- From believing that academia was my only route as a physics major to pursuing only research-based internships, I've made enough mistakes as a stem major to last a lifetime. In this video, I want to give you all the rundown on EVERY massive, career-impeding mistake I made as a stem major at UChicago so that you can learn from my mistakes and can explore all of your options EARLY in your career.
Hopefully, these aren't ~actually~ mistakes every STEM major makes, but mistakes I made that you all don't have to make! Don't forget to let me know down in the comments if there are any videos you'd like to see from me. I would love to help in any way I can!

Hi all 💛! Hope you found value in this video, thank you so much for watching! As someone who held herself back way too many times to count as a physics major, I hope you can learn from my mistakes and implement the points I mention in the video early on to have the most fulfilling high school, college, and career experiences you can have! Don't forget to let me know if you have any video requests down below 😊(timestamps in description!)
Whats your Ethnicity?
I’ve been watching your videos lately because I’m currently a senior in high school and I’m absolutely determined to get a degree in physics and to hopefully work for some sort of space program (NASA being the ultimate goal of course). I’m thinking about attending UTA and getting a degree in physics with an engineering emphasis. Your advice has helped me a ton and I’m extremely happy that you exist. Thank you for these videos!
Your comment makes me so happy - I wish you the best of luck with getting your degree and inevitably doing amazing work at Nasa!! 😊😊 I'm so glad my videos can help and that I can be a part of your journey - don't hesitate to let me know if you have any video requests or questions about physics!
Last summer my school had paid research opportunities available. I didn't apply because I wanted my summer off. I know research would only help me in the future, but I felt so burnt out by the end of the semester.
Ah, feeling burnt out is definitely a thing in STEM fields. I felt so burnt out towards my senior year that it led to to get a job instead of going to grad school - and it was actually the best decision I made for myself! Don't feel stuck to a specific path or always feeling like you need to do research, there's a lot you can do out there. :)
you have quite literally opened my mind to a lot of other paths i never considered going into college next year
That's awesome! Super important to know all of your options before you get to college (I certainly didn't at the time) so glad I could help :) Good luck with college!!
Amazing video! I'm a senior this year and trying to see whether or not I want to be a STEM major...Thank you so much for your insight!
Thank you so much! So glad my video could help 😁 Good luck with finishing up high school and starting college!
I'm an incoming Physics student at UChicago, and your videos have honestly been helping me so much. So thank you! I'm wondering how common is it for an undergraduate Physics student to get a Master's Program in Engineering?
Good Video !!
Thank you!!! 😊
Useful video
Thanks Tata!
You mention NDT, you should check out his Masterclass
What we have to choose as a major in physics......any idea??
I’m publishing an abstract this summer where I’ll be the second author! How good does that look for grad school even though it’s just an abstract?
Of course, that's an awesome start! I think you're going to do A LOT of stuff in college when it comes to internships and working with a professor - you'll be so fine when it comes to grad school. You have lots of time - already working on research is a massive plus and continuing in college is going to show strong work ethic and a great research trend!
engineers are not scientists.
