This made me happy to relate with you all on chemistry lol. Im a Biology major at the University of Louisville and some times I feel like chemistry is going to be the death of me.
Peace be to you both! I'm REALLY late; just subscribed! I typed in "Black biologist" and your channel showed up. I earned a B.S. in Biology in 94'. I worked for a Biotech firm but, eventually became a Physician Assistant (Howard 00' & Univ. of Nebraska 03') and Health Educator (Doctorate A.T. Still in 12'). I think Biology is one of the TOUGHEST majors!😥 I failed Gen. Chem a few times!😭 I'm glad you two are doing well! It's so WONDERFUL to see young bruthaz and sistaz pursuing science degrees! "I never really want to talk about race!"🙄 I feel ya!😅 I had the same experience at PWCU. I would often be the only Black guy in my classes (until I went to HBCUs, though; Howard & UDC)! You two are WONDERFUL! I hope my daughter meets positive sistaz like yourselves when she goes to college, Lord willing! I wish you two the VERY best of succes in your positive endeavors! Peace!😊❤☝🏾️🔬📚👨🏿⚕️👩🏾🔬👩🏿🏫👨🏾🎓
I’m going to be a freshman in the fall of 2020 and I’m kind of scared to be a biology major ( I’m not good at math ) but I guess if I put in the work I’ll be fine
I’m a little nervous too, I want to be a biology major but I dropped my AP Calculus class because it was too hard for me... I already got accepted into the college I want to go to next year but I’m worried for the chemistry part
Nerves are normal when starting something new. Use those nerves to your advantage. I was able to get through and so have many others. I am confident that things will go as they should. It's a great time so enjoy but get help when you need it.
@@OshaliRajapakse It'll be ok, trust me. It's learning experience for sure but when I look back I had enjoyed my college years. There will be hard times but that's life and you learn from them and do better next time. Have fun, I'm sure you'll do great!
I wish I had friends like y'all in college. I'm a incoming sophomore bio major right now. My college friends are so smart that I feel so insecure around them. I'm not open to them about my struggles and gpa. I'm scared to tell them, I'm scared I'm going to end up switching majors and lose financial aid, I'm scared I'll be dropping out... I honestly just can't help but feel sad a lot of the times...
Hi there love, I love your honesty and I can understand your sentiments. What I can say is that we have to work hard not to compare ourselves to others. Trust me, I know it’s super hard not to and I still struggle with it. If your friends are truly good friends, then I’d let them know about your feelings. They could surprise you and you could learn their struggles too. Often times, we all have areas in our lives that we struggle in but may not necessarily display it to the public. As someone who often thinks of the worst possible outcomes, college can feel even more difficult. Take a breath, take a break, do something you love and try to get to the root of your insecurities. You’re much stronger than you think ❤️ thank you for watching!
Im a Chemistry major and man I thought I would escape math. Boy I was sooooo wrong. I had calculus (3 of them) and physics (3 as well). And the maths inside chemistry too like what did I put myself into? But it’s fulfilling every time I finish an exam. ps. I had a hard time understanding Sn2 E2 reaction :/ hahaha organic chem is not for me but I have to study it.
Yeah I thought biology was gonna be a great major but I notice I can’t do math good I know I should try more but even when I get it I don’t like it so I’m like I’m going to switch to Psychology.
Hey, I am a senior in high school and I really want to go to med school to become a surgeon. I applied for a bio major at at a college and I am really nervous for my chemistry classes. I didn't really enjoy chemistry sophomore year of high school so I'm concerned. I love biology and anatomy/physiology but chemistry is a whole different story. I just would like to know if you guys have some studying tips for me? Any specific subject in chemistry I should get a head start on?
