      To be honest Biology was definitely my third favorite science, but that’s not say I didn’t enjoy it (third in science, but it still comes WAY ahead of boring stuff like English and Geography!).

      I considered taking biochemistry for a degree once, but then I saw a chart that showed the biochemistry of human metabolism, it was huge! And complicated! And so I thought, “I can’t be bothered trying to understand all that, physics is loads easier”, and so I ended up taking a physics degree instead.

      Strangely though I’ve ended up in a sort of biology/physics crossover, which is why I would recommend holding on to all three sciences for as long as you can stand, eventually they all start to overlap and you never know when the slightest bit of information might come in handy!
