Hello everyone! I've been here since April but never posted an introduction. In fact this is pretty much the first time I've looked at any of the forums here besides homework help.

Anyway, my name is Rob, I am from NY and I am a computer science major going for a BS. While taking physics classes I have also realized I love physics and have been considering the possibility of double majoring for a BS in both comp sci and physics or at least minoring in physics, although I am not sure if either of those options will help my employability or are practical choices in any way. I don't want to switch majors completely because I do love comp sci and I don't want to eternally be in school. Until I figure it out I will just keep taking math and physics courses along with my required courses because they are fun and I want to learn more about them.

I also love reading (favorites include Salinger, Vonnegut, Dostoevsky, Rowling, Camus many more)
music (The Beatles , Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Eminem, Jethro Tull, Mahavishnu Orchestra)
video games (Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Diablo 2, Starcraft, TES: Morrowind, Metroid Prime)
anime (FMA: Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Psycho pass, Naruto)

This is a great site thanks for all your help thus far :)

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