Hi Rose! Great questions. I worked pretty hard for a good grade in Chemistry, but I owe that to seeking all the help that I could find. Chemistry wasn't my strong suit, but I went to sessions called SI (Supplemental Instruction) sessions provided by my school. In predominantly, difficult class where the passing rate can be a kind of low, my school has prior students who have done well in the class come to our lectures then hold sessions outside of class. That helped a lot for me. But for the most part, I just studied hard. It's all about the amount of effort you put into the class. To answer your second question, for general chemistry you'll learn a little bit of everything so I can't really say what exact subjects to look over. Think of the class as an overview of chemistry. For example, the first week of my chemistry class pretty much went over everything I learned in high school regarding chemistry. So stoichiometry, acid and bases, periodic table format are all fair game. I don't want to overwhelm you but those are some of the ways that assisted me! I hope that helped! If you have any more questions feel free to email me! :)
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.
Forget Charlie's Angels get a black physics major and we could call y'all Newton's Angels I can so relate to the being in highschool and thinking I'm the greatest and then hitting A levels and realizing I ain't jack
I'm almost halfway through my anatomy class and I know I'm getting a C. I'm going to have to take it again next semester because of I obv. don't know the material that well. Anyways, I was really feeling like this has been the biggest fail of my life.lol. This video honestly helped me feel a little bit more secure. Thank you!!
I love you guys!!! I can relate to this 100% thanks !!! I am also a biology major and this is so me ... I know the struggle. I wanted to give up so bad ... but I am still going through it. hopefully one day I'll look back and say that it was worth it :)
I'm super nervous to major in bio this upcoming fall I'm afraid I won't have time to relax and enjoy myself & actually enjoy the college life even though I know college is about getting your degree I just don't want to sit with a book in my face 24/7 . Is it very time consuming ?
Hi! Don't worry about any of that. You will have time if you know how to manage your time. You'll probable have maybe 2 or 3 classes a day and then the rest of the day to yourself. Of course studying and doing homework will take some of that time, but also if you schedule your time well, you will still have more than enough time to do other things. For me, I was able to work, join various clubs, study abroad and enjoy the college life while still being a bio major. Yes, you will study a lot but you make your college experience. Science majors are a lot of work so I wouldn't advise slacking either. It's all in your time management really. Hope that helped!
The Lambs Okay thank you so much 😩you don't understand how much better you just made me feel ! Thank you for this ! I'm pretty good at time management with school work because I like to get my work done so I can hang out the rest of the day or /week/weekend .also thank you so much for responding !
Oh no problem! I'm glad I can help. But yeah if you definitely should dedicate most of your time for studying but when you're not studying, you can hang out with friends and all that jazz. I've seen students who just dedicate their whole time to studying and didn't really experience college, they got great grades but also missed out. It's still possible to get great grades and fun at the same time! I hope you enjoy college next fall, take it all in because it goes fast!
I really liked your video!! I'm a college freshman and I would like to be a pediatrician, but I hear there are math course you have to take and I'm not that good in math. I can do good with lots of studying, but I'm scared the class will be really fast paced and I won't do well. any advice?
I only had to take calculus and it wasn't too bad. If you put in the work, then everything should be fine. Use the resources provided by your institution like tutoring, office hours etc.. I wasn't great at math either but came out doing pretty well by doing practice problems and seeking help when needed. Also, just have faith that everything will be ok! I hope that helped!
Start with algebra and work your way up. Just take it one class at a time. Like everything just break up learning into little chunks over the semester. Nobody learned calculus/organic chemistry overnight
Dana you was the stuff lol My freshman year was spent at Columbus state community college. Smaller class size, smaller campus so it was a way easier transition. And my debt is way low because of it. As a chemistry major at OSU, I can tell you for a fact that the chemistry department is not under academic probation. It's a student defense mechanism. I struggle with the comparison problem too. I failed the second Ochem. And I'm with Lynn, it helped me figure out a lot about myself. Thumbs up for Lynn👍👍👍👍
I want to become a genetic engineer, so I have a full scholarship to go to UMICH and study Cellular and Molecular Biology and Biomedical Engineering...I think its a good option but I keep hearing horror stories about the major. Any advice?
Wow that is awesome! Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with that major to be able to give you information pertaining to it. I'm almost positive you'll have to take the prereq science classes but it's not too bad if you manage your time wisely. I wish I could be more help!
