sociocultural anthropology, philosophy, or something similar 🫠
Your indecisiveness is very relatable to me… the number of majors I’ve technically had is roughly equivalent to the number of years I’ve been of eligible age to go to college, and keep in mind that I’ve had gap years… aha 🫠
way too real 😭 my university application last year probably managed to cover all possible domains of knowledge…
A part of me is such a indecisive, goody two-shoes’d, and hobbyistically eggheaded mfer, that I think if I was given a million dollars I’d basically just surgerymaxx and get every single college degree I can just for the hell of it. Like I genuinely orient my life around collecting just general “knowledge”, even when I’m not in school, and I don’t like specialization, so it just feels like the “general ed” stage of education has no end in sight for me sometimes… it feels like I’m burning money, but if I settled on any of my first degrees I know I’d be kicking myself for doing that in the future just given how much I’ve changed over the years… the degree I settled on as of current was picked pretty much specifically because of its inherently multidisciplinary/integrative nature, combining a lot of stuff I’ve been studying and have wanted to study into one cohesive whole, so in-theory it’s PERFECT for me, and yet I’m still constantly getting cold feet about actually following through on pursuing it till its end…
yeau, i know exactly what you mean 😭
i’m a chronically indecisive person, and it’s bascially guaranteed that, no matter what i actually choose, i’ll regret my choice at some point…
just do math 😎
i almost did apply to a bachelor’s in math last year, but chose physics with the intention of taking extra credits in math, instead… though, my brain stopped working, so i ultimately ended up doing neither 😭
do a math bachelors babe we can form a homology group
studying math does sound fun… though, i’m most likely going to med school in january… lowkey, maybe i need to self-study math and do some cool shit like computational neuroscience.
self-studying math on the side and focusing on a useful degree is lowk the way to go. enjoy ur med school breastie!!!
yeau. a big reason why i ended up applying to med school was that the research opportunities are much better for medicine than math and physics… at least in my country, math and physics tend to lead into oil and gas extraction that’ll kill the planet or designing autonomous missiles that’ll kill children in Gaza… and i’d rather not end up in a situation where the only employer interested in my skills is a defense contractor 😭
shes a renaissance woman
real… i need a rich benefactor who’ll let me devote my life to studying everything…
ill become a billionaire and finance your research <3
waow 🥺
