Currently Pursuing A BS In Astrophysics.

Currently pursuing a BS in astrophysics.

It's hard. It's cool and fascinating and fun to see all the connections and actually have direct applications for a lot of physics that you learn. And there is a lot to learn. And lots of different little things that pop up that you have to remember, and lots of homework to do. I am mostly motivated at this point by my confidence that yes, I do enjoy this (space) and I do want to understand these concepts, even when it's hard to do so.

If you haven't started it yet, don't worry. Just start. Try it out. Remember you enjoy it. Remember to do your homework (important in college to give you the foundation you need, especially here). But try it out. Don't be stuck by fear. Try it out for a few semesters, a couple of early astronomy and physics classes. See how you enjoy those, if continuing is what you want. It gets more interesting as it gets harder.

In terms of where it will lead you I can't say. I'm still not sure of that myself with my own career. But it's been worth it so far. It will give you those abilities though, working at NASA if that ends up being what you want, learning more about the reaches and extent of the universe.

need some help from the scientists of tumblr

I love physics and I love space and when I grow up I want to get a job that allows me to study the reaches of our universe (and also I've always wanted to work at NASA because that field sounds epic cool)

BUT

I don't know if I want to spend years of my life studying one of the hardest fields on earth just for me possibly not to enjoy it

So I'm calling on you dear tumblr to help me decide if this is truly the career path for me. If not I'll just go into the arts like everyone else I know :3

Michael Carpenter, Dresden Files

nah. kelsier didn't die.

i'm just gonna sit here in complete denial.

It is according to the newsletter sent out! Chapter three is the same chapter, and it has dragons!

Ok according to the podcast ssp5 has been in the works for many years, its totally going to be that sixth of the dusk related book

And then we get a bit of Hrathens perspective, assume he'll be just floating around, but then it ends with "let it be know, he was our savior."

Still reading Cosmere books and I recently finished Elantris.

BrandoSando tricked me into thinking I was safe making my favorite character the guy who dies on page one. What more could happen to him? He gets a stubbed toe?

That's on me, though. I should have known better.
