Colleges

Wow, this wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be...

1.For majors, I actually found like 10 of them that I liked (all science-related). These are just some of them.

Astrophysics: This major basically deals with how stars came to be, what they're made of, etc. (I don't now why that sounds interesting, it just does). It also requires you take many math classes (stars and math, Yes!).

Biophysics: Biophysics is putting concepts from physics into biology. You would study things like energy flow within living organisms, the muscles within living organisms, the chemistry of the body, etc. This combines 2 subjects I'm interested in: biology and physics. Again, what more could one ask for?

Toxicology: Toxicology is the study of toxins (poisons). It deals with knowing all sorts of poisons, from inorganic hazardous products to bacteria harmful to humans and the environment. I would probably also throw forensic toxicology into this, as that deals with poisons dealt with in crimes and what not, but still involves poison, which is good enough for me.

Colleges: This was a bit more challenging than the majors but I picked these three based on how many majors they offered of those I liked or was interested in.

1.UCLA: This had about half of the ones I liked, the most out of any college. However, I know getting into this school isn't exactly the simplest thing to do, which is the only thing I'm not so fond of: the competition.

2.UC Berkeley: This school didn't have as much of the majors (only like 2, I think), but still, it had some. I haven't heard too much about this school (or wasn't paying attention when people were talking about it), so this one I need to investigate more.

3.UC San Diego: Again, this one only had like 2 of the major I was interested in. This I didn't even know existed, so this one I need to investigate this the most out of all of them .

Note: Yes, I know I haven't exactly investigated them, but now I have clue, unlike before. Once I thouroughly (spelling?) investigate them all, I'll edit this post and share what I found.

  1. I love physics. I'm actually looking to teaching it one day. I'm really glad you found this helpful, Jesus! ("thoroughly") =)

  3. Astrophysics sounds like an interesting career,
    I agree on the competition of UCLA!
    its crazy, but its still the college of my choice,

  4. Very interesting majors I see that you have a lot of interest in science
    Never knew UC San Diego offered those majors

  5. UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSD... everyone's dream school lol.
    the number of applicants that actually got admitted are low..
    and my.. physics must be your thing :)

    Erik Pena picked Astrophysics too.. I've heard from a lot of ppl about this.. but strange enough, I do not know much of it.

    :D
