I just thought everyone would like this. The “default” human in my biochem class was a female body. It’s something so small but this Kinda thing matters. It’s so common that a male body is shown as the default when studying biology and anatomy, so it’s refreshing to recognize the inherent bias.

Hi :3 My name is Mars, I'm a CS major at a North American university. MASSIVE math lover ! Would love to conduct research someday in math and/or physics to contribute to the field just out of passion.

Planning to use this account to blog/summarize everything I learn in study sessions to inspire and just to log. Hopefully, I can connect to more people who love the subject like I do and maybe make more people interested in the subject. :) Subjects you'll find here: college-level mathematics, coding language studies and physics (maybe others if they're required for my major, but these are the mains!)

Aiming to be studious more out of passion than sheer discipline. Not really here to make friends, but would LOVE to hear your love and thoughts in the comments and just have some chats !

Have fun and get motivated and productive here babe <3

Trying to control a brat as a STEM major, call that motherfucker an extraneous variable.

I love being a biology major because all of my professors are fucking nerds I just had a doctor who is teaching me about conservation biology sign off her email with "may the force be with you"

last semester I had a professor that signed all his emails "sessuvium" (which is a species of plant that "goes with the flow" and can grow under intense conditions near oceans in high sodium soil) he also used pokemon in all his powerpoints and talked about his bisexual wizard dnd character while we were out in the field

while i'm on my soap box let me say as token stem major that the humanities are fucking important. end of.

and i could tell you the reasons for that (critical thinking, media literacy, cultural learning) but to be completely honest i don't think i should have to. i don't think something is uniquely important because 'taking xyz course in linguistics will help you with latin names in premed' because there is value in human experience even if it's not in the service of heart surgery or aerospace engineering.

let me grab you by the shoulders and tell you that humans are important. their experiences are important. the way they express those experiences are important. therefore there will always be value in art, literature, history, film - you name it. humanity is a beautiful thing. that is enough.

Being a stem major when your soul yearns for something else is so hard, like being a stem major is hard on its own let alone hating it but yet having to work hard to ace your grades and be among the top students. It feels like a daily battle, not knowing what to do and never deciding whether to keep going or to simply quit, I often ask myself will this hard work will be rewarded or am I just wasting my life on something I will never come to like no matter how much i succeed in it? Will I regret quitting or will I regretting carrying on? And between this and that I keep on fighting and I pray that i won't lose myself in the journey I didn't really sign up to take

i lost the original post but i would once again like to say that it is some kind of cruel joke that i am spending my nights studying for a calculus exam and doing chemistry homework when i could be reading good omens fanfic

study diary —

It’s crunch time.

I have finals in Calc 3 and Physics this week and I do not feel prepared (but to be fair, I never do).

Today I’ve just been working through Calc 3 review problems - nothing wild or special. I decided to put this little shelf next to my desk last night because I’ve been running out of space.

I don’t think I’ll keep it there permanently, but it’s been very nice to have somewhere close by to put stuff I’m not actively looking at!

This post is sponsored by Goose, who I snapped a pic of mid-yawn and mid-stretch earlier - I am very fortunate.

my boyfriend put an I love you in python code then sent it to me THIS IS WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE LOVED BY A STEM MAJOR

[dead-fandom-society]

college is kinda crazy because I’m paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to subject myself to constant mental torment all because they won’t just suck it up and let doctors practice without degrees

[bookmothic-dyke]

Had panic attack because I misplaced my lab instructions booklet and keys. But I’ll do my best during break to finish the lab write ups anyways, and I figured out a plan to get home. That’s life. Yah fuck up, have a panic attack and temporarily regret your entire major, then go to school and talk with a friend online (who jokes about you being a twilight girlie… which ain’t 100% wrong unfortunately), and feel a little better and get on with your day.

Learning about Kendrick mass defect plots 🤍

It feels good learning about things that directly apply to my research 🔬

So tired. Studying Java concepts right now - have only studied an hour and a half so far…. final is tomorrow noon. Sigh, wish me luck everyone!

I am scared of people in STEM

+ biology people (idk if that counts as STEM)

From a Classics major (I can only do the M in stem ironically)

stem majors like to brag about being a stem major until the work and study needs set in.
