Missing Physics
Hello Humans! Wow. It's weird when you start to miss Physics. Like I miss my Physics class, and sitting in the back seat all alone to my thoughts, the Basement Physics corridor, and just learning about how the world works and moves. I miss the Physics lab and our super high tech equipment. Our super high tech equipment was compromised of a phone wire held by two people, in which they moved their arms up and down to demonstrate waves. There are only two things that would make BYU-H a better place.
1. Having both a Physics major and a Chemistry major. There is only 3 Physics courses offered here at BYU-H. Two of them are feared, and one of them doesn't even use math. I really wish they had at least one advanced level Physics course, even if it was an online course. And for the Chemistry, they have it as a minor, or you can do a Biology degree with an emphasis on Chemistry, but there is no Chemistry major alone. So sad, my two favorite sciences are not offered here as Majors. So sad. I mean, I've tried to get excited about BioChemistry by finding a career that would interest me, and trying to find a cool research project to work on, but it's just not the same enthusiasm as I have for Chemistry and Physics. Looks like I might transfer again this next year to a school that has both Physics and Chemistry majors, unless something major happens in my life.
2. Having a bigger emphasis on the Science department. I mean, BYU-H has a pretty good Biology program, for Medical students only. Because about 99% of their Biology majors want to go to medical school after they graduate. There is only one club in the science department, and that is the Health Professions Club. That's the other amazing thing that I miss about SUU, is the Chemistry Club. They provided students with so many opportunities to serve, explore career options in the science field, and get to know professors better. My two favorite things the Chemistry Club did, and I participated in was running the Science Club at the nearby elementary school, and "The Big Bang" science night, which was run by the Science Department for the community to get more involved and excited about science. Both of those opportunities helped my love for science grow. It's quite hard for BYU-H to put a huge emphasis on their Science Department, because the majority of students who come here, especially the foreign students, are coming here for the Business Department, International Business to be exact. This makes sense, because BYU-H is such a melting pot, and it's good for foreign students who want to deal in international business to have some experience abroad.
But all things aside, my departure from Physics and Chemistry, and a strong Science community, like all great things, has made my love and appreciation for them grow. And as much as I would love to go into BioChemical Engineering and help people out, I would also love to go into a more Physics driven job where I study atoms and electrons and the smaller things of this universe, or I could explore the great stars of outer space.
In the end, I know that whatever I end up doing for my career will be beneficial for me and my future family, and also will be personally rewarding and fulfilling. And that is all that I hope for in my future. Stay wild, flower child.
