Thank you so much for making this video. I was struggling my first semester and this made me feel better. I'm glad I'm not the only one 😩

How challenging was biology. It was a shocking surprise impression when I try college biology because need to practice active study.

Well, I triple majored in Biology (Medical Technology Track), Electrical Engineering (Biomedical Engineering Emphasis), Physics (Physics Track) for undergrad. Took 1.5 years off for mental health/other health issues. Total of 7 years for undergrad which prepared me for my PhD in materials engineering. I also worked at least 30+ hours while juggling undergrad and have been working since high school. Good video/advice for biology majors.

Chemistry is an unforgiving subject. Especially at my school I felt like when I took general chemistry A my professor and lab professor wanted to take off as many points as possible. Still passed it with a B my first time but getting an A seemed like an impossibility.

Please could you explain the license or certificate? Im a bit confused.

wow

Would A Biology degree help me for physical therapy? The UC’s don’t really have kinesiology.

As a biology major I would've gotten a certification because it is very hard to find a job with just the biology degree if you don't get a masters or a PhD. GET A CERTIFICATION OR MINOR would be my advice.

Do you have a concentration in a particular aspect? I'm a biology student as well with the concentration in biomedical sciences. I feel the burn with physics and chemistry I'm up until at least 1 or 2 am every night right now, wish I would have seen your video before I started the semester. Great advice!!

Sis I'm taking trig 🙃

Chemistry as a minor- as a chemistry major, I feel it. Wish I wouldn’t have put myself through that struggle.

I agree with getting certifications. I got an second associates degree after my bachelors in Medical Laboratory Technology. I wish I could go back in time do the certification first then get a bachelors degree in Medical Lab Science. But you know we all end up in the place that we are supposed to be.

The dynamic duo of Dana and Lynn! I’m glad you guys had great experiences. Love to hear about you succeeding, being honest, and spreading positivity.

Hardest part of being in my twenties- having a chronic disease that very few people in my life understand. It’s very isolating but the more I talk about it with my friends, the more they’ve been able to be there for me.

Hi ladies! Glad you guys are doing well. Spot on with the relationship and friendship advise. You’re never going to find someone who 100% agrees with you. But yeah if you have some toxic people drop them like a hot rock.

Side notes: you look so FINE (I’m a girl tho

The best tips. Thank you so much

Molecular biology, Organic chemistry and lab, and advanced anatomy and physiology and I lab. Not doing this anymore heh

Thank you queen I needed this

I am currently majoring in Biology to become a Gynecologist and my advisor told me to take bio and chem but I feel like I’ll take first year lab and biology first. I read a comment we’re someone said not to major in biology but in a subject what subject do you think I can do please,? And how can someone find internships? Thanks for your video it was very helpful I just came here to free my mind because online courses is really stressing me up and I feel like I am behind in my courses .

I worked part-time jobs relevant to my field throughout both grad school and undergrad. It was insane, but I am so thankful now to have that work experience.

Thank you for sharing!! I will take your last advice to heart😊

sorry what did you mean by taking science classes separately i’m a lil confused

Same currently still in undergrad entering junior year . Feel so far behind now have so many science classes left because I was told to take all core classes first. It’s like they work against you !

I wish I had taken classes separately too. One day someone who switched their major from biology saw all of my books and gave me such great advice. I didn't follow the advice, but in hindsight I know I should have. They told me not to major in biology, but instead major in a subject that I actually like. Then take the pre-med prerequisites separately. Instead I kept packing my schedule and my GPA suffered so much I just gave up on medical school. So if medical school is your goal, slow down, get a certification, major is something other than biology, and take science classes separately. You'll be much better off.

i am fixing to go to college as a freshman, majoring in biology to become a radiologist. my advisor gave me a chemistry class with a lab and a biology class with a lab. i asked if that was normal and if it was too heavy of a load and she said that it would be that way every year as a soon to be pre-ned student. is that right? should i take both at once?

Thank you very helpful

What are you studying now ?

this is such a great video!

This video needs more likes. You’re being real and honest. A lot of undergrads should see this. Especially about the part about gaining some certifications and/work experience while working towards a degree.

I'm going to start this August on my Bio major bc I'm planning on going to dental school, I'm just worried that my schedule will be too rigorous or about what other post-undergrad choices I have if I don't choose to go into dentistry. Your video was super helpful Dana, glad I saw this before scheduling my classes for next semester!

Great video!

Great video!

i love ur vids! you and your friend had me cracking up the whole time LOL i would love more vids!

Is there a lot of physics and chemistry involved? I loved ur video btw. Keep up the good work💕

yeah I don't know who made those schedules but they apparently thought that putting students through maths, chemics and physics and literally everything else would be a good idea

Do you have any tips for finding a job with a Biology degree? I wish more people talked about getting certifications while in undergrad. A Biology degree is basically useless in the healthcare field without experience or certifications.

This is me watching this video at 1am and thinking about taking a semester off to recuperate. I'm so tired with virtual classes and it took a toll on my mental health already idk anymore if I can still handle it and get through another semester.

Taking Bioscience actually makes me enjoy gen chem lmao it's literally just a painful massive info dump of information with my prof

Thank you soooo much for the tips! I just finished my first semester as a biology major and I wanted to switch majors...but I feel more confident somehow now 😭💕

The moment she said to take science classes separately I knew I was screwed.... me here taking chem 122, physics 181 and bio 190 this semester...

Hi Dana... I so so hope you see this I am a bio major in my first year .... I am so scared what If I do not get ino med school or I loose interest .. what and where can I work with my bio degree?

Hi so I am in a tough position to choose between bio and chem and bio and stats which should i go for?

How do you separate science classes given that there are a lot ?

Most Full-time STEM Curriculums: I'm going to create an environment that is so toxic Loved your video & words -- it was very calming as well!. It sucks that outside factors like finances influence students to compromise their health/wallets/education to fit the mold of getting a degree in four years

How much chemistry and maths is involved ?

I really really needed to hear this!! Thank you for the bottom of my heart

Hiii I am here to support🥰🥰

Dana I need to meet you in person. -Matthew Omoijuanfo

I just went thru what feels like dramatic life changing shit, so this video helped clear some anxieties away. Thank you!