I took them together. I'm not sure but I do think for most schools they offer them together, but not required to take them at the same time. Bio lab was pretty straight forward but chem lab was a little bit more difficult for me personally
Hey Kelly! I completely understand that struggle. Start small and force yourself to make a schedule. Once you have your schedule, form a routine and try to stick to it as much as you can. Sometimes it will be difficult to get everything done, but have a visual outline of what I need to do helps a ton. Do one that works for you too. Also, a huge part of time management is believing that you are able to achieve what it is that you are planning on doing. The way we think about something can sometimes make or break our approach to something. Hopefully, my rambling has helped! I'll try and make a video on how I manage my time soon!
This video did calm me a little but I'm an incoming freshman and I just switched my major to biology because I want to be a psychiatrist, but I am afraid that the math and chemistry will ruin my chances of getting into medical school. My junior year of highschool I failed honors chemistry so i'm terrified to take another chem class, although I passed the second time. Do you have any advice for us stem majors who arent that great with chem and math???
Hi! I still struggled honestly but my best advice is to expose yourself to material often (before class, during class, after class), use outside resources if possible like RUclips (shoot, I basically learned Ochem 1 on here lol), lastly just do your very best. I know it’s tough but even with that, perseverance is key if going to med school is the goal. You’ve got this! Thank you for watching! ☺️
thanks for the video it was very helpful! I'm currently in the ARMY and we be moving the florida. I will be going to the florida gulf coast university and I'm gonna major in biology. so anything helps I'm sure. one last thing what was your studying like? and also how much time did you a lot yourself for studying? you an find me on facebook too! thanks again.
Oh sounds great! Studying is depends on the person really. Everyone has their own style and depending on the rigor of the class as well. I prefer more of a quiet area by myself to focus on everything. It has helped me a lot for chemistry/science class to read as much of the material as you can prior to class, then make connections once you get to class followed by after class studying and homework. That way you'll see the material several times and you'll hopefully be able to make connections. I studied whenever I had the chance to, but I say about studying for about 3-5 hours a day for all classes. That includes homework as well. Hopefully that helped! Good luck on your endeavors!
lol it's weird that you said you used action movie sound tracks to motivate you while during your homework... lol I use them while I'm working out. lol I should totally try using them while studying because I normally put on India Arie "Break the Shell" on repeat- and end up falling asleep. 😂😂😂
hey guys im strongly considering obtaining a degree in biology because im looking to become a teacher and maybe one day start a career within the nursing/healthcare field ? do u think im making the right choice ? is it a tough course ? help me please ? lol
Hey! It's awesome you're considering a degree in biology. I have learned a lot in this major that I will be able to use in many different career options in the future. You are not limited to just working in a lab or being a doctor. I think being a teacher with a biology degree is a great avenue. I'm not quite sure I understand your question about the course. Are you asking about course load or just a bio class? As far as course load, yes it is quite rigorous, but you get what you put in. If you put in the work and at least try then you should be fine. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Lastly, I know you'd love for me to tell you this is the perfect choice for you, I cannot. You have to make that decision on your own. For me, I like my major and I've benefited from many opportunities provided in it. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I did! Hope this helps, and if you have any more questions then feel free to ask!
Hi Alice! So to become a surgeon you'd go through the process to become a doctor. You can major in anything as long as the Pre-med requirements are met to take the MCAT. With a major in biochemistry or chem, you will more than likely fulfill the requirements but you'd take more chemistry classes to finish your major. I had an intro to medical biochem and it was by far the most challenging class I've had, but I learned so much in that time frame. So a major in biochem can be beneficial. I can't decide for you, but I hope my insight helped! Good luck with applying and feel free to contact me if you need any more help!
I’m really scared because I’m between biological sciences and biomedical science at a different college, I’m a senior in high school, any advice? Ps. This video was funny af to me, y’all are just 😂😂😂
@@SimicChameleon wow to believe I made this comment 4 years ago. I decided to major in health sciences (pre-clinical track) and graduated in 3 yrs with my bachelors and am now in Pharmacy School working to earn my Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). How time flies.
@@Pete-da-peter Thank you for being a follower, I appreciate it! Editing is not my strong suit lol and I'm learning to be better so had your initial comment been replaced with the comment above where there's actual constructive criticism then I'd have been less likely to be upset. That's all. Thank you again for watching and following and I'm working hard to be better at editing and provide quality content!
