10664-deactivated20120219 asked: what made you decide to study physics? what do you like most about it and what do you like least about it? (i just graduated and i'm considering majoring in physics)
I’m insanely passionate about science. I have been since I was younger and got really into Physics during my sophomore year of high school, after reading more into quantum theory. The universe has always fascinated me, but eventually I wanted to learn why things were. Being able to learn the mathematics/concepts behind phenomena on Earth and throughout the Cosmos seemed like a way that I could achieve that.
I like that I actually want to do work in my classes and put forth effort. Studying something that I am actually curious about makes it much easier and enjoyable.
It bothers me that I have to work a lot harder than those in other majors, like business, just to get the same grade… or at least it seems that way.
I’d definitely recommend it, though. But if you’re not completely passionately curious about physics and aren’t willing to give up a lot of your free time, then it might not be the best major for you.
But if you are, I’m sure you’ll do great.
Just give it a try.
