This morning I got up a earlier than usual and was having trouble falling asleep so I decided to spend my time reflecting on the last couple of years. I realized that I have made some pretty stupid mistakes and said some pretty stupid stuff. Over the past couple of days I have been seriously doubting my choice in major. As I sat there thinking I recalled an old quote by Steve Prefontaine that most runners a familiar with; "to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift", I realized at that moment that by following this course as a biochemistry and molecular biology major, I was giving my best, and the fact that I wasn't even giving a 100% to my chosen major is a mistake on my part. So I came to realize that one of the best decisions I have made in the last few years was to become a biochemistry and molecular biology major.I remember writing a post on genuine interest and its importance, and I realized that I chose this major because I love the field, I love where its going, I love the potential I have by pursuing this path, and how many options I will have upon graduation. I love my major, and I love my friends and family even more for helping me see how awesome it is.