@@danabelle7736 you right. I guess I owe you an apology as well.. I also could have done a better job criticising you, my criticism could have been more constructive. I'm here cause I'm biology major. What I meant to say is that cut the giggles, and other stuff . Etc. While keep it funny and and engaging. I'm here cause I wanted to know you guys perspective on what to do with a biology major if I don't get accepted into medical school. I also replaced my initial comment with a better one.
@@Pete-da-peter I really appreciate the apology and constructive criticism! I'll definitely keep that in mind when I edit from now on. We'll be recording a long overdue update tomorrow about what we've done since getting a bio degree so hopefully, it will give you more insight! Thank you for being kind and open to communication, more people like you are needed on the internet! :)
You guys are racist, why bring up race when it isn't an issue? Calling out "white boys" and being defensive towards your own race? Race doesn't contribute towards how successful your college career is, stop stereotyping and focus on yourselves.
+Shane Shafer Hey I hope your evening is going well. I just want to clear up a few things. This video was just some advice we had and basically us ranting about OUR college experience. Not once did we say anything apart from what we felt like we have experienced. I hope you can try and understand that it can be very intimidating to be the only one of your race in an entire lab or class. That's all we're getting at. Anyway, thank you for your comment, but I must say that we definitely are not racist. I hope you have a great night 😊
SKYNET #2025 Rasicm against white people is actually low key and from my experience I've heard and seen in person racism toward white people more than people think.
Black queens ! Y'all are still valued !!! Keep being great ... I'm 28 going back to major in biology ...preciate this
Thank you very much!! And that's awesome, I pray for nothing but the best for you and your future! :)
King Rdc yes they are. I’m thinking of going back for biology major with a minor of public health
Same here. How is everything going for you know? I hope all is well.
This made me happy to relate with you all on chemistry lol. Im a Biology major at the University of Louisville and some times I feel like chemistry is going to be the death of me.
I hated it so much, but it's better on the other side. lol trust me! Just keep swimming :)

Na I’m only taking biology so I can get a job in the healthcare field and they say chemistry for people that’s good in math which I’m not
I have my BS in Biochemistry and it was definitely worth it! Great video, queens.

Hi Rose! Great questions. I worked pretty hard for a good grade in Chemistry, but I owe that to seeking all the help that I could find.

Action movie soundtracks! Lol omg I love that you’re funny as hell😄

I'm so close to quitting this whole thing. Orgo is hell.
I can definitely agree that it sucks, but I would say keep pushing. Have you talked to your professor, tutors, etc?
you girls are so pretty
Thank you so much!
why didn't I have these type of tips 3 years ago :(

Has anyone took biology and chemistry at the same time with labs? Is it hard? Because I’m not good with math and science
I took them together. I'm not sure but I do think for most schools they offer them together, but not required to take them at the same time. Bio lab was pretty straight forward but chem lab was a little bit more difficult for me personally

lol it's weird that you said you used action movie sound tracks to motivate you while during your homework... lol I use them while I'm working out. lol I should totally try using them while studying because I normally put on India Arie "Break the Shell" on repeat- and end up falling asleep. 😂😂😂
Yo it's so helpful! And I love India Arie, the chill music is so soothing to sleep to hahaha
How much chemistry and maths is involved ?
Quite a bit, if I'm honest.
This is what I needed!
Omg I found this video not knowing you guys where from Cincinnati what a blessing ❤️
It's a small world right?! We're actually from Columbus, but I (curly hair on the right) went to UC for undergrad. Thank you for watching! 😀
hey guys im strongly considering obtaining a degree in biology because im looking to become a teacher and maybe one day start a career within the nursing/healthcare field ? do u think im making the right choice ? is it a tough course ? help me please ? lol
Hey! It's awesome you're considering a degree in biology. I have learned a lot in this major that I will be able to use in many different career options in the future. You are not limited to just working in a lab or being a doctor. I think being a teacher with a biology degree is a great avenue.
