Physics

When thinking about subjects, and what I have always liked and disliked, and why, it has always been a matter of I guess...how applicable the subject can be.

I think it is no wonder that physics has been the favorite.

And I would say that a lot of these specific realizations came and started from starting university. Not really before...not really high school. Because in high school, I didn't take physics.

I took pretty much every science. I knew and just felt deep in my soul I would need it for medical school (I wasn't sure exactly what subjects I needed, I just felt). I felt like I would definitely need, and just want, to take physics, but the thing was, the only reason I didn't take it is that by that point, I had already taken some stem APs that were kind-of horrible. The experience with teachers. It felt like I had to basically teach the subject to myself, because the teachers felt kind-of useless. I had heard that it would be the same case with physics, and that's when I was like, "nope. can't do this again. simply don't want to." I don't exactly regret it, I just wish physics had been required. Because it should've been! It's crazy to me that it wasn't. Especially comparing to other countries.

Especially doing engineering, of course I would need physics (though crazily, only three semesters worth and after this one, I should be done!)

It would've been nice and helpful, I would think, to have some kind-of background in physics. Even though people in my physics class would tell me, that it's not really exactly helping them out either or doing them any favors. They said, you're not exactly worse-off by having not taken physics in high school. Though, people were just surprised that I had not. I'm not sure if it was a matter of the lack of requirement, but either way, I sure do agree!

But why do I love physics? I feel like it is just by far the most applicable. Like, I see exactly how it relates to life, the world, engineering. Wheels turn. Stress, strain, all these things exist. Apply. Happen. You can see their literal effect. I guess especially mechanics of materials (the class I'm in right now) and before that statics have been the most applicable.

General physics, now that was a little bit of a different story. Because even that, felt like on some particular (lol, particle-ular) level, that it was just difficult to imagine. It's like, what are we doing? What's happening? What does any of this mean? How does it relate?

I just like learning. So I wanna know. And understand everything.

How does one even acquire the love of learning? This, I am not sure. This would be a different question to explore. Perhaps, a different time. A different blogpost. I'm not sure what it is for me that just makes me care. I just do...care? I guess, it's related a lot to how things work. Even an interest in medicine=how the human body works, right?

Becuase life, the world, religion, and God are just complicated confusing matters...that that is just why I want to understand and learn as much as I can? Because somehow...everything's got to be tied back. But not even thinking about it that big picture-stuff here on Earth is complicated.

I never really thought about why I care. I just took it at face value. That I do. Because already there is a lot to discuss there.

Stay tuned though, because I want to write separate blogposts about chemistry, and derivations (probably most closely related to math).