I'm not quite sure I understand your question about the course. Are you asking about course load or just a bio class? As far as course load, yes it is quite rigorous, but you get what you put in. If you put in the work and at least try then you should be fine. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Lastly, I know you'd love for me to tell you this is the perfect choice for you, I cannot. You have to make that decision on your own. For me, I like my major and I've benefited from many opportunities provided in it. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I did! Hope this helps, and if you have any more questions then feel free to ask!
The Lambs I love you Queens. So beautiful and full of life. 😍💕😊
i never took chem in hs
I want to become a surgeon, will biochem be a good major? I'm literally applying rn and idk if I should major in biochem of chemistry
Hi Alice! So to become a surgeon you'd go through the process to become a doctor. You can major in anything as long as the Pre-med requirements are met to take the MCAT. With a major in biochemistry or chem, you will more than likely fulfill the requirements but you'd take more chemistry classes to finish your major. I had an intro to medical biochem and it was by far the most challenging class I've had, but I learned so much in that time frame. So a major in biochem can be beneficial. I can't decide for you, but I hope my insight helped! Good luck with applying and feel free to contact me if you need any more help!
i spoke with my college counselor and she told me Biology would be good. That chemitry was very difficult. Do you think biology is ok to take?
Yeah that's great! I'm a bio major and it's treating me pretty well and you'll definitely get all of the prerequisites you need
I’m really scared because I’m between biological sciences and biomedical science at a different college, I’m a senior in high school, any advice?
Ps. This video was funny af to me, y’all are just 😂😂😂
how is your progress of the biology degree
@@SimicChameleon wow to believe I made this comment 4 years ago. I decided to major in health sciences (pre-clinical track) and graduated in 3 yrs with my bachelors and am now in Pharmacy School working to earn my Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). How time flies.
omg....ya'll like beautiful though....
Sis I'm taking trig 🙃
i love the girl from the right. lets go out on a date
Nice content. A but a better job could be done with the editing
Aww thanks for the feedback! Hope you upload some videos so I can see how editing should really be done 😄 Have a nice night!
@@danabelle7736 don't be mad tho. Im one of your follower. I just see potential, and better job could done
@@Pete-da-peter Thank you for being a follower, I appreciate it! Editing is not my strong suit lol and I'm learning to be better so had your initial comment been replaced with the comment above where there's actual constructive criticism then I'd have been less likely to be upset. That's all. Thank you again for watching and following and I'm working hard to be better at editing and provide quality content!
@@danabelle7736 you right. I guess I owe you an apology as well.. I also could have done a better job criticising you, my criticism could have been more constructive. I'm here cause I'm biology major. What I meant to say is that cut the giggles, and other stuff . Etc. While keep it funny and and engaging. I'm here cause I wanted to know you guys perspective on what to do with a biology major if I don't get accepted into medical school. I also replaced my initial comment with a better one.
@@Pete-da-peter I really appreciate the apology and constructive criticism! I'll definitely keep that in mind when I edit from now on. We'll be recording a long overdue update tomorrow about what we've done since getting a bio degree so hopefully, it will give you more insight! Thank you for being kind and open to communication, more people like you are needed on the internet! :)
too silly
You guys are racist, why bring up race when it isn't an issue? Calling out "white boys" and being defensive towards your own race? Race doesn't contribute towards how successful your college career is, stop stereotyping and focus on yourselves.
+Shane Shafer Hey I hope your evening is going well. I just want to clear up a few things. This video was just some advice we had and basically us ranting about OUR college experience. Not once did we say anything apart from what we felt like we have experienced. I hope you can try and understand that it can be very intimidating to be the only one of your race in an entire lab or class. That's all we're getting at. Anyway, thank you for your comment, but I must say that we definitely are not racist. I hope you have a great night 😊
@Shane
Shut the fuck up Shane. You clearly don't know what racism is.
The Lambs You dont need to explain or apologize. What you said wasnt racist and many have had similar experiences.
SKYNET #2025 Rasicm against white people is actually low key and from my experience I've heard and seen in person racism toward white people more than people think.
Love yall! The struggle IS REAL in college haha!
